I can admit it, a lot of the shit I post here tends to be “feel bad music” in one way or another. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like to get down with a feel good jam now and then. The Summer season just happens to be the perfect[…]
Is it possible for something to be chilly and sultry at the same time? Because that’s exactly how “1:00AM”, the new single and video from Kentucky bred Shoegaze revivalist Vyva Melinkolya, sounds to me. “1:00AM” is taken from the self-titled full length album she released earlier this year. Vyva Melinkolya
Just in time to be severely late for Valentines Day Brooklyn based Punk quartet Surfbort drops a video dedicated to spreading love, breaking people’s realities open, and taking over corporate America so they can make art, have fun, friendship, and music forever for their brief but infectious new single “Les[…]
I added “Delete Delete” by Beyoncé and Run the Jewels collaborator Jordan Asher “BOOTS” Cruz to my Spotify workplace playlist when it was released a couple of weeks ago and promptly forgot it existed. Then, last night, it dropped in the middle of a twelve hour graveyard shift and made[…]
Warning! Hot Chip co-founder Alexis Taylor’s “Beautiful Thing” is the artsy Disco heatrock we all deserve to light up this dreary season between Winter and Spring! “Beautiful Thing” is the first single and title track from Taylor’s forthcoming fourth (I guess…his discography is weird) solo album, out April 20th on[…]
I love all of of Montreal’s music. But there’s always at least one song, if not a handful of them, from every one of their albums that really speaks to me. “Plateau Phase/No Careerism No Corruption” is definitely one of those songs. Yeah, it’s ear-catching with its blend of booming[…]
“Will He”, a piano-fueled Trip-Hop meets Trap slow jam from YouTube personality turned musician George “joji” Miller, was easily one of 2017’s most memorable tracks for me. So you can imagine I’m quite pleased that Canadian beatmaker Ryan Hemsworth has delivered a fresh remix that not only extends the tune’s[…]
Columbian/American soulful Pop chanteuse Kali Uchis enlists the assistance of Canadian Jazz band BADBADNOTGOOD, pioneering Funk bassist Bootsy Collins, and frequent collaborator Tyler, The Creator on her new single “After the Storm”. “After the Storm”, which comes off as a bit of an answer to the faux Bootsyisms of Childish[…]
The video for joji’s “Window” may be the most ambitious video so far from what may be my favorite record of last year but I’m not sure it tonally matches the music as well as some of the other clips he’s released. It sure is weird, and a little bloody,[…]
Kevin Barnes continues to evolve his drag looks in the video for of Montreal’s newest two-in-one jam “Paranoiac Intervals/Body Dysmorphia”. “Paranoiac Intervals/Body Dysmorphia” is the first single from the Athens, Georgia-based Indie-Pop band’s fifteenth studio album ‘White is Relic/Irrealis Mood’ which is out March 9th on Polyvinyl Records. of Montreal
I have no idea what the fuck is going on in the beautiful but creepy video clip for Baroque bedroom Pop act Son Lux’s new single “Slowly”. But the music is haunting in a way that is very typical of Son Lux’s output over the years. “Slowly” is the first[…]
I post a lot of horror-inspired videos but the clip for Chicano Batman’s “Freedom is Free” is horrific in a whole different way. In seeming opposition to the upbeat, almost deceptively care-free, vibe of the song, the video depicts the LA-based foursome undergoing the torture of “enhanced interrogation methods” as[…]
