Both known as reciprocal fans Atlanta [tag]Black Lips[/tag] and fellow southern DJ Diplo have finally crossed paths artistically, as the later remixed the wacky quartet’s sluggish garage jam “Veni Vidi Vici.” Diplo has definitely raised the song’s tempo through the infused synths and up beats, high rhythm suiting the song well. There’s still a lot of things to be told about this catchy remix, but there no use in dwelling into details, better check for…
Dream folk musician and artist Marissa Nadler brought her slow and melancholic music to the Daytrotter Session, where she performed four exceptional songs, using just a acoustic guitar and her weary and beautiful voice. The tracks played include 3 songs from her Songs III: Bird on the Water LP, as well as an unreleased song. Here’s a description of the songs from Marissa herself: These four songs are from a combination of origins. “Sylvia” and…
Washingtion DC noise rock Apes quartet are preparing to release their forth full length album in the form of “Ghost Games,” scheduled to be released February 19, 2008. One of the tracks off the band’s upcoming effort is the synth infused “Beat of the Double.” It’s certainly feels a little different from their previous material, most likely because of new lead singer Breck Bunson refreshing vocals. [tag]Liars[/tag] influences can be felt through out the song….
Just a few weeks ago we told you how amazed we were of Natasha Khan’s cover of [tag]Bruce Springsteen[/tag] classic “I’m On Fire,” who slowed down the song’s tempo and added a melancholic piano line; the end result was a song of her own, what covers should really be. Now it’s time for Portland’s [tag]Chromatics[/tag] to cover the Born In The USA single, trying a minimalistic approach to the song. Subtle guitar chords and calming…
Always been a fan of [tag]Bloc Party[/tag] from the moment Silent Alarm hit the air waves back in 2005; got me instantly hooked. Yesterday I just got news that they’ll soon release a new single, called “Flux”, and apparently it didn’t take it too long to surface on the web. The song’s brand new, hasn’t been featured on any albums, just live shows. It’s actually a bit different from what BC accustomed us along the…
Yesterday we reported, the legendary NY based rap group [tag]Wu Tang Clan[/tag], just got clearance for sampling the classic Beatles classic “As My Guitar Gently Weeps,” actually the first Beatles sampling in history. Well apparently they didn’t sampled the Beatles, but what they did was a reply to the song; a interpolation, as explained by the band on the band’s myspace blog. “The statement that we made yesterday was incorrect and we apologize for any…
[tag]PJ Harvey[/tag] is undoubtedly one of my favorite contemporary female vocalists, her unpredictable vocals have always been a mystery to me. Her voice can switch from intimacy to anger as if on a hair trigger, a quality or better yet gift few artists posses and master. Now after 15 years of experience in the music industry Polly Jean released her eighth album this week, called White Chalk, in which she ditched her trademark guitar for…
I instantly fell in love with Natasha Khan’s music, ever since I had a listen of her last year debut Fur And Gold. Her soft and weary voice, together with the psychedelic pop vibe her songs have, made me a instant fan, but I never though all that could fit in [tag]Bruce Springsteen[/tag] song. She repeatedly made a few cover versions of the Boss’s 1985 classic “I’m On A Fire” and I can surprisingly say…
Starbucks just makes you think about coffee or other beverages or a quick snack. But that is about to change. It is going to make you think about music. The Starbucks Corp. plans to give away 50 million free digital songs to the customers as a way of promoting a new wireless iTunes music service that’s about to debut in some markets. From Oct. 2 to Nov. 7 they will hand out about 1.5 million…
The LA three piece Seneca Hawk is a rather unknown band, outside of Californian dessert, but make no mistake they are extremely talented. The band has released their debut self-titled LP back in October and since then completed a national tour. “Restless Sea” is the LP’s highlight and as the title may suggest, it mirrors the band’s raw and wild nature, that makes a rock ‘n’ roll band great. A barrage of excellent drumming, together…
