Rare Monk - Sleep/Attack


Portland natives Rare Monk have found just the right mix of alternative, radio-ready riffs and swelling, violin-tinged pysh-rock freakouts on their latest release, Sleep/Attack.  Even with the inclusion of some syth elements that have been overly used industry wide (see: Read more

Chester Watson - Origami [Prod. Art Vandelay]


St. Louis rapper Chester Watson should be on your radar like... now. Since he dropped "Hubris" a year ago, his flow has smoothed and his wordplay has molded to form the type of seamless verses on downtempo beats we've Read more

Miika Kuisma – Orion [featured in Toyota Avalon ad...maybe]

Art meets the 2013 Toyota Avalon.  The result?  Stunning advert.

Warning: Visual and Auditory Stimulation

According to Shazam, the music is “Orion” by Finnish musician Miika Kuisma.  Not too sure about that, but I didn’t have time to corroborate Shazam’s claim.  I mean, I am kind of a big deal.   Fresh track, regardless.

Damn, this song makes me jealous. Wish my sugar momma supported my rap career.

Big Boi – “Lines” Featuring [A$AP Rocky & Phantogram]

On by NBICKLE.E In Music | comment  

When A$AP says, “Revenue is what I get, get/ your bitch is what I did hit,” it is difficult to know how to respond as a listener.  Is it directed at the person wearing the headphones?  Is it some veiled dis to someone specific?  Is it just some played-out rapper cliché?  Or is it insecurity creeping out through his rapping?

Maybe it is a revelation.  One that is teased-out by Phantogram’s chorus: “The lines we’ve crossed, the lines we crossed/ Have always been why I’ve lost.”

Yeah.  Let’s go with that.

Youth Lagoon – Daydream [Noah Hyde Remix]

On by NBICKLE.E In Music | comment  

Apparently Notre Dame was caught daydreaming last night.  Terrible.  If we could enter that clouded, scary ND daydream that was the national championship, the song playing in the background would be “Blood, Tears and Gold” by the Hurts.  Hm, how fitting.  That’s also what the Fighting Irish sideline looked like.

But shit, luckily Noah Hyde’s remix saved me from that Miami meltdown pant-pooping performance…

Never met a Swede I didn’t like. Never met an Aussie I didn’t like. Shit, no wonder this joint is so dope. From now on, my heritage is half Swedish and half Australian. In fact for dinnah, I am about to have a smorgasbord of kottbullar, blodpudding and Foster’s.

“I Can See It Coming.” Swedestraaalian for awesome.

Hey Sholay – Go Easy Tiger + A Strange Dream For A Boat

On by Alex Mitchell In Music | comment  

Hey Sholay

Despite their uninviting band name, I think Hey Sholay is sitting on the edge of inde pop stardom. They just dropped an album in September tittled ((O)), and have an EP on the way already. I don’t quite understand the deeper meaning of ((O)), but if you just give these two tracks a listen, you’ll see that their music is a lot better than their ability to name shit.
