Eighteenth (NYC)

 

EUC (Brooklyn!)

I've been sitting on this for too long.  I'll blame it on the many many distractions here in London.  But, bringing it back home, here's the latest from Brooklyn's own EUC (Electric Umbilical Cord), off their brand spanking new The Prey EP.  Wes and Cory are my home boys, so give these two some love.  Even if they weren't their beats and new take on post punk is rather infectious.  Start dancing in the dark...

Sunvisor - Sky Dive

Why not post a song that sounds like weekend sunshine when it's 84 degrees out on a Saturday?  I'm about to take the pooch out for a long walk on the beach, and plan to rock nothing but short jean shorts, shades and a bucket of sunscreen.  This song will be playing on route from my spot to and from the sandy shores of the Pacific Ocean, windows down, loud enough for the neighbors to call the cops. 


Sunvisor is a brand new duo out of New York. "Sky Dive" is their first (perhaps only) release thus far, and it's a damn good start.  Blissed-out synths, drifting vocals, steady beats, subtle layers and happy vibes all make for a nice warm weather jam.   Looking forward to adding more of these dudes to my summer  rotation.

Sleigh Bells

I have to agree with Pitchfork:

"If you're half awake get ready to be wide awake. "Tell 'Em" is the first track from 2010's promising purveyors of all things loud and pop, Sleigh Bells. Fair warning: This thing will rumble your insides if played at high volumes, i.e. the more of those tiny boxes on your laptop screen are white, the better it sounds."
