NETTWERK is celebrating 30 years with a little help from their friends, their current artists covering artists in their 30 year history with the album “FROM COVER to COVER: 30 YEARS at NETTWERK“. We must say it’s pretty dang brilliant! One of the covers we absolutely love is SCARS ON 45 covering PASSENGER‘s “Let Her Go.” PASSENGER‘s original version is already so emotional we were … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Let Her Go” by Scars on 45
THE ATTIC SLEEPERS are Mathias Barfod Boll and Matias Knigge Laursen from Copenhagen and they recently released their song “Airport” from their debut EP LANQUIN. It’s a quiet and beautiful song and a perfect way to kick off the Monday after the Big Game. We’re bummed you can’t get LANQUIN on iTunes in the States yet but there are other options (link below). The Attic … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Airport” by The Attic Sleepers
We’re seriously gonna need THE MIDNIGHT HOLLOW to just stop it…to stop putting out music that we are compelled to buy. Did we already buy everything available on iTunes? You bet we did. Do we want to own “Walls” RIGHT NOW. Yep. “Walls” is from their forthcoming FOR THE PEOPLE INSIDE, available March 2015 and it is a catchy and infectious tune. I kind of want … Continue reading Eargasm of the Week: “Walls” by The Midnight Hollow
We love it when we can’t decide which song to make the “Track of the Day” but we finally settled on which track from PRELOW‘s debut EP, WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAPPEN SO MUCH would be it. Check out “I’ve Been Drinking” from New Yorkers, Jesse Aicher and Matt Walsh below. Their EP, WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAPPEN SO MUCH, is available on now in iTunes. PRELOW: Facebook … Continue reading Track of the Day: “I’ve Been Drinking” by Prelow
THRIFT is duo Anna Carmela and Mark Malagise who call their brand of music “dirty disco”. They are originally from Pittsburgh, PA but currently reside in sunny and snowless L.A. Legendary Billboard editor and music journalist, Chuck Taylor, comments: “Thrift’s debut EP offers a sonic inferno opus packed with passion, as electrifying as a key jammed in a socket—and ultimately, an adept rock’n’roll paean.” THRIFT: Facebook … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Warning Signs (Dirty Lover)” by Thrift
VIDYA SETHU and MARC THOMAS teamed up via Craigslist two weeks before Vidya was planning to leave L.A and viola, HEIRESS TO ATLAS was born. “In awe of the improbabilities that aligned their pasts, the duo began to build their future on what their combination inspires; a bold electro fusion sound that they call renegade synthpop.” If you listen to the lyrics, you can hear … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Quantum” by Heiress to Atlas
I had the extreme pleasure seeing this dynamic duo from Durham, NC live last week and I must say I was completely blown away by their performance. If I’m being completely honest, they easily landed in the top 5 performances I have seen live. It’s very magical to watch two people not only connect with each other but with a sold out audience too. When you watch SYLVAN … Continue reading Eargasm of the Week: “Play It Right (Wye Oak Remix)” by Sylvan Esso
One of the best things about loving and listening to music is stumbling onto artists that make you stop what you’re doing and sit and listen. By listening, I mean, putting on head phones and listening to the song and then listening to it again and picking the song apart for different sounds, techniques, intricacies, and so on. This is what “Forward” by THE MIDNIGHT … Continue reading Eargasm of the Week: “Forward” by The Midnight Hollow
MATTHEW KAMMERER (aka MKAIO) has a new side project called N0RTHRN.LGHT5 that is “heavier, fuzzier, harder mix of Trap, Electronica and House”. From Matthew, “This side project began when my PC crashed and I lost all my work on my next Mkaio record. Sending it in to be serviced and attempt to recover my data, I had a couple months in which I just could not … Continue reading Track of the Day: “4UROR4” by N0RTHRN.LGHT5
Those fanciful fun fellows from 8 BIT LOVE have given us a non traditional Christmas song (the best kind I say) with “I’ll Be Home(less) for Christmas”. 8 BIT LOVE‘s quasi-Christmas carol was inspired in December 2012 when frontman, Vito, and housemates received an eviction notice in the mail. “It’s a tale of shock, anger, despair and the concerns of the bonds between housemates when bond is … Continue reading Track of the Day: “I’ll Be Home(less) for Christmas” by 8 Bit Love
