 Wise Blood - These Wings by Dovecote Records

Loving this EP from Wise Blood. This Reptar-esque sampling master hits us with seven densely layered, bright-eyed tracks.

M83 - Intro (feat. Zola Jesus)

Here's the second leak off of M83's upcoming album Hurry Up and Listen due out October 18th via Mute.

...Epic.

Fenech-Soler - Golden Sun

If you haven't heard of Fenech-Soler, get to know them as they've worked alongside the likes of Stardust, Groove Armada, and have graced the Top Ten Indie Chart on Radio 1. In their own words, this four member band lays down a "crystal clear hook...that soothes then snares, glistening synth, and dirty brass..." in every addicting track as they redefine what we consider pop. You can hear elements from influences such as The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Soulwax, N.E.R.D, and Queens of the Stone Age coalescing to help them fill this hybrid niche.

These Brits are currently signed with B Unique, but attribute their rise to indie stardom as a genuinely grassroots endeavor. While the music industry has caught itself shifting on quicksand, members of Fenech-Soler are proud of having fervently promoted themselves without the help of any industry label.

Fenech-Soler aptly describe their latest track Golden Sun of having "rhythms that summon up the sultriness of desert heat." Put your visors on and give this track a play or three.


(If they get winded from their electro-pop crusade, I think they have a lucrative future in creative writing...)

Mix Chopin - Lush

This Canadian's still too young to buy drinks at the bar, so he spends his time producing some lusciously chill grooves.

||VIDEO|| Gotye - Bronte

Beautiful song by Gotye from his album Making Mirrors. This Gorrilaz meets Princess Monoke meets Jungle Book video evokes a lot of emotion, even if you were never raised by buffalo.

TV Girl - "Baby You Were There"


Baby You Were There is off TV Girl's latest EP Benny and the Jetts. A few pictures speak a few thousand words as this clip shows the limitless narrative capabilities of stop-motion cinematography. In less than two minutes, the director manages to convey the mind numbingly stagnant plateau this couple's relationship has capped off at while they literally just go through the motions.
