[new]: Washed Out – Call It Off

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 08:36 PM PDT

“Call It Off” is the b-side to Washed Out’s upcoming “Amor Fati” single. It will be released on November 7th via Weird World Record Co. It was originally a part of the iTunes release of Within And Without.

It’s more of the same chilled out dreaminess that Washed Out has been easing us with. It obviously would’ve fit right in on the album.

Have a listen below:

[mixtape]: A$AP Rocky – LIVELOVEA$AP

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 08:29 PM PDT

My first taste of A$AP Rocky was during his set at Fader Fort during CMJ. I wasn’t completely blown away, but I definitely couldn’t ignore the guy. Something about him kept my attention, and I’m starting to see that my hunch was correct.

A$AP Rocky just signed a huge deal with Sony/RCA’s Polo Grounds Music for an insane $3 million. So you could say that my expectations are pretty high. Last Friday I heard his song “Bass” and although I didn’t love it at first, the song grew on me over the weekend, large in part to Clams Casino’s incredible production.

Today he dropped his debut mixtape LIVELOVEA$AP as a Halloween treat. I’ve yet to dig in, but if the songs are up to par with “Bass”, it should be a pretty good listen. Not sure if it will be a $3 million listen, but that’s not for us to decide.

Stream “Trill” and grab the whole mixtape for free download below:

[music video]: Leisure – Green Light

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 08:06 PM PDT

Leisure’s “Green Light” is a song that continues to sound better and better with every new listen. The music video only adds to my growing fondness of the song. It’s a perfect fit. The song is going to be released as a (300) limited 7″ vinyl via Crash Symbols.

Watch the clip below, which was premiered by yvynyl and No Fear Of Pop.  There’s also a mp3 ready for download.

[watch]: Passion Pit Play New Songs

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 03:57 PM PDT

Moogfest, the North Carolina music festival took place this weekend. Passion Pit took the opportunity to play two new songs live, one of which is (apparently) called “American Blood”. The videos and sound aren’t the best quality, but it’s still new Passion Pit. The 2nd clip sounds promising. I’m going to assume these songs will be on their 2nd LP.

Hopefully better clips will surface, but watch these videos in the meantime:

I’m seeing them on Saturday at Cornell University. Going to be a good one.

[Band To Watch]: Friends

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 03:10 PM PDT

Brooklyn-based band Friends have caught my attention with their new single “I’m His Girl”. It’s a bit of indie funk, with an attitude. Friends give you that and more on the single which is infectious to the bone. It’s the type of music that won’t leave your head. Next thing you know, everyone will be asking you what exactly your bumping, and you can proudly tell them it’s Friends. This band just gives off this feeling of “cool” that makes it easy to see why they are so likeable.

The “I’m His Girl” 7″ single is released tomorrow, but you can stream it below (Stream b-side “My Boo” over at the bands site:

I’m His Girl:

Here’s “Friend Crush” a single that they released earlier in the year:

[Band To Watch]: Coastal Cities

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 01:48 PM PDT

Coastal Cities are a group of friends from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. At only 17 years old, these young lads have put together an EP called Think Tank that is going to get you moving. Think a mix of Two Door Cinema Club and Foals. Jangly guitars hit hard with dance aspirations create a highly enjoyable sound.

The title track, which rightfully leads off the EP is one to rave about for sure. Wide-winged guitars ride the boundaries of dancerock all while sounding big and awe inspiring. It’s feel good music in it’s finest form, and I can’t get enough. These guys are young, but already have a solid foundation that surely makes them a band to keep an eager eye on.

Below listen to a stream of “Think Tank”:

If you like what you hear, head to their soundcloud page and check out the rest of their tunes. The EP will be released on December 5 via Once Upon A Time Records.
