[03.09.2010]MGMT – Flash Delirium

Author: Reyn

MGMT

I definitely didn’t expect to see this today, the newest leak from MGMT’s upcoming album, Congratulations. This song is all over the place, showing flashes of pop, funk and psychedelic influences, all the while coming together to create that signature MGMT sound. And you can definitely hear Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips producer) at work on this one, giving it a slightly more raw feel than what we might be used to from the Brooklyn boys. Congratulations will be available April 13th via Sony/Columbia.

[03.05.2010]Gorillaz – Plastic Beach [Album Review]

Author: NateSchumacher

Damon Albarn has taken fans many places on his almost twenty years of musicianship.  I can also say that as a musician myself, he frustrates me to no end, because I can hardly begin to imagine how a person can possess the same amount of creativity and direction he does.  From Blur to “The Good, The Bad, and The Queen”, and his solo work, Albarn likes to switch up his musical and conceptual direction, and the project, Gorillaz, might be the single most important part of his career in that respect.  But this isn’t about that, it’s about the newest release under the Gorillaz name, “Plastic Beach”.


Ride out the album review with one of the tracks from the album:

[02.22.2010]The New Pornographers – “Your Hands (Together)” [mp3]

Author: Reyn

Nearly three years since the release of the acclaimed Challengers, The New Pornographers give us a taste of their highly anticipated project, Together. If this powerful yet catchy track is at all an indicator of what is to come, it would be safe to say that the Vancouver-based supergroup has done it again. And it looks like we are getting the full roster back for the LP, as A.C. Newman, Dan Bejar, Kathryn Calder, Neko Case, John Collins, Kurt Dahle, Todd Fancey and Blaine Thurier all join the ranks. Together will be in stores May 4th, via Matador Records. Pre-order now!

[02.17.2010]Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve [Easy Star All-Stars + Matisyahu]

Author: montrey

This is your Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve. We will try to bring you one “chill” track every day. This is for when you get home and you are trying to unwind. You reach for that glass of wine or that unlit Black & Mild or maybe you reach for something more herbal. This track is for those times. We will try to bring you at least one a day. We are just your milkmen and I’m here to make a delivery. Chill…..

Today’s delivery is brought to you by Easy Star All-Stars. A lot of people were introduced to this group back in 2006 when they dropped the Radiohead cover album entitled Radiodread. The album was a filled with dubbed/reggae versions of classic Radiohead tracks and these guys really are able to keep the essence of the original song yet make the song their own. The track i’m bringing to you today is “Within You Without You” which features Matisyahu and its from their latest album entitled Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band which is a tribute album to The Beatles’ album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.  The track is very trance-y and melodic but it is these qualities that make it worthy of a Daily 2%. You may be reminded of groups like Thievery Corporation when listening. Check out the track and chill….

[02.08.2010]Nneka – “Heartbeat” Live on David Letterman + Bonus Track

Author: montrey

Nneka

Here’s the video of Nneka performing her song “Heartbeat” on Letterman in case you missed it. Nneka is the Nigerian-German singer/songwriter who just recently released her newest album entitled Concrete Jungle. The album just came out on Feb 2nd so you aren’t really behind if you are just now hearing about her. She’s been around for a minute but this is her first US release. The song “Heartbeat” has so much soul and emotion put into it and the heartbeat rhythm just puts you into a little trance. I’ve also included another song from her album just to give you a little sample. Check out the video and the tracks below.

[01.25.2010]RJD2 Exclusive Interview @Earmilkdotcom

Author: montrey

RJD2

RJD2 is a busy man now that his latest album has officially been released. The album, The Colossus, was just released on the 19th so it was a great pleasure for us to be able to speak with him after such a major release even though we only had a chance to ask some rather softball type questions. Check out the interview below and definitely go buy his latest album, especially considering the fact that RJ is  in control of all aspects of his album release with his own label.

Here’s a track, from the new album, to ride on while you read the interview:

EM: How many records do you have in your collection?

RJD2: Never counted, but probably in the range of 5000. Not a huge collection by any standards, really.
