We’ve been fans of Son Lux for a while now and are quite fond of this song. Very subtle but infectious electro/synth pop tune. The video is cute, too.

Small Sound finds husband and wife duo Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley, otherwise known as Tennis, showing both lyrical and musical growth as they collaborate with producer Richard Swift (Foxygen, The Shins) for the first time. Where producer Patrick Carney, who worked on their last album, 2012’s Young and Old, tended to make the fuzzy…

Yes, the subject line of this post merited three exclamation points! We haven’t heard new music from The Bird & The Bee since 2010’s Hall & Oates cover album Interpreting The Masters Volume 1: A Tribute To Daryl Hall And John Oates. Obviously, this has something to do with how busy Greg Kurstin has been…

Sam Sparro is back! And what a smash! It’s a throbbing, slick EDM masterpiece, really. Love those pulsating beats. Want to dance to it already. And it’s got a positive message, too! Also, the additional vocals by Durand Bernarr are wonderful, too. Boy, does he have range.
-
Not quite as good as Angel Haze’s version, which you can see in the post below, but it is still pretty darn good. And he’s giving it way for free. So, download and listen. Or listen then download.

We like this version more than Beyonce’s. So good you can like it even if you don’t like the original one bit, thanks to Angel’s wonderful rapping.
-
Trippy video featuring twin boxers! We love how this song infuses so many genres from soul to R&B to EDM to garage.

“This is it, my apocalypse,” scream-sings Caliban frontman Andreas Dörner during “Wolves and Rats,” just one of the veteran metal band’s killer — and brutal — new songs. It’s hard to believe, but the German metal outfit has been around for over sixteen years now. I kid you not. They were formed in Hattingen, Germany…

Well, well, well, here’s an album title we’ve never heard a pop star use before: FOOD. That’s right, ladies and gents, the new Kelis album is called Food. It drops April 22, 2014, so start listening to your old Kelis albums now and work up a hearty appetite! We highly recommend her last album, Flesh…

Mötley Crüe have announced that they’re breaking up. According to USA Today, they are going to play 70 more shows around the globe with Alice Cooper as their opening act and then that’s it. They’ve even signed a legal contract that states they’re breaking up after the tour. We recall Nikki Sixx saying there would…

A creepy and haunting video for a dark and somewhat twisted pop song. In other words, it’s out of this world awesome. We love you, Meg Myers.

“Games We Play” is the first new track to be lifted from The Soundmen’s self-titled debut EP, out January 29, 2014. The exciting new collaboration features vocals from UK electro-pop royalty, Queen of Hearts. Click “read more” below for more info.

We’ve been in love with Banks for a while now. And she continues to be brilliant on this fantastic new song produced by Shlohmo. It’s futuristic but also sounds like what we were calling electronica around the time Bjork released Homogenic. If you remember Olive, this quite reminds us of them. In any case, it’s…
