Rave’s Fave: Moby w/ Wayne Coyne – The Perfect Life

MOBY

Review By Bruce Rave

Moby can pretty much do what he wants. Although it’s been awhile since he’s hit a commercial bullseye, but he’s got one in “The Perfect Life”. This near-perfect collaboration with Wayne Coyne of Flaming Lips has got a sing-along quality that sticks with me big-time, and will probably do the same for you. Moby’s latest album Innocents will drop this October.

Batwings Catwings – September

batwings catwings

Give a spin to “September”. It’s one of the better 2-minutes you’ll have spent in a while. The song is excerpted here from Batwings Catwings’ new WHOA EP. Listening to “September” is like when you flipped on your favorite college radio in the early 90s only to discover to your next favorite band. And no that’s not Joey Lawrence on the EP cover (at least we don’t think it is).

Travis Bretzer – Low Volt

Review by Nathan Hetherington

“Low Volt” is a fine slice of chorus drenched guitar pop, slowed down just right for that extra smooth ride. It looks like there’s a new addition to Canada’s ‘laid back and kinda goofy cool guy’s club’, his name is Travis Bretzer and (above) that’s him there hitting a melon with a baseball bat.
