![Pond - 'Giant Tortoise' [Video]](/thumbs/post/485x231/pond.png)
Ever wondered what Tame Impala would sound like if they were to add a gritty jam-band tone to their spaced-out vibe? Well, don't waste time thinking about it and let the Australian five-piece Pond demonstrate. Having put out four albums as a group, Pond's newest release "Giant Tortoise" is a flangered-out, distorted jumble to which an airy lo-fi vibe softens the load. Play Accredit the familiar sound to the fact that Pond borrows two of Tame Impala's...
![LVL UP - 'Trial One' [Premiere]](/thumbs/post/485x231/lvl-up.png)
Like Guided By Voices with a soured edge, LVL UP hammer in tight, witty songs that usually fit inside the space of a minute or two. A brilliantly toothy romp, the New York band's debut LP Space Brothers still holds a spot among my favorites of 2011. We recently saw the mini-clip to the micro-single "Nightshade" off that record. Now, LVL UP are finally set to release the followup. We're proud to present the second official track off of LVL UP's forthcoming Extra Worlds EP. A spunky drama in two acts, "Trial One" winds...

Representing Richmond, Virginia, Ohbliv has been littering the air with groove-tastic beatstrumentals. For any beathead, Ohbliv is a household name. But for those of you who have never heard of Ohbliv, go ahead and open a new tab to check out his work in the fullest. After a few tracks, you'll...

Following the release of their debut John Coles Park EP, Crash & The Coots return with Hill Rise, our second look into the British band’s self-contained world of quirky individuality. Recorded and produced entirely by the band in their Mum’s house, the Hill Rise EP sees Crash & The...
![Beau Young Prince - Racks On My Rider [Premiere]](/thumbs/post/320x152/beau-young-prince6.png)
This past weekend marked the release two new tracks by DC native rapper Beau Young Prince. He has been a staple on Earmilk for some time now, and for good reason. His flow is young and original and by newly signing a record deal, it appears he'll be making a name for himself in the near...
![LVL UP - Nightshade [Video]](/thumbs/post/320x152/lvl-up.png)
Don't be fooled by the all caps vowel-suck. LVL UP have nothing to do with Nintendo, and you won't find a Gameboy anywhere near their rig. This New York lo-fi outfit is about as far from chiptune as one band can get. But with chunky guitars, big drums, and a charming drawl on the lead vox, the...
![Ta-ku - 25 Nights For Nujabes [Night 20-25]](/thumbs/post/320x152/ta-ku-24.png)
Well, Ta-ku's tribute for Nujabes has ended as quickly as it had started, though it has been a magical journey. Through each of the 25 nights since he started, Ta-ku produced one track in dedicated for the great Japanese producer by mashing characteristics commonly found in Nujabes' tunes with his...
Sit back, put on your headphones and spoil yourself with Youth Lagoon's beautiful new indie anthem "Mute". If you hadn't noticed, Trevor Powers has taken his music in a new direction from his reserved lo-fi debut, a brighter direction filled with optimistic textures. What remains the same is the...
