If you have 17 months to spare that is… A certain crafty, passionate and, not lastly, obsessed individual took the liberty and time to recreate the famous Daft Punk helmets in the comfort of his own studio. The end-result is nothing short of spectacular, and can be seen in the YouTube video embedded below in all its 749 steps towards completion. [via Radio Exile]
At the dawn of a new decade, it’s a safe guess to state the future arenas will be dominate by acts such as the Kings of Leon, a band whose success has been steadily been built upon its Southern roots foundations to it’s modern day U2-like status. A new Kings of Leon album will only enforce their status, and as I’ve been given to find out a few movements ago, it seems like the new…
A pesky leak forced the eccentric NYC quintet to move their latest album’s digital release date from mid-September to August 3rd, which for you couch potatoes is today. As a small sample of what’s to be expected from “Root for Ruin”, Les Savy Fav’s fifth full length if you wanna count them, I present you with “Let’s Get Out of Here”, a densely guitar packed, full stomp anthem. Yeah, typical Les Savy material, which is…
Alright, this is one of those disturbing videos you run into, and immediately after hitting the play button through out the end of it all you’re left with that oh so familiar what-the-fuck feeling. One thing’s for sure with Ratatat’s latest video for “Drugs” – it’s damn well suggestive. Ratatat’s latest album “LP4” is out now on XL. DrugsRATATAT | MySpace Music Videos
Seems like Panda Bear isn’t the only Animal Collective to release a solo album this year, seeing how Avey Tare is prepping his solo debut, titled “Down There”, for an autumn release. His press release states that Avey’s “favorite animals are the otter and crocodile [and] the latter has played a big role in his newest record,” which kinda explains the cover art pictured above. I’ve got not idea how his new album will sound…
Arcade Fire’s much anticipated third full length, “The Suburbs”, is due for official release tomorrow, so don’t just sit there, order! I’ve managed to stream the album at least a dozen times by now, and I can honestly all the hype the band attracted on blogs and reviews is more than justified. The Suburbs has moments where it’s as intense as Funeral or as uplifting as Neon Bible, but at another level – not necessarily…
Is that Gollum impersonating a clown? If anything, the illustration above, that’s actually the cover art for Robert Plant’s upcoming new solo album titled “Band of Joy”, depicts a very interesting scene. If you’re curious how the new Robert Plant album sounds, you can check out his cover of Los Lobos’ “Angel Dance”, where the former Led Zeppelin frontman lays down some tight dirty blues vocals on top of a swampy instrumentation.

Bubbly, seriously creepy eyes put in contrast crossed with trippy instances of various characters make the video for Chromeo’s latest single “Don’t Turn The Lights On” an enjoyable view. The solitary pair of eyes strolling around the scenery towards the end of the video is hilariously golden, and that, solely, is enough to hit the play button below. The Canadian duo’s third full length, titled “Business Casual”, is due September 14th for release via Electrofunk….
What better artists to soundtrack the follow-up to Tron, one of cinema’s most daring futuristic movies, than the robot affectionate duo Daft Punk? The influential house group was commandeered to deliver both the score and soundtrack for Tron: Legacy’s very colorful and SciFi environment. A challenging task, indeed, but from the looks of it, the French duo not only stood up to the task, but they’ve actually out done themselves! Just check out the two…
Last year I was introduced to Clubfeet, a very promising three-piece electro band from Australia which marvelously fused ’80s disco pop with modern day synth pop. Today, I learned that Clubfeet is releasing their debut full length “Gold on Gold”. Upon further digging, I found “Count Your Lovers”, a sweet and soothing french disco song, beautifully arranged in hypnotic keys and uplifting synth lines.
