Little Dragon in Australia

This is a specific post to my fave duo Pierre and DJ Lil Stel in Londontown. I thought you two would enjoy this footage. This is Yukimi and her band mates on tour last month in Australia.

FUR

Following up on my last post about strolls through beautiful places (please define beautiful however you choose, as it is a subjective concept), this track by Fur fits the bill.  It's a glass of red wine for your eardrums.

Smooth jams for a smooth day.  My walk along the canal was made that much more cinematic with this dreamy pop song as my soundtrack.  The brick and steel scenery of East London seemed that much prettier.

Video Killed the Radio Star

The 'Just An Illusion' video by Imagination is the most absurd thing I've seen this year.

Happy Throw Up Thursdays!

Dreams

Next time you take a road trip along the coast of Portugal, bring these tracks along for the ride.  Dreams are from Portugal and are set to release their Forgotten Thoughts EP any day now.  These fuzzy, mellow, beat driven pop tracks are off that album.  Kick back and enjoy the ride...

Toro Y Moi - Still Sound

Toro y Moi, should release their second album early this year. The album, Underneath The Pine, had originally planned to release both last year. And this one, unlike Causers Of This features all live instrumentation and no samples. Check out their new single "Still Sound."

Also, I had the opportunity to see Toro y Moi when they were in San Francisco with Nosaj Thing. Both groups ripped along with a great lights show from LA born Fair Enough. If you get a chance to see, don't miss it.

oOoOO - NoSummr4u

While this track pre-dates the more recent oOoOO songs I posted earlier this year, it is too good to keep (in)boxed up.  Longing for a time and place just out of reach, 'NoSumer4u'leads us towards a cliff shrouded into the mist.

Patrick Wolf

Though from just last year, this track has a timeless quality about it.  Its as if you were choosing the soundtrack to your own life story, this song would fit in at one point in all of our lives.  Emotional, inspirational, reflective & vulnerable.

Sky Ferreira

 

Pop music for twenty eleven.  Sky Ferreira was born in the 90's.  My goodness.

'One' is the UK single and 'Obsession' is the US single, both released last year.  Her new album is dropping any minute. 

Sky Ferreira - One
