this song makes me want to break stuff. basically.. eddy current = aussie ruckus = rock and roll. off their new sophomore album Primary Colours. we couldn’t be more pleased to find out that they formed during a random jam session at a vinyl pressing factory company Christmas party. and just in case you were wondering, as their video proves.. there’s not too many things more punk rock than a beach party

“you know, baby, i know you think we can make it all work out, but i gotta tell it like is…” well, baby, we gotta tell it like is! this track totally wrecks! mayer hawthorne is a detroit-based singer/multi-instrumentalist signed to stones throw. he counts some of that city’s iconic writers as influences, including; smokey robinson and holland-dozier-holland. this astronote remix comes to us via moovmnt and is smooooooth as the tuesday after labor day is long.

so who gave editors the synthesizer?? really.. Editors’ new single “Papillon” is off their 3rd LP In This Light and On This Evening, and is without a doubt a departure from both The Back Room and An End Has a Start. the track propels Editors into the heavy synth and dance beat territory, which is yet to prove welcoming or not. Maybe a new sound will prove some magic as heard on The Back Room. maybe I’ll run into the band at a dive bar 80’s dance party. and maybe they’ll be partying with depeche mode… while interpol watches jealously in a corner?

soul singer kaye-ree “is bringing change by bridging the gap of old and new”, …that bridging of old and new is apparent on the persian-german songstress’ tune “reality”. kaye-ree’s contemporary r&b-informed (and just beautiful) melody is married to the track from cru’s 1997 classic “just another case”; a song itself that samples rhythm’s gorgeous 1976 r&b jam “the world is a place”. that said, it’s right clear to us that kaye-ree comes as advertised; displaying a great taste/feel/literacy for the music that’s come before her.
kaye-ree’s debut record “endless melody” is out now. props to soulbouncefor hipping us to her.
