The Go Round “Angela” [SOTD]
I have to admit, I am a little impartial to this song being that it and I share a name. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I spent the horrifying years of my childhood being followed around by bad renditions of The Rolling Stones’ “Angie.” While The Go Round is nothing like and will never be The Rolling Stones, [...]

Big Harp “Everybody Pays” [SOTD]
Big Harp are yet another adorable indie rock husband and wife team, but notably err on the side of folky country rather than abstract indie music. The blend of indie feel with country spirit and unbridled saloon-drawling blues produce a Dylan-esque purity that has been unrivaled by many in a long time.

Kreayshawn “Gucci Gucci” (SpekrFreks Remix) [Exclusive Premier]
“Gucci Gucci, Louis Louis, Fendi Fendi, Prada/ The basic bitches wear that shit, so I don’t even bother,” is basically SF Critic’s mantra. Dap! Dap! Respect to Kreayshawn, even if she did gain Kardashian-esque publicity for the NSFW photos. So it’s our pleasure, in some ways, to leak via Thrillcall blog this SpekrFreks remix of the track we [...]

Corduroi “Crustacean” [SOTD]
Corduroi’s breed of childhood-nostalgic electro-pop has the potential to ride the over-played coattails of MGMT but steers clear of the “in the sandbox diggin’ up worms” cheese and instead opts to blend the tape-cassete era synthetic beats with new wave sampling for a “just listen and understand” 21st-century clarity. Texas native Corduroi, aka Cody Wilson, “took the name [...]

Rostam Batmangli “Wood” [SOTD]
While enjoying your morning coffee, “Wood,” is a festive track to get your day off right by Rostam Batmangli, one half of Vampire Weekend and Discovery. The soft drumming with Rostam’s nonchalant singing is so, so warm that as he sings “sunlight on your back” imagine yourself in an open field, and let yourself drift into dreams. BAM! [...]

[SOTD] The Rosebuds “The Woods”
“The Woods” is an escalating, soul-thumping fresh-sounding track that is cathartic in desperation and honest enough to just yell “Oh Good God!” Its running, frenetic pace is brought in by the organization of the melody and synchronization of noise. Fantastic and wonderful. Download Mp3: The Roseboods “The Woods” [Audio clip: view full post to listen]

[SOTD] InfinitiRock – “Chinese Elephants f/ Nick Lattanzi”
While travelling in Boston this summer, I stumbled into a college-bar full of rave kids and ended up having a great conversation with a maven of local music. We talked for some time before he packaged up a few CDs for me to take back home and listen to. Among them was New England native InfinitiRock’s debut EP “Apeirophobia,” [...]

Pollyn ft. Freddie Gibbs [SOTD]
Pollyn is an LA three piece band that defines their style as difficult to define. Yes, they are one of those bands. But upon a closer look, their guest list on their remix EP Shake Out The Other Way affirms this genre-less style with artists like Freddie Gibbs, Nosaj Thing, and James Pants. For those unfamiliar, that’s a [...]

[SOTD] Mr. Little Jeans – “Rescue Song”
I first heard and fell in love with Mr. Little Jeans (who is actually one Norwegian London-based artist and woman, Monica Birkenes) when stumbling upon her cover of Arcade Fire’s title track, “The Suburbs.” It’s no secret I love Arcade Fire, and I of course thought this album was impeccable rock concept album perfection, yet somehow Mr. Little [...]
