Eargasm of the Week: “Hold Me Closer” by LANKS

LANKS is one of those artists that manages to take sounds that might not individually appeal to one’s ears but once he combines them all together, it is a euphoric melody to the ear. I sort of imagine him in brightly lit scientific lab but instead of smoke billowing from test tubes, it’s a drum heart beat here, a distorted wailing noise there, and the sound of electricity over … Continue reading Eargasm of the Week: “Hold Me Closer” by LANKS

Eargasm of the Week: “By the Ocean” by Dusty Boots

Sydney’s DUSTY BOOTS is Jonny Dustow, an Australian teacher, adventurer, and musician and his song light and airy song by life “By the Ocean” is an autobiographical reflection about the life of adventure he shares with his wife as REBEL ON A RAINBOW. That is the main reason “By the Ocean” is our eargasm of the week. It’s winter here in the States and this song … Continue reading Eargasm of the Week: “By the Ocean” by Dusty Boots

Eargasm of the Week: “Walls” by The Midnight Hollow

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

Eargasm of the Week: “Play It Right (Wye Oak Remix)” by Sylvan Esso

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

EARGASM OF THE WEEK: “Jennifer” by Sleeping Wolf

If we’re being completely honest, we had a terrible, terrible time deciding on which track by SLEEPING WOLF to actually feature as our EARGASM OF THE WEEK. Ultimately, we decided to pick the song that made us go investigate exactly who the band was and that was their fantastic and catchy tune “Jennifer”. As fans of 80’s music, this song felt nostalgic to us and transported … Continue reading EARGASM OF THE WEEK: “Jennifer” by Sleeping Wolf

From their forthcoming self-titled, debut album comes “Wait Wait Wait” by Albany, NY based NORTHERN FACES. According to NORTHERN FACES, Facebook bio: “It all started after a few too many drinks and an exchange of words that should have never happened, but thank god it did.” What I like about the song is that it is catchy as hell (duh, it is why it is our Eargasm … Continue reading EARGASM OF THE WEEK: “Wait Wait Wait” by Northern Faces

Eargasm of the Week: “Forward” by The Midnight Hollow

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

Eargasm of the Week: “This Time” by Bruno Merz

It is no secret we are fans of BRUNO MERZ and we couldn’t be happier to share his song “This Time” as our eargasm of the week. “This Time” is the first video from Bruno’s latest and newest album HIGHWAYS (available on Amazon | iTunes) and was recorded in Bruno’s home country of New Zealand.

In the HOLY FREAKING MOLY of covers, KASABIAN‘s cover of IGGY AZALEA‘s smash “Fancy” is nothing short of brilliant, amazing, awesome and well, 110% better than the original.
