Jamaica Announces North American Tour
Don’t be fooled by the name, Jamaica (formerly known as Poney Poney) is not a reggae band. They are a European electro-pop band hailing from France and have recently announced their first tour in North America in support of their new EP Cross The Fader. The album was co-produced by...

La Roux Featuring Kanye West – “For The Kill” (Remix)
Is it weird that I find La Roux hot? I find Rihanna is way hot too, and now I’m starting think its the “weird hair” thing. Or the quasi-lesbian thing. Maybe this is why I don’t have a girlfriend. La Roux featuring Kanye West – For The Kill (Remix) by...

Girls Names – 12″ Vinyl EP
Girls Names are an Irish duo turned trio of twenty-somethings making guitar pop very much in the vein of 80’s post punk bands Beat Happening and The Jesus And Mary Chain. 80’s influences are nothing new these days, (an odd sentence if you think about it) and thankfully upon first...

Summer Camp – Young EP
Vibrant popsicles that melt all over your hands. Cloudless skies that leave you just a little too toasted. Everything about summer is slightly bittersweet. Summer Camp‘s latest album Young is not without drawbacks. Young is mostly satisfying, easy pop. Like summer’s ubiquitous ice cream cones, it’s good enough to consume...

Video: Major Lazer – Percolator
Back in college when I’d be up till all hours of the night not getting laid, I would watch Comedy Central for like, a month straight because it was the first time I had “the good cable”. Some weird shit would come on every once in a while but it...

Of Montreal – False Priest
I imagine the Beatles sounding something similar to Of Montreal if they continued into the 70s and discovered inter-Dimensional travel. To be honest, I know little of Of Montreal before “Hissing Fauna Are You The Destroyer?” I, like most, people were led to the band due to large critical press...

Four Tet Remixes The XX- “VCR”
I’m just gonna go out on limb here and say this would be much more enjoyable after having ingested the controlled substance known as marijuana, while reclining in a papasan chair – perhaps while hanging out with your roommates cute friend. Enjoy. The xx – “VCR” (Four Tet Remix) by...

The Walkmen – Lisbon
Somewhere, it’s the perfect day in New York City. Somewhere, the sun will shine or the clouds will gather or the snow will fill the sepia streets as some young lover shuffles his way past the glowing lights or furtive dreams or irresistible electric color of samba rising up from...
