[Check out these new tunes from SXSW-bound L.A. artists we haven’t heard from in a while …] White Arrows, “Fireworks of the Sea” – It’s been a while since we’ve heard something new from Mickey Church and the gang, and for good reason. Following the success of their self-titled EP and the remix EP which […]
If NO‘s “Stay With Me ” hasn’t pulled on a heartstring or two before, prepare yourself for the single’s touching Ryan Reichenfeld-directed music video. Opening lines “I’m only human” initially takes on an ironic tone once you realize who the stars are, but it doesn’t take long before the sterile environment transforms into a place […]
Letting Up Despite Great Fault‘s frontman and main songwriter Mike Lee may have recently moved to Austin, Texas, but no matter their current location, the band’s shoegaze-infused dream-pop still echos the summery breeze of L.A. with songs like “Stand Still.” Although the previously unreleased b-side track from their “Paper Crush” EP will not be appearing […]
Like her moniker suggests, Ramona Gonzalez has never been quite in the dark. Since the release of 2009’s “Good Evening,” her music as Nite Jewel has always delicately sparkled with a maturity as much as it mysteriously teased with a shrouded vulnerability. The string of EPs that followed touched on chillwave, but Nite Jewel’s recent […]
Happy sunny Sunday: ‣ Rowdy garage rockers FIDLAR, who are preparing for their new “No Waves/No Ass 7-inch, headline the Echo tonight. [See their video “Oh” here.] Pangea, the Lovely Bad Things and Anus Kings also round out the boisterous lineup. ‣ Mad Planet brings their electro-rock over to the Central S.AP.C. where the Open […]
FIDLAR returns with the fourth and final music video in support of their “DIYDUI” EP, and if you thought a sand-boarding Grim Reaper was odd in the clip for “Wake Bake Skate,” the plot for “Oh” will make that seem like a pleasant daydream. Directed by Ryan Baxley, a day at Joshua Tree gets out […]
Leaps Days like today may inspire some to try different ventures, be braver and perhaps even grow up a little. But the guys in this clip for Moses Campbell‘s new track “Ceiling” remind us how easy it is to just be a kid and nothing else. In a similar vein to infamous best buds like […]
Progressive and electro house DJ Morgan Page first popped up on to everyone’s radar when he released “The Longest Road” in 2008, which featured a then less well-known Lissie. Now a Grammy-nominated artist who is preparing for the release of his fifth studio album, “In the Air” (out April 3 via Nettwerk), Page offers a […]
Boisterous Athens, Ga.-based Reptar perked our ears up with their bright dance music on last year’s “Obangle Fizz Y’all” EP, and the first taste from their debut album “Body Faucet” is bound to gain more praise for electro-pop fans who indulge in Afro-pop through a Southern psychedelic lens. Graham Ulicy’s vocals may sound a bit […]
L.A. by-way-of Green Bay, Wis., band the Violet Lights may let their Britpop influences overshadow over their NYC garage-rock and indie-pop urges, but it’s certainly not anything to be upset about.
