The Golden Filter – Hide Me (Peter Bjorn & John’s Hortlax Cobra remix)

April 19, 2010

Peter Bjorn & John have rendered almost unrecognizable The Golden Filter‘s “Hide Me” in what they’re dubbing their Hortlax Cobra remix. There’s a new vocal and a focus on the world “focus.” You may want to re-listen to the original which definitely remains the top version, but PB&J are kind to maintain the key and [...]

Two Door Cinema Club – Something Good Can Work (The Twelves remix)

April 15, 2010

This is actually the second time this tune has appeared on a Kitsuné Maison comp, but clearly the boys of Two Door Cinema Club know how to work that maison. The Twelves handle remix duties, dropping a little harpsichord synth (as they did on their remix of Metric’s “Help I’m Alive”), and take a top [...]

Jamaica – I Think I Like U 2

April 13, 2010

To spare you from the ear-tainting experience that will no doubt follow, I won’t mention specifically what TV spot this brilliant little pop ditty is currently playing in. But let’s just say Jamaica is making some cool car cash these days. “I Think I Like U 2″ is the French band’s introductory handshake with the [...]

Sebastian Blanck featuring Caroline Polachek – Thunder

March 31, 2010

Sebastian Blanck has tapped Chairlift singer Caroline Polachek for this folky and beautifully harmonic tune, “Thunder.” There are moments of some rhythmic shifts, but for the most part, it’s pretty straightforward, which isn’t so bad. Sebastian Blanck – Thunder feat. Caroline Polachek by soundbleed

Marina & the Diamonds – I Am Not A Robot (Penguin Prison Remix)

March 23, 2010

Newcomer Penguin Prison is a sour little electro mixer and goddamn if he hasn’t made Marina moodier with a bass-emphasis in the diamond-encrusted disco jail yard that is this remix. But oh how we like it. (We’ve also heard he does an impression of Aaron Neville. Sweet!)

It is finally time to let go of all of the winter baggage, to completely rejuvenate yourself and perhaps even upgrade some things here and there. It’s time to update your wardrobe with all things light and comfortable, get together with people you haven’t seen [...]

March 18, 2010

Relation are the UK duo of Andrew Leary and Oliver Keech. Their debut album, Fear of Night, dropped last year, but isn’t available in North America and seems to have limited availbility in the UK and EU. Instead of going on here, listen to the first 30 seconds of “Optimistic,” below. If you aren’t hooked [...]

The Mary Onettes – Dare

March 17, 2010

The Mary Onettes are a Swedish band that kinds sounds a little Irish. On this track, we hear some violin, and lead singer Philip Ekström’s voice that could be a mix of Shane McGowan and Conor Deasy of The Thrills. Even if you don’t hear that, you’ll love this catchy little number. They tour later [...]
