![Mortar & Pestle - 'Pristine Dream' (Antler Remix) [Premiere]](/thumbs/post/485x231/mortar-and-pestle.png)
In coming to peace with the realization that the love that was once held for another is beginning to fade, we often turn to music to either find comfort or reflect on the situation. While this is the lyrical premise of Mortar & Pestle's debut "Pristine Dream", there is another apparent motive behind the song's dreamy and hope-filled elements. It turns out that "Pristine Dream" is also fueled by the loss of one of the band's integral components, a dear friend who introduced the trio. Speaking of the friend,...

In the large scope of music, we are continually in search of the next big thing, and with such a large portion of popular culture honing in on the current dance movement, which can be independently created, there is constantly an excess of new material to be explored. While there are only a small amount of artists that dominate the majority of music's market share, remixing their work can be an instantaneous push into the spotlight. With an obvious desire for both remixes and dance music, it is no wonder that most of...

Mirror Kisses is exactly the type of music that I imagine to have been played late at night during the eighties. The artist behind the project, George Clanton (who gets drumming assistance from Doug Sexton), has the deep baritone voice of angst, a dreamy lover's pop sound, and the perfect amount of...
One of Brainfeeder’s best and brightest, Thundercat continues to build a buzz around the forthcoming album, Apocalypse, this time with the release of the ridiculously groovy “Oh Sheit It’s X”. The record seems like a blast from the past and a breath of fresh air at the same time. The song...
![New Gods - Skipping Stones Video [Premiere]](/thumbs/post/320x152/man-ocean12.png)
It makes sense really, that our greatest annual time of music comes with our most widespread abridgement of occupations and school. We are at the precipice of one of the year's greatest times, when we can cast the dreary memories of winter behind us and embrace the colorful repose of our...
![Jesse Ruins - Talk To Alicia [Premiere]](/thumbs/post/320x152/9MB006K.png)
Some bands surf their own synthesizers. Jesse Ruins dodge them like characters trapped in a video game. A brand new signing to tastemaking label Lefse Records, this Tokyo three-piece wind deceptively innocent pastels around ripcord Cure bass lines. "Talk To Alicia", the second track to be unveiled...
When speaking of Nu disco there are only a few names that can be mentioned that come with international recognition, such as Flight Facilities. Only a year after their conception the Australian duo became a model of how to transition from merely remixing songs into also releasing original material,...
Not all math hides from the sun. Ireland's Enemies uncage technical guitarwork from esoterica, marrying it to lighter sounds to play what they call "mathpop". This new-minted hybrid combines Lightning Bolt jitters with spacey Hum tone, then winds it all through an Animal Collective...
