Purity Ring - Obedear




My mind has been bursting at the seams about what to write about this track. This is only Purity Ring's fourth song released, they don't even have a website with info but you can already tell that these guys mean business. I must have played this song at least 15 times. Its THAT good.. I did a little more digging and I found out that they're under the Last Gang Ent. label. Just in case you were wondering the label is an umbrella for Chromeo, Datsik, Lights, Huoraton and some other fuego A$$ artists.

Magic Wands - Teenage Love




Magic Wands is the type of band that is so indie, they don't even have a website (as far I as can tell, thanks Google). The indie pop duo Chris & Dexy Valentine released their first LP, Aloha Moon, this past Tuesday. At first glance, you might think the band sounds like the quintessential backdrop for an Urban Outfitters soundtrack. BUT if you listen to way Dexy's voice flows so smoothly with the melodic tunes, you might feel so ever inclined to keep listening.

Florence And The Machine - Cosmic Love(Seven Lions Remix)



Chillstep Galore!! Florence and the Machine is awesome. Everyone Knows this. But, how could they be made more awesome? Take one part "Cosmic Love" and one part Seven Lions, and viola! The O.G track is smooth with Florence's voice and a nice drum beat in the back ground. This remix essentially keeps that same beat but also expands upon it and really takes this song to a whole nother level. There are some good, vivid drops and the dubstep blends perfectly with the mood of the O.G track.

I dare you to go download Seven Lions EP "Polarize" and see what he's all about.

Take a listen to stay ahead of the curve...

The Maccabees - Child + ALBUM





The Maccabees just released their new album "Given to the Wild" yesterday, i took a gander at it..... and its amazing. If you love indie rock, this is an album for you. The band started in 2004 when they dropped an EP which gained them little notoriety. in 2006 they released  a single "Latchmere" and in 2007 the freshman album "Colour it in" was released.

Zee Avi - Swell Window & Concrete Wall


There's a lot of soul and spunk packed into this 25 year old singer/songwriter. The Malaysian beauty Zee Avi is definitely an old soul with a knack for groovy worldly sounds. Even though her sophomore album was released in August 2011 and she has performed at various music fests like Bonnaroo & Litlith Fair, it doesn't seem like Zee Avi gets the attention she deserves.

Linkin Park - Burn it down

Its been a while since Linkin Park has graced us with some new tracks, and its been long overdue. I get the feeling that when i listen to their music i either really love the track or i hate it. After hearing this newly released song, i get a glimpse of some tight electrics, smooth chorus and verses to which they were known for. i see better things in their future and upcoming album "Living Things" dropping June 26, 2012.
