FEATURED: Coachella Playlist
Coachella is this weekend, which means the summer festival season is officially upon us. Also, for some, an excuse to get naked and pretend you’re a wizard. If you can’t make the desert sojourn, you can at least recreate the experience elsewhere via this playlist (minus the oppressive heat and general dishevelment). Contained within are fifteen songs from Major Lazer, Phoenix, Hot...

RCRD OF THE DAY: Hot Chip - Take It In
Though it’s slotted last on their new album, One Life Stand, "Take It In" is really Hot Chip at their most essential and distilled–re-contextualizing incredibly intimate, forlorn pop for the club-going populace.

The Paraffins
Extraterrestrial beings   Weird electro space-pop in the vein of Lemon Jelly, The Beta Band or Hot Chip, Scotland’s The Paraffins are resolutely independent. I mean literally – Billy Samson is the only member of The Paraffins, who gathers a host of extra players only when he records or plays live. Billy emailed me the debut video single for his song Cardboard...
RED WIRE BLACK WIRE - Locked Out
We’ve had our eyes on these Wesleyan grads for a while but this time they bring us a poppier, hook-heavy track, "Locked Out." Who knew being getting fucked up and locked out of your casa could be so inspiring. But evidently it can be, with Red Wire Black Wire spit out cutting lyrics, heavy drums and breezy shoe-gaze guitar in the background. Meanwhile, we’ve had their...
