The National
I just ordered Portal 2, and I’m planning to shut myself in a little bubble and just solve mysteries and blast through walls with my portal gun. It’s gonna be a helluva good time. What’s also nice is that the soundtrack sounds promising, featuring The National for an exclusive song, and also having a music video contest at the Portal 2 site. The Video above was the winner.

Cologne Tape
A supergroup founded by Alex from The Field, members from Battles, Popnoname and many more. This song builds up for about 4 minutes, but please be patient, it’s such a nice ride if you go for it all the way.

Evenings
This is a release I’ve been waiting for a long time, and now it’s finally here, Lately. Evenings blew me away last year with his debut EP, North Dorm. With his sampled and screwed string works, blended in a bed of thick electronic ambiance, it leads you in to a place to rest you soul and mind for a while. Buy Lately here if you like it. I’m also uploading a song which never saw...
Clokx
Stumbled upon this song from a web radio at a friends place a couple of days ago, and I had to look it up. Trance is not the usual kind of music that draws my attention, but this one has a really cool energy in it.
Clokx - Oddity

Shlohmo - Seriously
Frederic Robinson
Somewhere, in a place called Landsberg, Germany, there’s a 19-year old kid making the most amazing drum and bass music you’ve ever heard. Frederic Robinson next release, Laughing at Clouds, will be out in september on Diffrent.

Blackbird Blackbird
Here’s a new song from San Francisco great Blackbird Blackbird. Less focus on the electronics and more focus for the guitar on this one.
Blackbird Blackbird - Passions
Big Black Delta
Such a unforgiving beat and such a smooth voice - it slays! Download it here. If you don’t remember what he and M83 teamed up and made for TRON: Legacy R3C0NF1GUR3D, listen to it below.
Big Black Delta - Huggin & Kissin

Chrome Sparks
Chrome Sparks is the 20-year old Jeremy Malvin from Ann Arbor, who makes beautiful textured electronic music. Heavy influences from both disco and hiphop, this dude takes is a step further than most other artists. The album, My <3, feels so lively and vivid in it’s harmonies and beats, and couldn’t really make anyone disappointed - and the best thing about the album is that it is...

Ahhhhhh yeah!
Air France - It Feels Good To Be Around You
S U R V I V E
Found a song from S U R V I V E on an compilation from last year, Dark As Night. This song is as epic as old epic video game songs.
S U R V I V E - Omniverse
Neon Indian
Yet another tease from, Era Extraña. I said in the first post that I hope that Neon Indians first serious project would turn out like Washed Outs, and now I’m pretty confident that’s a fact. It’s so nice to see artist flourish in the blogosphere one year, and see them manage to take the leap from being something like a chillwave artist and to actually mature as an artist and...

It doesn’t matter if Chino goes witchhouse on us all with those damn crosses. It doesn’t really matter what he does, I’m always open to his mystical lyrics and musical genius. I remember the time so well, when White Pony came out, and that was all I could ever listen to, and the love for Deftones will always be there. Actually I didn’t really know what to expect out...
Tycho
Finally we get something new from Tycho, and what a treat he’s giving us - last time we heard from him was december 2009 when he released Coastal Brake. Hours is the first single from the coming record, Dive, and will be released on Ghostly the 15th of november. Check out his blog, ISO50 - it’s a steady inspiration for both design and music.

TV Girl
Lately things have slowed down a bit - the true gems just seemed hide themselves for a little bit, and friends and the summer heat took over a bit. But today is not like any other day, because today I found out about TV Girl. Just listen to the upbeat melodies and the pop swag these guys deliver. The endorphins just started flowing and I’m ready to get on with the day.
Do yourself the...
SLEEP ∞ OVER
This texan girl, Stefanie Franciotti, really knows how to lay down dreamy vocals in a way that makes your tail curl. Romantic Streams is the first taste from SLEEP ∞ OVERs forthcoming album, Forever, out the 28th of september.
