Leitbur releases new single “Heartsink” as cancer fundraiser
Sometimes everything gets a bit too real. Emotions shift, materialism becomes non-existent, and life is put into perspective. Jaron Widman, one half of the LA Leitbur duo, was producing a new album when he received his diagnosis. Bills piled up, but he stuck it out, and he’s here today, doing what he loves, making music… Continue reading Leitbur releases new single “Heartsink” as cancer fundraiser
New Letting Up Despite Great Faults: “Ride”
Since my last Letting Up Despite Great Faults post (you have to scroll down five seconds to find it), Neon is out, and we’ve got a brand new song, “Ride” to present off the album. The single has everything I’ve come to love about Letting Up, with relaxed vocals, a sunny vibe and retro synths.… Continue reading New Letting Up Despite Great Faults: “Ride”
New Letting Up Despite Great Faults: “Wrapped”
It’s taken me way too long to post the new Letting Up Despite Great Faults material, and for that I apologize. This crew has been one of my favorites over my blogging (and pre-blogging) years, in both personality and musicianship. I adore everything they put it out. Frankly, it’s hard not to. Not liking Letting… Continue reading New Letting Up Despite Great Faults: “Wrapped”
Andrew Rinehart: “Doin’ What We Have To Do (feat. Cheyenne Mize)”
For some strange reason, this new song from Andrew Rinehart (aka Andrew Sellers) was sent to my spam folder. I couldn’t think of a less-deserving track for that to happen to. Laden with heavy strings and Rinehart’s mellow, poignant vocals, “Doin’ What We Have To Do” should be a massively licensed single for film and/or… Continue reading Andrew Rinehart: “Doin’ What We Have To Do (feat. Cheyenne Mize)”

The songs below are sure to lift your spirits with their rich and… Continue reading Kan Wakan
[MP3] Imperial Mammoth: “Little Earthquakes”
I gotta admit something. I couldn’t post anything the last few days not because I was busy, but because I could not find a single new artist or piece of music I wanted to post about. So thank god Imperial Mammoth came my way with some new songs off their upcoming album Gold Confetti. This… Continue reading [MP3] Imperial Mammoth: “Little Earthquakes”
Colorful Electricity: The Naked and Famous
In 2011, New Zealand’s The Naked and Famous released their synth-pop debut Passive Me, Aggressive You; which included the sugary electro-pop anthem “Young Blood,” which hit the radio like a runaway train carrying a cargo of starburst choruses, metallic synths, and soaring vocals. With comparisons to early MGMT floating around the blogosphere (which wasn’t fair,… Continue reading Colorful Electricity: The Naked and Famous
holychild
I can get down to this holychild pizzazz; it’s the type of live music we need now and again. Hopefully it translates as well to the stage as it does to the recorded material — there is so much energy here it’s contagious. (But, man, does she need to be wearing a Lakers shirt?) holychild… Continue reading holychild
The Kate Boy Collective
The sheer scope of vision involved in creating and executing concept art requires an incubation process that in today’s music industry, is almost impossible to accomplish. While concept albums are churned out at a feverish pace (even John Mayer dabbles in the space; which should annoy you), a group or a solo artist that symbolizes… Continue reading The Kate Boy Collective
