Ellie Goulding – Starry Eyed
Because Electrorash will never tire of Miss Goulding and her increasingly bouncy hair, here are the latest offerings ahead of the release of Starry Eyed on February 22nd by Polydor. What’s great about this single being released now, almost a year after the demo first hit the blogs, is you get to fall in love [...]
Screendeath & Hidden Cat
(I’ve been looking for an excuse to use that picture.) If you like your music unashamedly dramatic, you have something in common with UK’s Screendeath. His remix of Andy Caldwell’s autotune-heavy Scream is a sprawling masterpiece of piano-driven house featuring an impressive intro that teams pulse-racing piano loops and heartbreaking orchestral effects. The vocals kick [...]
Cassette Kids ‘Lying Around’ – Diamond Cut Remix
Just try to stop this track from burrowing into your head and settling on repeat. As part of the lead-up to the Cassette Kids’ long-coming debut album, Nothing On TV, fellow Aussie, Diamond Cut, has been kept busy with the remixing obligations, the most recent of which is the first official single, Lying Around. It [...]
Battle of the Neon Gold Girls
My two favourite female vocalists right now, Ellie Goulding and Marina & the Diamonds have both released clips for their upcoming singles this week and they couldn’t be less similar. First up is the noticeably slimmed-down Marina’s bizarre clip for the revamped version of Mowgli’s Road, which will be released by Atlantic Records on November [...]
Ellie Goulding – Under the Sheets
Oh Ellie. If all pop music was like this, we’d all have to find something else to complain about. She’s got one of the most fascinating voices I’ve heard in such long time, it’s sweet as can be but there’s just so much muscle to it. Under the Sheets is the latest Ellie Goulding track [...]
Miike Snow – Black and Blue Remixed
The first of several posts I should have done blog-months ago but never got the chance, so I’m doing it now. One of my favourite tracks from Miike Snow’s self-titled debut, “Black and Blue” blends beautifully together those addictive vocals, charming piano stabs and Wyatt’s signature lyrics that he works so hard to place in [...]
Greg Acid Girls Mix: Live From the Celestial Megaclub Green Room
This mix is as surprising as it is seamless, which is something of an Acid Girls trademark. They are the masters of unpredictible song selection. This plus ginger snaps plus peppermint tea is helping me through a sleepless night attending to homework. Live From the Celestial Megaclub Green Room: Bill Callahan – All Thoughts Are [...]
T.E.D.D.
The T.E.D.D. boys have been busy since we last visited them, having just finished their remix of Last Japan’s ‘Jungle Warriors,’ the feature track from his upcoming EP. The new darlings of Kissy Sell Out’s show on Radio 1, this London pair are scattering their endlessly face-melting wares abroad, theirs a kind of hard-as-nails version [...]
HEALTH ‘Die Slow’
Despite being quietly obsessed with them, I’ve refrained from saying anything here about the new HEALTH album because I’m afraid that if I do I won’t say enough. But suffice to say the whole thing is like having your brain turned inside out by machines, flushed clean by virgins, and then folded back into place [...]
Dmerit – Stuck on You
Washington school teacher duo, Micah Vellian and Outputmessage – or Dmerit as they’re known collectively – are back with their brand new EP, ‘Stuck on You,’ and it’s an all-out cheery gambol through the realms of classic disco funk and surging 80′s synth-pop. Everything about this is just so easily likable, it rolls over the [...]
The Nextdoor Neighbors
I’ve been obsessing over Olympia/Seattle-based outfit, The Nextdoor Neighbors, so hard since discovering them a few weeks ago. Ridiculously endearing, this offbeat electro folk/pop duo released their debut album, Magic Vs the Machine, on Bicycle Records late last year, and it’s quite an impish little affair. With Kathy Cotes on keys and Jessie Hill on [...]
Friendly Fires – Kiss of Life
What better way to showcase Ed MacFarlane’s notoriously ill-fitting jeans and hit-and-miss dance moves than to have them star in the clip for Friendly Fires’ upcoming new single, Kiss of Life. Set to be released on the 31st August by XL, Kiss of Life is the perfect teaser for their Paul Epworth-produced sophomore album, which [...]
Visitor – Los Feeling
Formerly Cobra Dukes, then formerly What She Wants, UK’s Visitor are giving us the first glimpse of their brand new Diamond Cut-produced material with the cosmically-charged Los Feeling. It’s a terribly pretty, stirring voyage into the realm of shimmery stadium pop, and it’s of course had the labels scratching feverishly at their door for more. [...]
Kingdom – Mind Reader feat. Shyvonne (CFCF Remix)
