The Eversons are New Zealand’s answer to Pavement, 90’s rock radio, and liberals (fuck those flaking liberal dicks).

If only I lived in a universe where every time Bruno Mars’ “The Lazy Song” (maybe the worst top 10 song EVER) came on the radio something by fellow Hawaiian Anuhea would play instead. Here, the soulful Maui native does her take on Estelle’s “Come Over Love” adding acoustic guitar and a smoothed out island feel.

Looks like somebody stuck a quarter or two into these geezers as “Major Minus” is fucking great. This is totally what that shitbrick X&Y should have sounded like. The band sounds focused. The writing here is sharp; the melodies, the instrumentation, the rhythms, etc. Good on ya, Coldplay. It’s nice to have you blokes back.

The Bottletop Band are a U.K.-Brazil charity act comprised of some serious heavy hitters of British music, members of Arctic Monkeys and Babyshambles, Gruff Rhys from Super Furry Animals. New track “One in a Million” features a sultry laid back vocal from our girl Eliza Doolittle. Eliza’s syrupy stylings command a dub-influenced heavily syncopated track.

“Euthanizing a Dream” is the latest heater from San Jose artist NiT GriT. The track is very very melodic and will likely have heads of even the filthiest of dubstep vibing along. Into it.

MeLo goes in on Quadron’s excellent “Average Fruit” from ’09. Adding a kinetic bassline, and a lights down 3AM feel to the instrumentation, the track plays like the ride home, the punctuation on a good evening well shared. p.s. Check the Dr. Woo-directed vid too. Too dope.

“Shuffle” is the lead single from the band’s upcoming third LP A Different Kind of Fix. It’s definitely a different sound for the band, a progression of sorts. But the pop sensibilities of BBC are undeniable and this new record is phenomenal. “Shuffle” is totally a major hit in the UK. Mark it down.

The latest from Washed Out’s Within and Without, “A Dedication” sways and drifts, propelled forward in the most unhurried of ways, crawling to the pulse of a simple piano figure. Check it below.
