This could very well be her year. Having had support on Flume AND Snakehips tracks, it’s safe to say this fine lady knows how to pick ’em. Her live show should be a treat!

Snakehips – On & On ft. George Maple

George Maple – Talk Talk

Flume – Bring You Down ft. George Maple

The illustrious psychedelic rock group FINALLY show signs of life with their new synth heavy single “Let It Happen.” A few months ago Kevin Parker said that they would be leaning more on the electronic/synthy side with upcoming releases. I’m sure some people will find a reason to be upset about that, but I was seeing them moving toward a more Jagwar Ma sound while still staying true to their style.

This extended track starts off smooth as butter; everything we love about the group. Around 5:30 they make use of the vocoder and it’s somewhat reminiscent of Midnight Juggernauts. I included a Midnight Juggies song below, because if you’re not familiar, you should be! Enjoy.

Tame Impala – Let It Happen

Retro-funky doesn’t even begin to describe Saint Motel. Their 2012 debut Voyeur and its exuberance was received extremely well by listeners in the indie-pop scene. More recent EP My Type has been earning them more clout as a hip 80’s pop-rock outfit. With a live set that is bound to keep you shimmying. Then there’s jazzy piano, horns, and sax thrown in for good measure, Saint Motel have got a certain zest about them that would be foolish to kick off Sunday without.

There’s nothing quite like waking up and seeing a collaboration between two of your most admired producers. I haven’t seen many artists have the same kind of all encompassing reach in the music scene quite like ODESZA has. They’ve gotten props from people all across the board. From Wu Tang Clan to ZHU, so it’s pretty well regarded at this point that these guys are a force to be reckoned with.

This remix shows their slower, more chilled out and groovy side. With Katie Herzig’s vocals slowly building to a fast paced and synth heavy dance sesh that ODESZA is so good at.

Yannick Ilunga [alias: Petite Noir] has dubbed his sound ‘Noir Wave’. Sweeping vocals on top of tribal rhythms and modernized electronics tied to restless lyricism makes for some very mixed emotions. Since 2012, he’s been turning heads with his apprehensive new-wave meets African aesthetic. So much so that he caught the ear of Yasiin Bey [alias: Mos Def].

He just released The King Of Anxiety and it is a testament to the sentiment.

London’s Ed Cares, better known as ‘CHILDCARE’, has a Free EP out. It is 4 tracks of high-energy pop-punk that’s got us remembering why we love live instruments and rock so much. We need to see a live show (for some bruises).

CHILDCARE – FLUSH EP

Imagine, if you will, our boys in blue donning instruments and crusading throughout the night to stop baddies from perpetuating the culture of terrible music. A welcome sight that would be, but alas our men in uniform have more pressing matters to attend to.

Instead, LAPD is the brainchild of multi-talented Ryan Pollie. The sound he’s developed is far from horrid. We finally got around to listening to his debut album and have only this to say: Buy it!

It’s a lo-fi heartbreak that when finished, leaves you in a strangely pained joy. It’s kind of like ripping off a band-aid. We mean that in the best of ways. He’s really talented. Buy his album. Album two coming soon!
