That Alexis sure is purty. China Shop : Everything is “indie” these days. Owls are in; mustaches are in; Palestinian “scarves” (kaffiyeh) are in; and indie is in. Brooklyn, the proverbial Octomom of American indie music, has popped out yet another prodigal child: Sleigh Bells. However, this baby has earned a particularly large amount of buzz. The music community has polarized itself in reaction to Sleigh Bells’ caustic blend of 60’s/90’s pop, 80’s hair-metal, dubstep, and drum and bass. Their sound is the acid-tongued love child of band members, Alexis Krauss (teen pop group, RubyBlue) and Derek ...

Das kanadische Chillwave/Dreampop-Projekt Teen Daze präsentiert einen neuen Song namens "What You Feel" im Stream. Das Stück ist die B-Seite der aktuellen Single "All Of Us, Together". Den gleichen Namen soll auch das Debüt-Album der One-Man-Band tragen, welches am 8. Juni auf Lefse Records erscheinen wird, dem Heimatlabel von Neon Indian und How To Dress Well ( motor.de berichtete ). Nachdem der erste Vorbote "Treten" sich entspannt groovend gab, schielt der neue Track wesentlich stärker Richtung Tanzfläche und erweitert das gewohnt spährische Soundbild des schüchternen Musikers um einige formschöne Disco-Momente. Hört hat an dieser Stelle einfach selbst: Teen Daze - "What ...

“Red Paint” // Matt & Kim Today is fucking gorgeous in NYC. Also, life is pretty sweet right now. Definitely a Matt & Kim kind of day.

Das kanadische Chillwave/Dreampop-Projekt Teen Daze gibt einen auditiven Vorgeschmack aus seinem anstehenden Debüt-Album "All Of Us, Together". Der Langspieler wird Ende Mai auf Lefse Records erscheinen, welches bereits Künstler wie Neon Indian und How To Dress Well beherbergt. Ein passendes Zuhause also für den Künstler, dessen Musik sich stets als schwebende Symbiose zwischen chillwavigen Klangbildern und elektropoppigen Melodien präsentiert. Nach diversen EPs und Remixen soll die kommende Platte die vorläufige Krönung seiner musikalischen Biographie werden. Bereits jetzt lässt der Musiker, der aus seinem bürgerlichen Namen ein Geheimnis macht, in einige Stücke hineinhören. Außerdem habt ihr die Möglickeit, »hier einen ...

Siinai are Finland's greatest krautrock band. Which is no frivolous praise — the country's crisp air is currently pulsing with electric muesli motorik . Besides this Helsinki quartet, there's the shimmering restraint-core trio K-X-P, pulse-pop melodramatists Zebra and Snake, and Mercury Revved-up space cases Joensuu 1685. These bands share members and managers and most likely record collections, as they're seemingly fueled by a similar penchant for night-driving grooves and cloud-swallowing hooks. Rhythmically, it's Can, it's Neu!, it's La Dusseldorf, it's chin-stroke, bong-hit, zone-out, bliss-out, nod-off, stargazing comedowns. But these bands' almost comically oversized melodies ...
