Another Fine Piece from Marie Davidson

maryLooking back, or listening back, at the buzz from SXSW, several of our friends consistently through Marie Davidson at us, hoping we could get a chance to check her out.  After spending quite a bit of time with her new album, Un Autre Voyage, I can definitely get behind the hype, so it’s only fair that I share her latest single.  While constructed largely as an unraveling electronic piece, her spoken vocals add an extra layer that makes the song impactful.  Don’t look for her to hit you over the head with throbbing beats, but rather let her guide you through the caverns of her work.  Holodeck Records releases the new album on April 14th.

Austin Spotlight: Jam the New Sleep Good Album

sleepytimeAs we reported last year, Sleep Good has been hard at work on his new effort, and it’s finally going to see the light of day.  It’s predominantly electronically infused ambient music, but don’t let that lead you in the wrong direction.  Just imagine Black Moth Super Rainbow early on, yet slowed down with subtle touches of accessibility for every listener.  Dream Dealer is the perfect listen to put on while you do work around the house or party in your friends backyard.  There’s so many delicate moments that will draw you in that you won’t want to skip towards the next song.  Here’s to your Friday and drifting through your day.

Dance House Banger from Anamanaguchi

anaA brand new Anamanaguchi track popped up this week, and it’s the perfect jam for a Friday morning, or a late Friday night.  It’s an electronic jam that’s reminiscent of when CSS was a really solid act, with playful vocal tracks bouncing over a hard-hitting dance beat.  It’s the kind of song you want on your playlist for all summer parties, so you can get things going in the right way from the start.  There’s no word on when the track will be released on an album, but you can definitely spend some enjoyable moments throwing down with it right now.  Give a listen.

New Track From Cosmicide

artworks-000061460986-u50v1n-t500x500Here’s an interesting new track called “Talos’ Corpse” coming your way from upstarts Cosmicide.  The band, started last year by Secret Machines member Brandon Curtis, have evolved to create this sort of electronica-pop sound with this shade of darkness bubbling up throughout their songs.  It creates some special moments that I hope you’ll enjoy on this teaser song.

No word yet on a full length LP, but the band plan on touring for the first time very soon.

Oddball Dance Jam from Phedre

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t always fall head over heels for predominantly electronic music; it has to do something really special (or just be completely out there) in order for me to get involved in it. This new track from Phedre definitely I really like the vocal sample used in the track, with it’s deep resonation.  It’s just enoug quirkiness to the construction here to keep me interested.  You can find this track and some others on the self-titled debut that is in stores all over the world as we speak.  Happy Friday folks!

Falcon Lake is Electronic Music (+ Free EP)

Curses! I’ve found myself in a real dreamy mood today, so I was actually rather pleased to hear this instrumental track from Bristol’s Leon Piers, who records under the moniker of Falcon Lake.  He just released his new Drown EP on Bad Panda, and while there are some more subtle tracks on the effort, I’ve found myself really falling in love with this track.  It’s definitely let me find myself drifting all day long, using its pulsing melody to draw me in again and again.  If this is your thing, then you should go HERE and pick up the Drown EP for FREE.
