Monday Mini Mixtape: mayTHREE
May 20, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
[Invisible Children Music: We firmly believe that music has a necessary role in giving social movements tremendous amounts of momentum. It is a universal language, and at Invisible Children, it's important for us to be a part of that language.] It’s quite difficult to be at the office currently as we are overcome with sadness [...] Read More

May 17, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
Ghost Beach will be joining The Jane Doze and Noah Gundersen as special musical performers at the Fourth Estate Summit this August in Los Angeles. The duo from New York City, comprised of Josh Ocean and Eric “Doc” Mendelsohn, have built serious buzz based off their electro-pop singles and energetic live shows. We’ve been fans [...] Read More
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
