VIDEO // Foxes: “Beauty Queen”
May 16, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
Louisa Rose Allen, more known as Foxes, has been having a VERY LARGE year; She released some impressive pop nuggets in 2012. Both “Youth” and “White Coats” were on strong repeat in our office, and we ate up everything else she touched as well. Then, she hopped on lead vox of a song by Russian-German [...] Read More
Glitches: “Only Time Will Tell”
May 16, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
Our trust in music discovery is evenly distributed among Belgium’s disco naivete, New York City’s Neon Gold, and the UK’s The Line of Best Fit. All credit for this track from British trio Glitches goes to Jamal Guthrie over at The Line Of Best Fit. “Only Time Will Tell” is a festival-ready anthem, as Jamal [...] Read More
Ruen Brothers: “Walk Like A Man”
May 15, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
The last time we wrote about Ruen Brothers, they were on the verge of taking off with their song “Aces,” a chorus-heavy/festival-ready anthem that’s since catapulted on radio. Today, they return with their first proper single. “Walk Like A Man” just received its first spin on Radio 1, garnering the ever-impressive title of “Hottest Record [...] Read More
Josh Weller: “I Forgot To Tell You You’re Beautiful”
May 15, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
Singer/songwriter Josh Weller’s wit is one of the many genius things about him. Following him on Twitter or Vine is a trip in itself. He’s not just a humorous person with a strong social media presence, though – he’s an intellectual musician who has been providing some incredible (and clever) tunes for years now. His [...] Read More
Album of the Week: MS MR – “Secondhand Rapture”
May 14, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
The story of how we came to know and subsequently love New York City’s odd-pop duo MS MR is a bit strange and a script-ready coincidence. Last spring, I was living in New York City as a regional representative during the height of the KONY 2012 madness (y’all remember that?). When I wasn’t answering thousands of [...] Read More

VIDEO // MisterWives: “Lullaby”
May 9, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
New York City’s Mandy Lee has a voice that is probably the most malleable in the biz. She rocketed onto the blogosphere with her featured vocals on The Knocks‘s cover of M83′s “Midnight City.” We were lucky enough to see her jump on stage with them in Brooklyn last spring for a special live version [...] Read More
VIDEO // I will, I swear: “Long Days”
May 8, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
We featured this song on our Monday Mini Mixtape: aprilONE, and we had to give it proper love today with the release of the music video. The track by I will, I swear is brooding enough, but this video takes the sentiments to a whole other level of desolation. The images are taken from a [...] Read More
Album of the Week // Le Wrens: “Don’t Forget Me” – EP
May 7, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
We wrote about Seattle’s Le Wrens when they debuted their first music video for “Don’t Forget Me.” They’re a refreshing new offering in the folk scene, and the accompanying clip for the first single only makes us want to be best friends with them and make pies and go on hikes and cook vegan meals [...] Read More
VIDEO // Tom Odell – “Grow Old With Me” (Live for NOWNESS)
May 6, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
Tom Odell sat atop our list of artists we were excited for in 2013. We stand by that. The British piano man is preparing to release his debut studio record Long Way Down and is currently on a US tour in support of the album. He recently filmed a session with one of our favorite [...] Read More
