Lately, I’ve been low-key geeking out to the tunes of Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Miya Folick.
Folick’s latest single ‘Trouble Adjusting’ is wonderfully chaotic, crunchy — and has an irrisistable 90s alt-vibe going on, that makes you want to drop everything and ugly-dance like no one’s watching.
Folick’s new EP, named ‘Give it to Me’, will be out this summer.
In case it evaded anyone’s attention, the Roger Waters-composed first single off Marianne Faithfull’s new album is absolutely phenomenal.
Dropped months back, ‘Birth in Reverse’ by American singer-songwriter and all-around badass Annie Clark, a.k.a. St. Vincent, still remains one of this year’s strongest singles.
Now, it has an accompanying video to boot. The video is both jagged and vivid, like the song itself, and serves as a gentle but firm reminder that Clark is one of the most interesting musicians around.
Californian alternative hip hop outfit Why? just dropped a music video for ‘Jonathan’s Hope’, off the album ‘Mumps, etc.’. Rather swell of them to keep doing videos for an album that was released two years ago.
The second single from Flying Lotus’ new album is a jazzy-hiphoppy deal with the always excellent Kendrick Lamar on guest vocals. Moreover, it’s shamelessly catchy. I, for one, am unable to stop my feet from doing a jig every time I happen to listen to it.
That feeling translates quite well to the track’s newly released music video, directed by Hiro Murai, where dead kids are seemingly brought back to life by the sheer catchiness of FlyLo’s beats.
SBTRKT just released a stunning animated video for his Ezra Koenig collaboration ‘New Dorp, New York’.
The track is taken from his new album ‘Wonder Where We Land’, which was released today.
Röyksopp have announced that their next album, appropriately titled ‘The Inevitable End’, is going to be their final traditional album.
Seems like the end to their album-making days will be quite the swan song, though. Their final album will contain several strong tracks, featuring vocals from both Norwegian singer Susanne Sundfør and — as demonstrated on this impeccable rework of ‘Monument’ — Swedish all-around pop powerhouse Robyn.
Canadian producer and singer-songwriter Claire Boucher just released the music video for her Blood Diamonds collaboration ‘Go’. The video was directed by Boucher and her brother, and features generous amounts of sand, black lights, humongous scarves blowing in the wind, as well as elaborate hairdos.
This drony and itchy-glitchy track from Berlin-based electronic music artist Barbara Morgenstern is everything my cold and grey November nights need.
Morgenstern’s latest album ‘Unschuld und Verwüstung’ is out now on Staatsakt.
