La Blogotheque // Beach House

posted by matt

beach-house

I really just couldn’t resist posting this. While in Paris, Beach House and some fans holed up in an apartment. La Blogotheque was there to capture it, and the result is utterly breathtaking. It all looks and sounds so incredible, and hearing Victoria speak French, I love her more than I ever did before. Watch, listen, and enjoy.

No Excuses: The Morning Benders Interview

posted by matt

morning-benders-blog

Over the last few weeks, if you haven’t at least seen the name “The Morning Benders,” you’ve probably been living under a rock. From rave reviews of their newest singles, to an amazing video performance of ‘Excuses,’ to topping the music aggregator charts, the Benders have been blowing up. Recently, we got to sit down with lead singer and songwriter of the band, Chris Chu, to talk about what they’ve been up to over the last year and a half, including recording the album, working with Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear, and the air of nostalgia that’s found all over the new record, BIG ECHO. Check out the interview here.

LISTEN: The Morning Benders — Excuses

posted by jordan

morningbenders-bigecho-aa

Last week, you undoubtedly caught the enchanting video of The Morning Benders, John Vanderslice, Christopher Owens of Girls, and a dozen others as they performed ‘Excuses’ for our friends at yourstru.ly.

This week, The Morning Benders have released their opening track from their brand new LP Big Echo and it is just flat out incredible. This is hands down my favorite track MB has ever produced and if this is any indication of how Big Echo is going to feel then get ready.

2 or 3 Things I Know // Say Mayday Mix no. 4

posted by jordan

SM Mix 4 Valentines Day

It gives me great pleasure to debut Say Mayday’s fourth mixtape curated by none other than Chris Black. The Master of Mischieve pulled out all the stops with 2 or 3 Things, and hooked up a belter of a mixtape for you to either touch yourself, or someone else, this Valentine’s Day weekend.

Wake up late, lay in bed and light a joint. This is the soundtrack to a day of relaxing and enjoying someone you love (or at least like). Happy Valentines Day.

- Chris Black
