Track/MP3: Schoolboy Q – “Hell Of A Night”
Following Kendrick Lamar’s video for “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe”, SCHOOLBOY Q has released another cut for the weekend crew. MissInfo.tv points to a new recording titled “Hell Of A Night”, which was produced by DJ Dahl and premiered last night during the NBA Playoffs on TNT. There’s still no tracklist or release date for Q’s follow-up to 2012′s Habits & Contradictions but this joint is definitely... Read More
Track/MP3: Jacques Greene – “On Your Side” (ft. How To Dress Well)
Having mixed everyone from Radiohead to Hudson Mohawke, seeing Montreal’s JACQUES GREENE link up with HOW TO DRESS WELL practically unzips your jeans for you so you can get your groove on. Their new collab cut “On Your Side” is all about it too. It’s sultry, polished, and pulsating with Tom Krell swooning to break every piece of someone’s heart. Listen to the track below and keep an eye out for it to be released on a... Read More
Track/MP3: Exwife – “Rituals”
New Brunswick, NJ is famous for Screaming Females, Don Giovanni and now, EXWIFE. The trio worked on a more “cohesive and personal” LP this past February, and its first single “Rituals” (via Noisey), self-destructs to the tune of ’90s experimentation. As the band takes from Pissed Jeans and Nirvana’s Bleach era, the song eclipses and shatters the notion that alternative gets beaten like a dead horse. To the three-piece,... Read More
Track/MP3: Alabama Shakes – “Pocket Change”
If you’ve been waiting for a follow-up LP to the 2012 blues romp Boys & Girls, then here’s your chance to sink into a brand new one from ALABAMA SHAKES. Brittany Howard and the rest of the Athens gang are set to appear on the upcoming True Blood soundtrack and the upbeat “Pocket Change” is a neat little southern number that shuffles along with tenderness. Everyone can use a jangly jump start to their day so stream it below... Read More
Track/MP3: Pure Bathing Culture – “Pendulum”
Vetiver no more, Portland’s PURE BATHING CULTURE are about to stain 2013′s collar with their debut record, and its lead single/opener, “Pendulum”, is a cruising glimmer of keyboard/guitar pop. Without fail, Sarah Versprille and Daniel Hindman acutely disfigure basic textures to deliver a number that’s as toxic as Slowdive but as intricate as a Memoryhouse demo. It’s a listen that unravels emotions with only a... Read More
Track/MP3: The Dodos – “Confidence”
Frontman Meric Long noted Women’s Christopher Reimer was a major influence on THE DODOS’ new full-length, Carrier, and its first single “Confidence” goes on to prove that. The near five-minute number from the San Francisco duo starts with warm and minimalist acoustics, and by the 60-second mark, it swells to become a different kind of creature. It’s a nod to Public Strain and a lot of bands that ripped through 2012,... Read More
Track/MP3: Ryan Hemsworth – “Perfectly”
Thank the music Gods, RYAN HEMSWORTH is dropping a new extended play before he heads to Europe and its lead single couldn’t be more perfect. Titled “Perfectly” (yeah, we went there), the cut thumps with a choice mix of drum beats and sample flips to keep your head in check. Like most of the producer’s material, it’s ideal for highway cruises and rooftop sessions underneath the stars so make sure to tune in. Credit for... Read More
Track/MP3: Ell V Gore – “Lobotomy”
Toronto’s ELL V GORE may be a party freak/no wave punk but he’s no stranger to the music scene. That is, unless you think he’s just a really weird dude. Regardless, the 24-year-old has revealed a brand new track titled “Lobotomy” via the folks at Noisey, and in multiple ways, it’s a vicious single that sniffs the glue that built Ty Segall’s Melted and drills cascading rhythms into the back of your head. It’s... Read More
Track/MP3: Alexander Spit – “Valet Park, CA”
Although some see him as “indie rap”, ALEXANDER SPIT is a purebred MC that does a good job of letting hip hop get its trip on. With “Valet Park, CA”, the barely-scuffed track captures that aesthetic as the two-minute workout from the rapper lives by the mixtape tagline: “a collection of psychedelic unapologetic instrumentals”. It’d be a riot to hear someone jump on this but it’s enough to have you tuned... Read More
Track/MP3: The Love Language – “Calm Down”
Three LPs deep, Stuart McLamb and THE LOVE LANGUAGE have been consistent when it comes to wandering around the vibrant side of lo-fi. Following 2010′s Libraries, “Calm Down” is the first single off of the group’s new full-length for Merge Records and the song’s a head-turner, clashing indie chords with a heart-melting chorus. It’s the kind of sonic noise you’d expect from a veteran crew but the NC five-piece... Read More
