Mr Little Jeans - Stones In The Attic (via RCRD LBL)
Well, I guess whoever still actually follows this tumblr can benefit from my procrastination on schoolwork.
An any rate, the summary is… Mr Little Jeans is a London-based Norwegian girl who recorded in LA. Sorry, but that’s all I’ve got. As described by RCRD LBL, this track is “Lykke Li-ish” and I’m always in for some percussive elements. So far, I’m apparently the only one who’s hearted this song on Hypem, where I found an interesting cover of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” below that’s been out since February, which I also recommend checking out. (btw, i really hated this song until now)
Mr Little Jeans - Single Ladies (Beyonce Cover)
If you’re up for something bordering mainstream pop, “Angel (RAC Remix)” is good too. (Yup, once again, RAC’s Andre Anjos is on the case and adds his analog touch on upcoming breakthrough artists such as this one).

Olafur Arnalds - Ljosio [video] (via)
Gorgeous fan video by Esteban Diácono, an Argentinian motion graphics designer, that enhances an already beautiful and delicate composition by Olafur Arnalds. It’s full of life and bursting with color and contemplative quotes.

Tallest Trees is a psychedelic experimental pop band from Nashville, TN that creates sweeping soundscapes over pop structured songs with instantly memorable melodies using instrumentation including samplers, guitars, keyboards, drums, and more. It’s members are Thomas “Trees” Samuel and Dabney “Voice” Morris. They are currently touring in support of their highly anticipated, forth-coming, yet untitled album.
If you enjoy Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, and the likes…this is a nice addition to the collection. Trust me, create a playlist, and you’ll see.

Glasser - Glad (Delorean Remix)
Glasser appeared on one of Urban Outfitter’s Compilations (lstn #2), and will have another track featured on the next one (lstn #6) that comes out tomorrow. Perhaps it’s this one? I don’t know, I just saw the artist name in passing while looking up Zaza and seeing their blog about the UO mixtape.
Aside from remixes, looks like Delorean has been working on their own material too.

Fever Ray - If I Had a Heart (Sparkletone Remix)
Still eerie, but with a beat. I like it.
Chicago-based DJ who doesn’t have a myspace? Props. Found out about Sparkletone through Fairtilizer. Check out his website. No fuss, just the music, all of which is available to freely download.
I guess the primary reason I mention Sparkletone is because he’s taken tracks I initially didn’t care for and has made me want to listen to them. When you can forget the original is when I call it a good remix. That includes this Fever Ray track and the Major Lazer track.

Blue Sky Black Death - Honestly
Blue Sky Black Death first caught my ear when I heard “They Came Around” off their first album, A Heap of Broken Images, on the Telepopmusik station via Pandora. Well, apparently this instrumental, electronic-based hip hop duo have expanded their repertoire, releasing an album called Slow Burning Lights in November 2008 which dives into a dark, indie, dream pop world by utilizing vocalist Yes Alexander of The Casual Lust, a band who I discovered on thesixtyone. Funny how the two worlds collide. Anyway, you can also catch an unreleased BSBD track called “Heart Attack” on Yes Alexander’s myspace.
By the way, BSBD’s previous instrumental album, Late Night Cinema, is a must listen. If you don’t mind interrupting song introductions and fade-in fade-out album reminders, check it out on imeem.

Phoenix - 1901 (sayCet remix)
I randomly decided to look up sayCet on hypem after discovering him through Fairtilizer a couple weeks ago and ended up finding some very nice recent mixes.
From myspace:
Saycet is the project of Pierre Lefeuvre, a french music composer hailing from Paris…Saycet’s first full-length has managed to capture the frailties of a lifetime. Both fleecy and tensed, elusive and introspective, the songs that compose One Day At Home sublimate melancholy and solitude. Saycet’s music is an invitation to daydreaming and would perfectly lend itself to the soundtrack of a contemplative walk.
Now joined by vocalist Phoene Somsavath who brought her delicate signature, Saycet embraces vivid arrangements and crafts a brand of experimental pop. With discrete vocal samples that breeze in and vanish, waltzing melodies, layered keyboards and detailed electronics, Saycet takes the listener on a timeless journey. The one-year-long collaboration has given birth to a second album to be released the forthcoming year.
Also, I really like the Panda Bear mix of “I’m Not”, which you can currently listen to and download on the music player to the right. Also, be sure to check out his original works too.
I posted the Phoenix track because I like their latest album. It’s short, but good.
