October 2014

Pond - Elvis' Flaming Star

Macarella: This band shares 3 members with Tame Impala. Also, wtf ever happened to silly string?



Tiga - Bugatti

Kreepler: Beef chiefs, here's a ridiculous video for a kinda catchy new song.

Whiskey: It took my halfway through that song to realize this isn't Tyga going a new direction. Especially tricky with a song named after a luxury car.



Dinosaur Feathers - Zeitgeist

Foggy Goggles: These guys put out their first album ~2 years ago, semi-solid indie rock. They have gotten significantly funkier and better at writing music since then.



SBTRKT - NEW DORP. NEW YORK

Tatarsky: Pretty fuckin dope. and has no genre. Paul Simon + Gorillaz + Brazilian Girls? Should be a thing.



Communions - So Long Sun

Whiskey: Straight outta Copenhagen. Sounds like Real Estate, and someone smarter than I says "Communions have a tattered sense of nostalgia for the golden Brit-pop era of the mid-80s", to which I say:

This song title is also what I usually cut into my forearm around this time of year. #seasonal #emotions

September 2014

Mac DeMarco - Salad Days

Tatarsky: Track's been out for a minute but wanted to bring it back on the radar. Salad days are gone for most of us, if they were ever here.

Adrien Brody: Tell those junior Beatles' haters on Twitter that Mac is lo-fi Lennon post-Beatles. Dumb shits.



Yelle - Complètement fou

King Troll: Euro euro ok!



Maroon 5 - Sex and Candy

Tatarsky: I didn't wake up this morning thinking I'd listen to Adam Levine cover a 90s throwback on repeat.



Willow Smith - Easy Easy

Adrien Brody: 13 years old, covering King Krule, voice sounds great.

July / August 2014

Vic Mensa - Wimme Nah

Adrien Brody: Chance shouldn't get all the love as the latest and greatest out of Chi.



King Tuff - Eyes of the Muse

Whiskey: New psychedelia from King Tuff, who is just a dude named Kyle Thomas from Louisiana. Interesting story behind his debut album, which was recently re-released after its initial, super-limited launch over a decade ago.



Miami Horror - Wild Motion (Set It Free)

Foggy Goggles: I've been a big fan of these Aussie electropop-rockers since they put out their first and only album a few years ago. Singles are trickling in during 2014, and I can only imagine we'll see a full album soon enough. In the meantime, here is a great fucking track that they released last week. Add it to your list of summer jams.



Vince Staples - Blue Suede

Tatarsky: Hot fire from the west side.



Dotan - Home (live)

Devo: Super catchy Norwegian song. If you don't hate Bastille you will really like it. If you hate Bastille you still might like it or at least find yourself humming it later.



Wildcat! Wildcat! - Holloway (Hey, Love)

JoeCon: These guys do a pretty good Beach House impression.



The War on Drugs - An Ocean in between the Waves (Traumzeit Festival Special)

Kyle: Lost in the Dream is shaping up to be one of my favorite records of the year.
