Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate. The spotlight is a double edged sword, and those who are placed within are often both rewarded by it's benefits and thwarted by it's scrutiny. Struggling for the center stage is in many ways unsettling, as band after band rises up to test their name against the judgement of society often to only be cast away among the masses. Every year there are a handful of artists that manage to tread faster than others, emerging from the darkness of the underground and bursting forth...
Shadows On Stars has somehow managed to stay under the radar despite possessing the traits that hipsters these days seem to love. Just for kicks, they released a track off of their forthcoming album (due for release March 26th) for our listening pleasure.

Don't mind me, I'm still recovering my time trip back to 1989 (fine, I was only 3 years old but I swear I still remember the late 80's). I'm talking about Chromeo and Solange's live performance on the Jimmy Fallon Show yesterday. The trio performed the synthpop single, "When the Night Falls" off...

The weather is starting to get chilly, but don't worry, Serenades are here to warm our frigid ears. Straight from Stockholm, Adam Olenius (Shout Out Louds) and Markus Krunegard have formed a melodious band filled with beautifully layered utterances. Serenades are releasing their first EP, Come...
It's that time of the week again! Though we missed last week, today can vindicate for the lack of M83 features. This is a remix of "Wait" by Sound Remedy. Not only is this an electronic version of the original, but he maximized the length--extending "Wait" to seven minutes long. This remix is not...
