Der Lo-Fi-R'n'B-Witch-House-oder-so-Künstler Tom Krell, wohl besser bekannt als How To Dress Well, präsentiert nach seinem Xiu Xiu -Cover zum Song "Clowne Towne" ( motor.de berichtete ) einen Track aus seinem neuesten Werk. "Ocean Floor For Everything" heißt das Stück, das im Herbst auf der LP "Total Loss" erscheint. Das Lied besticht nicht nur durch seine dichten Gesangs-Sphären. Auch die ruhige, an sanften Wellengang erinnernde Begleitung erzeugt eine originell inszenierten Nostalgie, die schon immer markant für den ganz großen Pop des Sängers war. Aber macht euch selbst ein Bild vom Song, der kostenfrei heruntergeladen werden darf: How To Dress Well ...

El jóven productor de origen canadiense Teen Daze es, sin duda, uno de los nuevos integrantes del género dream pop y shoegaze, si partimos de referencias como M83, Washed Out, Beach House o Active Child. Su album debut, My Bedroom Floor de 2010, llamó la atención y ahora está próximo a lanzar su nueva producción [...]

Port St. Willow is Nick Principe’s solo project, and it’s quite the gorgeous one. Don’t let this Brooklynite fool you — his music is as lush and fresh as a newly sprouted forest in the spring time, and his debut LP Holiday is overwhelming. It’s almost as if there’s an awakened spirit that rises up within this album… as if Port St. Willow is summoning a deeply spiritual being to carry out ...

The last time we had anything to do with Teengirl Fantasy was back in October of 2010, when we covered their EP 7AM . As such, we’d expect a little bit of “sound evolution” to take place during the gap. Their new song “Motif” teases at their new album, out via R&S;/True Panther sometime later this year. As a first glance, a couple things of note: instrumental with no vocals, strong bassline, quite a long track. Generally, it ...

Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Sounds like: Little Dragon, Twin Sister, Mesita Song: Superhumanoids - Too Young For Love [download here ] What's so good? L.A.’s Superhumanoids are nasty. Fearlessly nasty. And I love it. This group is just finishing up their tour with Balam Acab & Active Child and I wouldn’t be surprised if their next tour consisted of them headlining. It doesn’t sound like they’ll be warming the bench for much longer. Their single “Too Young For Love” opens with a simple synth which is immediately followed by a completely saturated array of electronic instruments — deep bass, drum machine and of course silky female vocals to top it off. The song bounces from a smooth R&B; rhythm to a fast-paced dance beat, and while the contrast is obvious, either tempo is bound to get you moving. This song is a whirlwind of effects and atmospheric tones; it’ll surely get your mind and body racing. Superhumanoids are currently on a cross-country tour. If they’re coming to a city ...

At day two of The Great Escape in Brighton, it being Friday meant that the crowds were growing, the lines getting longer, and thankfully some sunshine came along with it. Day two also brought with it a headlining spot from Australia’s own The Temper Trap , who continue to go gangbusters around the world as the push their new self-titled record, which will see them back in Australia later this month. The first artist I caught today was Canada’s Donovan Woods at the Festival Hub, who we spoke to earlier this month . The solo singer songwriter, with an acoustic ...

Das in Luxemburg ansässige Chillwave-Projekt Sun Glitters hat eine neue Single produziert, welche er als Dankeschön gegenüber seinen Fans verschenkt. Als stimmliche Unterstützung hat sich Produzent Victor Ferreira dabei den dänischen Experimental-Popper Brian Batz ins Studio geholt. Dieser hat unter seinem Alias Sleep Party People jüngst erst mit " We Were Drifting On A Sad Song " ein wundervoll-verträumtes Zweitwerk herausgebracht. Mit dem Gastbeitrag möchte sich Batz auch für einen Remix revanchieren, den Ferreira für das Debüt des Dänen ablieferte. Durch seinee gewohnt verfremdete Stimme verpasst der skandinavische Musiker dem sphärischen Chillwave-Stück seines Kollegen eine besonders stimmungsvolle Note. Hört euch das gute ...
