Local Natives - Sun Hands (RussianAdults Remix)

This is one of those cases where I’m favoring the remix more than the original. Thank you RussianAdults…or LegoRoom, whichever one you guys go by.

Also check out a few other remixes on their soundcloud such as the songs by Kate Bush, Royksopp, and N.E.R.D.

Shout Out Louds - The Comeback (Ratatat remix)

Apparently this track dates back to 2005 on hypem and all the links are broken, so if anybody has this, please let me know because it’s unavailable on Amazon. Also, gave a listen to some of the new tracks by Shout Out Louds after dalryaug’s latest post and I’m enjoying the latest single below. Somehow the vibe of it makes me want to cruise down PCH.

Shout Out Louds - Fall Hard (from Work)

And for rediscovery sake,

Shout Out Louds - Impossible (from Our Ill Wills)

Phantogram - Mouthful of Diamonds (live on KEXP)

via Barsuk Records & Ghostly International:

Phantogram’s music sounds like it’s made by a band from the city. Electronic loops, hip-hop beats, shoegaze, soul, pop — each finds its way into their songs…

Phantogram - When I’m Small

Local Natives - Who Knows Who Cares

Every time I listen to Local Natives, I find a new current favorite. Kinda bummed I didn’t make the effort to see them play in LA back in December.

Past faves:
Stranger Things, World News, Wide Eyes, Cards & Quarters, Shape Shifter…oh heck, the whole album!

The Blow - Hey Boy

Hey Boy
Why you didn’t call me?
I waited for days
I can’t believe you didn’t call

A. You’re gay
B. You’ve got a girlfriend
C. You kinda thought I came on too strong or
D. I just wasn’t your thing, no ring

Gotta thank last.fm for this one. Not sure how it appeared on my radio but I’m glad it did.

Wolf J - Grizzly Bears Panda (via Earmilk)

“Hip-hop meet Indie…Indie meet Hip-Hop”

from bio:

WolF J is part of a new wave of artistes who focus on developing themselves in all disciplines of art. A graphic designer, videographer and most importantly a singer/songwriter, Wolf is inviting eyes and ears to a reality of his own, a technicolour soundscape.

I know it’s not the holiday season, but listening to Feist’s “Mushaboom” is always refreshing.
