“20 Years Tall”, the speak-verse/killer chorus track from L.A. via Utah band Sego, is the band’s maiden single. The chaotic yet nicely syncopated opening guitar and bass hook on “20 Years Tall” is maybe its best asset aside from that aforementioned great chorus. Sego is band worth keeping an eye toward as “20 Years Tall” is indicative in its writing quality of a band with definite and serious potential.

We were on this kid early and look at him now! Synth wiz/your favorite DJ named after a water sport takes a trippy spin on the perennial indie/hipster favorite Foster The People’s “Best Friend”. This official remix merges the smooth edges of the Aussie Wave Racer and the great hooks of Mark Foster and to create a whole new and quite unexpected spin on the track.

Covering as stylistically singular a track (and really as iconic) as Ginuwine’s “Pony” seems like a path fraught with pitfall after cliche-trap after pitfall; fortunately for you and the legacy of the great Ginuwine, the immensely talented Zak Waters knocks this expertly modernized version of the ’96 classic straight out of the park; grand slam home run.

The rising L.A. synth duo Imperial Mammoth prep for LP Gold Confetti with the release of a puppet-aided video for single “”Fifty-Five Fires”. The track itself a sort of blend between the boy-girl call-to-arms pop of Matt & Kim and the more artful reaches of the CHVRCHES sound is well complemented by the cool Matt Glass-director film noir w/ puppets clip. Give “Fifty-Five Fires” your eyes and ears below.

The terrible twosome of Lido and Cosmo’s Midnight spin a tinkling pianos-aided bit of 2014 electronic music around AlunaGeorge’s track for “Superstar”. The spread between Cosmo’s trop-style rhythms and Lido’s more counter-melodic instrumental technique creates for a very cool dynamic. Do listen.
