Governors Ball doesn’t really feel like a festival. Maybe it’s the fact that none of the sets overlap, something that has it’s merits and issues, but most likely it’s the fact that for many of us, we go home at the end of the night. There’s no camping, no wild late-night partying (of course, they did have some wild after parties at Brooklyn Bowl), there’s your bed at the end of the [READ ON]

Matthew Philip Hines describes Austin, Texas as “a kind of velvet coffin”. A local musician who is no stranger to philosophy, classic literature and analysis of multi-modal communication (that’s right), his music is reflective of the complexities in his mind.
“Part of living in Austin and being a musician is trying to overcome this kind of automatic apathy,” he shares, “There’s just so much music [READ ON]

Seattle-based dream-pop duo Lemolo, Meagan Grandall (vocals, keys & guitar) and Kendra Cox (drums & keys), have spent the last year gigging and working on their debut album, The Kaleidoscope.

In preparation for the album, we’re encouraging you to follow Lemolo. The front page of their main site acts as a blog for them to post videos [READ ON]

San Francisco’s PreTeen are self-described as “four nice young men who, stocked with an armory of faded campfire melodies and questionable intentions, only want to help you be who you want to be.” They have a fairly mysterious web presence, so we’ll have to take their word for it! Though the band may be shrouded in mystery, one thing is certain, their music is filled with the lo-fi (sometimes melancholy) vocals, twangy, reverb [READ ON]

Let us introduce you to Oakland, CA group Trails and Ways (@trailsandways) and their debut single & video for sunny track “Nunca”. From the opening guitar melody to the first line “Show me your Sao Paolo,” we are treated to a local’s view of this Brazilian city — all boom boxes, roller blades and surfing. Get lost in this enchanting, sure-fire summer [READ ON]
In Our Heads sees Hot Chip (@hot_chip), dance music’s hippest squares, return once again with a new album of blended sounds and styles. This time around, though, there’s a lot more homage to vintage house music and retro pop.
I dont know about you, but for me, Hot Chip have always been a very intriguing, enigmatic act perched firmly on the fringe. Commercially, they do pretty well, but I would never call them a chart success, and their music is certainly left-field and rife with unorthodox ideas. There’s no denying, however, that they know how [READ ON]

Brooklyn based producer Rioux (@riouxsounds) (pronounced ree-yoo) is pretty much a musical genius. Although tracks on his Soundcloud are tagged as electronic, there are definitely strong hints of psychedelia and minimalism. Regardless, covering all ends of the electronic spectrum, Rioux has created music appropriate to both zone out or get down to. Zen at times, his songs can quickly turn into something more elaborate [READ ON]
The Mynabirds’ (@themynabirds) charged new album, Generals, makes it clear that lead singer Laura Burhenn is not one to be messed with. There’s an edge to her sultry vocals and an insistence to the repetition in her lyrics that makes these songs even bigger and better [READ ON]
