Mitten

For the love of time spent drinking a glass of wishkey and bagel the duo from Brooklyn Maia and Joanna, really did a great sound on a subtle beat.

Christopher Hewitt (Knucklehead) is one of my favorite film director with hard cut style editing and washed color cinematic frames. In colaboration with Tim Brown (1st AveMachine) which another great director, re-make a 80's war film titled Spheres of Fury with their own kind a style packed with comical and modern attitude. This video was nominated for best low budget music video at the 2010 Music Video Awards.

Metronomy - The English Riviera

After the bathetic electronic groans 'Nights Out" in 2008, Metronomy has made some changes. And The English Riviera album is miles removed from the glowstick-waving indie-dance that previously characterized Metronomy.. Instead, it piles on ambling good vibes and darts of sweet synth, along with bass lines that sculpt songs into various shapes; try listen to 'The Look' it become an exercise in restraint, calmly flitting.. like musical Tetris. Or a laid-back number; 'Everything Goes My Way' you can enjoy the bubbling synths whirr that mixed with Anna Prior's vocal. I'm in love agaaaaaaiiiinn..

Beat Connection

Who: Jordan Koplowitz and Reed Juenger
From: Seattle
metaphorically described as a disco person who likes daft punk, wearing a over size beach house tees under a tropical shirt with fancy lo-fi hat on his head then make a band with his highschool buddies(WTF??). They made some good records.

New Animal (on the block)

Who: Kris Hermstad and Derek Burdette
From: Atlanta
Yes we are a new animals at last, but with some kind of beauties indeed. Is a post spiritualized melody that can give you visual feeling through music. From psych pop to some bedroom experimental instruments, anything that can give them feeling.
