Listen Before You Buy

Hear another song from Daniel Rossen’s upcoming EP.

The first part of some anticipated albums for this coming year includes Alabama Shakes, Azealia Banks, The Beach Boys, Beach House, Fanfarlo, Frank Ocean, Grizzly Bear, Janelle Monaé, The Killers, Marques Toliver, The Miracals, Memoryhouse, MGMT, Michael Kiwanuka, Miike Snow, MIKA and the morning benders!

Bowerbirds just dropped this new track and you know damn well that it’s awesome!

What really sets Marques Toliver apart is that thereis nothing out there that sounds quite like him. Being classically trained has allowed him to find an incredible balance between composers like Bach and global pop/R’n’B superstars like Beyoncé or John Legend.

TweetShare This post is a “QuickPick”.  QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that’s sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it’s so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I “star” it in [...]

TweetShare Chris Taylor, best known as producer and vocalist of acclaimed band Grizzly Bear, has brought to light his own solo project under the name CANT. This breathy, multi-instrumental layer cake of a track is a sample of what his upcoming album, “Dreams Come True”. Another major point in excitement: Twin Shadow‘s George Lewis Jr., [...]

TweetShare Something about summer always gets me thinking about songs that sound like summer, but I’m not the only one. Earlier today Tyler the Creator dropped his Summer Camp Mix on the Odd Future web site.

TweetShare Fleet Foxes singer Robin pecknold is obviously not content with getting their second album finished up and practicing that he had to go and record some new shit with some buddies, just for the hell of it. As he said on their Facebook page he “recorded three songs in LA a couple weeks ago [...]

TweetShare When James (the head-honcho) from We Are Trees sent me the demo for “Afraid Of Love” at the start of February, I was under the impression that it’d be on his upcoming EP “Girlfriend”, but not so! He just sent over the first single from that EP and on his Bandcamp page the tracklist [...]

TweetShare That’s We Are Trees up there, at age nine, on the right. Sippin’ on a 40, tokin’ on a doobie.  That’s just how Asian kids roll in Virginia.  Hardcore, all the way across the sky. He’s been working on the follow-up to last summer’s stunning “Boyfriend” EP, tentatively titled “Girlfriend” and last week sent [...]

TweetShare This seems to happen, and has happened, with a lot of other music sites and blogs, whereby they post about a new artist who’s trying to get some coverage of their music and over the course of a year or so they watch that artist blossom and grow and get the kind of acclaim [...]
