Suede “Barriers” (MP3/Stream)

The last time we heard a new Suede song was a decade ago. If you’ve forgotten “Attitude,” well, you’re not alone. But the once-great UK band have not just fully reunited but they have a brand new album called Bloodsports due in March. To give us a taste of what Suede circa 2K13 sounds like, [...]

NJOMZA “HIGH” (Stream)

December 18th, 2012

Njomza breathy vocals that echo throughout her track “High” will leave you just that, elevated and wanting more. As the tune progresses her voice reaches a crescendo that goes from silky to more robust and full. The melodies and instruments used in the track aid in making this a remarkable song.

The xx “Last Christmas (Wham! Cover)” (Stream)

December 17th, 2012

One of the better originals written in the last 30 years is Wham!’s “Last Christmas,” which has become the victim of numerous covers. I [...]

The XX ” Chained (John Talabot & Pional Blinded Remix)” (Stream)

John Talabot and Pional have been busy this year and now they have taken on The XX with “Chained”. This track is definitely a standout piece that is a bit more unobtrusive for a “dance” tune. The breathy vocals, instruments, and the synthesized beats are laid one element on top of each other. Combined the [...]

M.I.A. “Attention” (Stream)

December 6th, 2012

We have a new stream by M.I.A. it is a synthesized, super produced and experimental sounding song. “Attention” is representative of great production with the use of chants, ethnic beats, and dissonant instrumental arrangements. The lyrical content is not as catchy as past releases but, if you are a big M.I.A. fan then you can [...]

Amherst, Massachusetts “fun-rockers” California X previously released a rad, scuzz’n’fuzz-filled 7″ earlier this year, and now they’re set to come back in January with a self-titled debut album for Don Giovanni Records. A must have for anyone into “noisy 80s Western Mass rock, fuzzy 90s garage pop, and classic post-hardcore SST sounds.”
