turnt up

VERY excited to hear new music from Dawn Golden, aka Dexter Tortoriello, the other half of Houses. Check out the video for the first single, All I Want, off the new album, Still Life, set to be released this Spring on Mad Decent. Also, if you haven't already heard the Blow EP, you should get thee to the YouTube and have a listen. Here's a start.

Sexy, dreamlike soul. Drink it up now or at SXSW. The Gooey EP will be out April 8.

All nine tracks are also available on iTunes. Get on it.

For your trippy viewing and listening pleasure.

Also, if you dig the inner workings of the creative process as much as I do, then definitely watch the video from the creative strategists themselves, Damien Jurado and producer, Richard Swift, on this sequel to Maraqopa. 

These guys out of Australia are my fave. They're putting together a series of covers aptly titled, "Like A Version." Check out this cover off of Arctic Monkeys' latest album AM, with a little hit of Ace of Base's "All That She Wants" to finish 'er off.

Listen/purchase: Always EP by Panama

Sexy Jesus, chiseled abs, headphone sex, make-believe basketball, and impromptu baptisms, all tried to distract me from the psychedelically bouncy new title cut from Cut Copy's as yet released album, Free Your Mind. But it was unsuccessful in its distraction, as I freely gyrated about the room, smiling. Very much anticipating this album's release on November 5.

The sassy soul is brimming over the top and utterly infectious in the full-length beat-loving debut, Wildewoman, from the New York quintet, Lucius. Hear it in all its glory over at NPR's First Listen.   

Loving this track, and kitschy video, off the new Dr. Dog album, B-Room, which is set to release on October 1. Stream the full album here, before its release.

Listen/purchase: Californian by Wesley Jensen and The Penny Arcade

YAY! New Kishi Bashi!

If you've never heard of Bare Mutants, well, it's time to get familiar. These guys are AWESOME, and their album is rockin'. Take a listen NOW over at Pitchfork before the album hits on August 9. Yeeeeeah!

Check out the new track released by Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover. Download the song for free on his soundcloud.
