Kavinsky. Nightcall. From the OST of Drive. Best soundtrack of the year past. Lovefoxx. She’s left marks all over me with her voice. Down. Dirty. Grimy. Low tempo yet loaded high on energy waiting to be set loose. Like a high on rev engine burning rubber in stationary motion right before letting go of the clutch.

Hollow Scene. A new project by a French friend (who’s a straight edge punk, btw). Digging the sound of their track ‘Come With Me’. Absolutely delish indie electro pop with a pronounced synth led New Wave feel to it.

Azealia Banks - NEEDSUMLUV Spellings be damned. Lyrics be damned. And the guy be damned, whoever would make her play second fiddle to any girl.

The Shins - Simple Song Just proves that simple might be the more difficult thing to do. I wonder why people think simple also means giving away the right to be inventive. I expected more simplicity.

Enter Shikari - A Flash Flood Of Colour
“Dubstep is the new Metal”. That’s passe. If anything, that’s what ‘Sssnakepit’ sez out loud. And they give out best of both, starting on a D’n’B led intro building up to frenzied moshpit inducing growls and riffs. Album’s out.

Scissor Sisters feat. Krystal Pepsy: Shady Love
Nothing shady about love when it’s out in the open (right in front of you on a stage, in fact) and when it’s cute pre-teen kids dishing out choreographed moves while spelling out unmentionables that’d make their mommies choke on cereal at the breakfast table. Cute.

Iron & Wine: Godless Brother in Love
If only all of life was as beautiful as the sound of this one. And if the act of being Godless alone could bring it about. Then there are moments. Of Beauty. Of Godlessness. Independent of each other. Together in their solitude.

2 more unreleased Radiohead recordings from the...
Two more (yes, there seems to be a spate of ‘em now) previously unreleased tracks by Radiohead from the late 80s/early 90s have surfaced. Low quality demo tape recordings of ‘Fat Girl’ and ‘Fragile Friend’ are up, and both have quite a pop alternative feel to them, quite reminiscent of some of their earlier work. Nonetheless, at a certain level it feels just about...

Happy Birthday David Bowie
It’s David Bowie’s birthday today. That should give The Flaming Lips and Neon Indian the answer to their question. Happy Birthday! May you have always have your oddities filled with stardust as you ziggy beyond Mars in space. Just try keeping away from spiders, will ya!

'In Your Nature' - Zola Jesus remixed by David...
There isn’t much one could do when David Lynch offers to do a remix of your track. Of course, you CAN’T SAY NO! And that wouldn’t be out of trying to be polite at all either. ‘In Your Nature’, from Zola Jesus’ ‘Conatus’ has been mixed by David Lynch. Not entirely surprisingly, the result is a very carefully weighed down, heavy on the mind experience...

Munky's New Project - Fear And The Nervous System
James ‘Munky’ Shaffer and his solo project Fear And The Nervous System. Sounds like Korn, but then not anything like Korn either. You can listen to the single ‘Choking Victim’ here. (I’m still wondering if human innards are as hairy and scaly as the guy above)

Runway Music - Thom Yorke style
Thom Yorke - Stuck Together by ObscureSound     Two relatively unknown tracks have surfaced which trace their origins back to sometime last year when Thom Yorke composed runway music for a clothing label. Doesn’t look like his style of music is going to go out of fashion soon. It just keeps changing the fashion of the times.

Born to Lose - Sleigh Bells
The first single from Sleigh Bells’ sophomore album ‘Reign of Terror’. Alexis Krauss’ layered vocals add the missing haunt needed for Derek Miller’s guitar noise to push you over the edge. The track drums its way into your head, drilling in with its chaos to push out whatever noise might be inside that cavity. Contrary to what the lyrics sound to be on the surface...

The Weeknd - Echoes of Silence
For the start of a brand new year on a weekend asks for the party to go on longer. ‘Echoes of Silence’, the highly anticipated third album by The Weeknd is up and streaming for a free listen. And it makes good sense to give it a listen as the new year weekend slips past. Smooth grained R&B vocals cruise on mid tempo thumps, leaving you in a space that isn’t exactly...
