Passion Pit leave their mark on Two Door Cinema Club’s “Undercover Martyn”. Two Door Cinema Club’s full-length debut album, Tourist History, was released today in the UK. The album will be available later this spring in the US on Kitsuné Music/Glassnote Records. Download the remix below:
A reader sent in this recording of Thom Yorke’s concert in Cambridge, where he played a whole bunch of new tunes. I’m crossing my fingers and hoping that they are new Radiohead songs, but everyone-else’s fingers are pointing to Thom Yorke’s silly new side-project (they’re all silly for the most part, aren’t they?), Atoms For Peace. Download the mp3s of Thom performing the three new tracks, “The Daily Mail”, “Give Up The Ghost” and “Mouse Dog Bird”:

Brooklyn’s remix artists turned legit dance mongers, Holy Ghost! are trading covers with English dance rockers Friendly Fires for an upcoming split 12″. Holy Ghost! takes on Friendly Fires’ “On Board” from the band’s self-titled XL Recordings debut. In an unlikely move, Holy Ghost! actually toned Friendly Fires’ “On Board” down a few notches, swerving away from their signature DFA-riddled sound, but still sounding very DFA, naturally.
Listen to the original “On Board”, then listen to Holy Ghost’s take on it below:

According to the Whales, this is the first time the band has ever recorded in a real studio, so it’s especially great that this experience has been documented.
What’s also great is how Freelance Whales switch up the arrangement for their debut single “Generator ^ Second Floor” (which you can download here, for free). What they were recording for is still a mystery to me. Maybe they where they retouching tracks on their self-released debut album for its re-release on Frenchkiss later this Spring. Or maybe they will be releasing an EP from these sessions. Or maybe they were just having fun, I don’t know.
Another bit of news: the release date for Freelance Whales’ Weathervanes has been moved back a month to April 13th (to give them time to retouch the tracks?). You can now pre-order the album now on CD or LP, and get a limited edition poster hand-signed by the band and an mp3 download immediately after check out, meaning you won’t have to wait until April to listen to the album on your iPod. Get to it.

I introduced you to electro-pop quartet, The Pass, last month, to a great response, something that’s always exciting when dealing with a brand new band. Now The Pass are offering up the title track from their Colors EP for you all to download.
“Colors”, instantly likable and kinetic, is cut from the same A-Grade cloth of indie pop that made Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix one of the late ’00s most memorable records. You can listen to and download “Colors” below, and make sure you also have the Pass’ debut single “Crosswalk Stereo”, which you can download for free right here.
You can now purchase The Pass’ Colors EP at iTunes, via sonaBLAST! Records.

The Raveonettes “Heart of Stone” takes the Danes’ customary ethereal, ghostly vocal harmonies and layers them over an echoey, twangy guitar line reminiscent of a western movie. It’s a sad song, but a fascinating one; intertwined vocals and a rhythm it’s easy to lose yourself in wrap you up from the first listen. “Heart of Stone” is like an endless highway, a black-and-white detective film – vaguely sinister but mostly transfixing.
The song’s music video is as dark, mysterious, and ornate as the song itself, with imagery akin to that dreamed up by Tim Burton – an animated Rube Goldberg machine of heartbreak. Watch it below, and catch “Heart of Stone” in our latest (and best, if I do say so myself) PMACAST. Continue reading →

Last week, She & Him stopped by the BBC and performed a life set that included this gorgeous little number. After gushing over the live version of “Thieves”, my good friends at Pop Librarian and Tsururadio pointed me to the wonderful studio recording.
It isn’t known if this recording of “Thieves” is the final version that we will be listening to on Volume Two, but it’s wholly satisfying nonetheless. Thanks to the newly revamped Stereogum, we now have the final MP3 version of the track, which you can download for free below, and fif you’re interested, you can still download Vol. Two first single “In The Sun” for free as well: Continue reading →
