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
Noah Gundersen to play Fourth Estate Summit
May 9, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
Noah Gundersen is our first confirmed artist ambassador to the Fourth Estate Summit this August. Invisible Children would be nothing without talented musicians who keep us inspired to “fight the good fight,” as they say. Thus, an Invisible Children event would not happen without some incredible musical offerings. That’s where Seattle’s Noah Gundersen comes into [...] 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

The Knocks team up with St. Lucia. CHVRCHES turn MS MR’s “Hurricane” into a 80s mall anthem.

weekend01
May 3, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
Honestly, it’s getting very warm here in San Diego and I’m not sure if Alex Collins and I can handle it. Midwestern gentlemen, we are not fans of this heat. In an attempt to get over it, we threw together a mix of dancey tunes. It’s working pretty well for us, so far. weekend01 is [...] Read More
VIDEO // Amateur Best: “Pleased”
May 2, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
“Pleased” is sitting pridefully atop our “Songs of Summer 2013″ playlist. The jam comes courtesy of London DJ Joe Flory (going by Amateur Best), the guy seen in this video flexin’ around people in very odd costumes/outfits. He is also seen holding a dog, which is very cute and a smart decision to include in [...] Read More
