‘It’s like if four 19-year-old Japanese kids who really like 1980s/1990s American rock n’ roll formed a band.’ This is how a friend of mine described the band Hausu to me. Despite hailing from Portland, Oregon, there is a definite Eastern presence in the quartet’s music. Combine that with sad tales about missing home and [...]

It was also the place where Firekites frontman Roderick Smith’s family came to build a holiday house in 1981 – the epicenter of his childhood dreaming. He spent long summers there roaming through the bush, [...]

Some songs bump into your life at a very peculiar moment, expressing something that you might not be ready to admit to yourself at the time but resonating with you on a deeper level all the same. Avoiding a Fight is one of those tunes. It was written and self-recorded a few years back by [...]

The Great Gatsby movie is THE movie of the year. I’ve felt tiny tears in my ears every time I watch a new a trailer for it. And the soundtrack: it’s amazing. It’s perfect. And completely star-studded. Sia, Florence, Lana, The xx, Jay-Z, Jack White, and more. It’s not out until May 7, so in the meantime, listen to this soundtrack sampler. It’s brilliant.

YouTube user Kirill Bacherikov saw some video footage by Ed Systems of a washing machine being shaken to bits — and decided to mash it up with the erratic electronic sounds of Autechre (Gantz Graf to be exact). Got to say, these go together as well as cheese and crackers.

I have liked Girls Names for some time now. They were great at the recent London show and the venue was pretty packed. The have a black and white sound with hints of colour, a metronomic beat with a touch of Hank Marvin that should leave you starvin’ for more. If you’re a fan of [...]

Case in point: FlashFlow, dreamt up by Sunderland-based Matthew Ryder, which promised to breathe life to your music by synchronizing your lighting to the music you love according to its volume, tempo and frequency content. The device lets you synchronize [...]

Wendel Patrick is making a name for himself as a producer, fusing different elements of jazz, electronica and Hip Hop to create lush musical collages. In this video, he reworks DJ Premiere’s instrumental track from Nas’ classic Illmatic in his studio without the use of samples. Most brilliant.

This is a great music video where the magic comes from the fact they did it for real, when it could so easily have been made in CG. Lightboxes bearing beautiful typography light up in time and sequence to the lyrics of the song. It’s a lovely, simple idea, executed to perfection. A pleasure to [...]

After what has been reported in European media as the darkest winter for the past seventy years, I feel like every fiber of my body is craving light and warmth. The perfect remedy: the new album from Los Angeles buzz band, West Indian Girl. Shangri La is an ecclectic mix of musical influences, perfectly capturing [...]
