New Zomby
Zomby has released a new track from their upcoming EP, One Foot Ahead Of The Other. The track is entitled “Helter Skelter,” which is a fast-paced electronic tune that would feel right at home in the soundtrack for Chuck or any other “action” show that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

New Acid Girls
Acid Girls is made up of Gregory Bowler and Jamie McNiel, who work most with electronica and dance music. They have just recently released a new single “The Numbers Song,” comprised of a good drum beat with trippy, short sweeps, and chopped vocals that provide another beat for the track.

What I’m Listening To: Matt & Kim
This week, I have been listening mainly to Matt & Kim. If you haven’t listened to them, I highly recommend it. Matt has a very different vocal style than most other singers out there today, which is one of the aspects that I like about this band, though it may not appeal to some people. [...]
New Taken By Trees
“Watch The Waves” is a new song taken from Taken By Trees’ soon to be released album, East of Eden, which is produced by Dan Lissvik. The song has a very relaxing feel to it, as does much of the other music I discuss. This song has a great guitar part, which is what initially [...]
New Artist: Elizabeth & the Catapults

Tight, indie pop that’s endlessly catchy and absolutely heartfelt, this is a combination of Lily Allen with an innocent flair and Feist covered in candy. It’s uplifting, lush, and, quite honestly, some of the [...]

YACHT’s new album released
YACHT’s new album, “See Mystery Lights,” was released today through DFA Records. It is available through both iTunes and in stores. A word of warning, if you are epileptic or seizure-prone, you would be much better off buying the album through iTunes, as the cover art uses what is called “holographic foil.” For an example [...]
New songs from Weezer
Recently, while playing in South Korea at the Jisan Valley Rock Festival, Weezer performed two new songs, the first entitled “I’m Your Daddy,” and “The Girl Got Hot” as the second. If these two songs are any indication of the style of Weezer’s seventh album, it will be largely popular with the late-teen age group, [...]
