Fallout Many of you probably already know, Neon Indian’s new album Era Extraña will be out 9/13. Finally, we get a taste with it’s first single, “Fallout.” The tune has some pretty dramatic instrumentation (gotta love the guitars), which makes sense combined with the falling out of love lyrics he sings.
Read MoreAll There Is ft. Steffaloo Using toy bells, a drum machine and spliced vocal melodies, Chrome Sparks created a wonderful genre bending jam titled “All There Is.” My <3 EP is out now and available as a “name your price” download at his Bandcamp.

The Sea Aleksa Palladino’s chilling vocals highlight the carefully layered “The Sea.” With a sound similar to Phantogram, ambient synths create a base for post-punk guitars and pulsing drums to grow. “The Sea” is EXITMUSIC’s first song recorded since signing with Secretly Canadian.

Maniac Clap Your Hands Say Yeah’s new tune “Maniac” reminds me a lot of something. I can’t quite put my finger on it though. It’s not the Beatles, but it definitely has that Beatles era 1960s pop-rock feel to it. Whatever it is, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah take the vibe and make it their own by […]

Midnight City Warning: “Midnight City” will make you dance. M83’s new jam starts out with a chorus that sounds like it could only be made from the creature in their album art. High-pitched buzzing/singing surrounded by full snyths and a dance beat. It doesn’t get any better. Once Anthony Gonzalez brings in his vocals, the song mellows out a touch […]

We’re Awake Tonight “We’re Awake Tonight” will remind you a lot of ELO’s “Mr. Blue Sky,” mainly because it seems to have a very similar chord progression and rythm. Don’t get me wrong though, it’s definitely not the same tune. Gross Magic keeps it pretty grungy. The song will be released as part of his upcoming […]

Feel Better To Fall The level of maturity in The Orwells music is deceptive as they appear to be no more than sophomores in high school.
