New Music Monday #5 (Wolf People, Cisco Adler)

Wolf People

Wolf People is kind of a mix between The Doors and the vocals of The Silversun Pickups. I absolutely love it. At first I couldn't get into it because it seemed a little far out there but it grew on me. Check out their newest album which was just released last month.

Wolf People - Empty Heart



Cisco Adler

Cisco Adler is one half of Shwayze and is about to release his fist solo album and I just got a hold of the single. The album is supposed to be released later this spring and has people like Mikey Avalon, Shaggy, and Cobra Starship featuring on tracks. Here is the single.

New Music Monday #4 (jj, The Twelves, Miami Horror)

These are some hot bands on the internet these days and they are all releasing music soon. jj is a swedish duo that has a very unique sound. At first I wasn't so into it but it grew on me. It is kind of tropical and a little ambient so it isn't my traditional taste but hey I like it. They had their debut ep “n° 1” and album “n° 2” this year and “n° 3” is supposed to come out sometime in the beginning of this year.

Masterplan


The Twelves is another duo but this time they are out of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This electro-pop mashup band have progressively gotten greater attention having showed up on bills with LCD Sound Systems and Phoenix. What makes them unique is that they do a combination of live synth instruments and remixing giving them an amazing sound. They are coming out with a new album soon so be on the look out.

A-Ha – Take On Me (The Twelves Remix)


Miami Horror is a DJ who comes to us actually from Melbourne, Australia. He has produced dance hit after dance hit having remixed songs for Pnau and Datarock. He has had a few EPs out but the freshman album is coming soon (not soon enough if you ask me). Oh and apparently Neon Indian is helping out on some of the vocals. Should be good.

N.A.S.A. "A Volta"

This is definitely one of my favorite music videos of all time.

New Music Monday #3

This week its all about electro, 80's, pop, that sorta thing. First off its Neon Indian. This is a texas band that has reinvented the term “band” with there only being one musician (Alan Palomo) and the other being a video component (Alicia Scardetta). Originally Palomo was a film student himself and his basement project Neon Indian became something much more. Now it has become a serious project and Pitchfork gave the album Psychic Chasms a Best New Music award and had two tracks in the top 100 of 2009 list.

Deadbeat Summer



Fizzy Dino Pop is another texas based band and has played some shows with Neon Indian. Made up of Avery Williamson and Yuria Hashimoto this group I feel is more along the lines of daft punk. They just announced a west coast tour with Sore Losers so if that is you check back at their website for tour dates www.fizzydinopop.com

Space



The last artist is Ellie Goulding. A little birdie told me about this one just recently. I am addicted to the vocals and the bouncy dance feel that accompanies them. My only problem is that you can only purchase her music from the British Itunes. If anyone knows where to purchase her music in the US please let me know. She has toured recently with Little Boots and now has some shows with Passion Pit (I wish she could have been at the show I went to). Anyways, please enjoy this health plate of disco tunes.
