Listen: The Walkmen — Stranded

posted by jordan
This morning on All Things Considered, NPR debuted a special first listen to ‘Stranded’ the first track from The Walkmen’s upcoming Lisbon. Lisbon, Portugal is reportedly a huge influence on the sound of The Walkmen’s sixth studio album, which was recorded over a 2 year period. The horns on this are just beautiful. I couldn’t be [...]

Listen: Sleigh Bells — Tell ‘Em

posted by jordan
At this point in time Sleigh Bells could probably shit an mp3 and I’d put it on repeat. Today the world got their first taste of the lead track from their debut album Treats and it is a straight up banger. I’m going to make it easy for you. Press play and turn your little [...]

LISTEN: Chip Tha Ripper — Feel Good

Chip Tha Ripper’s ‘The Cleveland Show’ mixtape premiered today. Slab Up, Mick Boogie, & Terry Urban came together again to get The Cleveland Show out to the world, and honestly it’s pretty God-damned perfect. Chip is smooth and confident on ‘I Feel Good’. This is already on my summer bangers list. Chip Tha [...]

I luckily caught their live show and was instantly swept away in their incredible charismatic performance and cult like following. It’s was like nothing I’ve ever [...]

posted by jordan
It’s been rainy as shit in Los Angeles and I been listening to downer shit all week (ie: Aziz Ansari’s Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening. Or maybe that was just a let-downer). Thankfully, Paris duo Cracks gave Atlas Sound’s Shelia the ole’ spaced out, 8-bit treatment. I know you were obsessed with the original [...]

LISTEN: Spoon — Written In Reverse

posted by jordan
Although their new album Transference won’t be out until January, Spoon debuted their latest cut Written In Reverse yesterday on NPR’s All Song’s Considered. Written is a bent and twisted track with howling lyrics and a jangly, thumping beat. This shit is bad. I’m really looking forward to Transference Spoon — Written In Reverse [Audio clip: view [...]

LISTEN: Sleigh Bells

posted by jordan
Brooklyn’s Sleigh Bells ruined my morning. Our homies @ HOBO FM just pulled together some select tracks from Sleigh Bells and I have pissed away my entire morning running through them all. Lo Fi, simple melodies that turn outright raw with grinding guitar and over modulated dance hall beats. Their track Crowd on the Ground [...]
