Visual art above by Patrick Kramer [via] “Jigoku Tengoku”, which means “hell or heaven” in Japanese, is a promise from one lover to another that he’ll follow them anywhere to be with them. Heaven and hell are also the two extremes he’s putting his partner through – “this time”, “believe me”, empty promises. TWINKIDS flesh […]

Visual art above by Dolly Faibyshev [via] Ross From Friends brings us a delightedly demented cut of lo-fi house via the always future-minded LA collective Brainfeeder.

The cooed vocals are perfect for either shrugging off the cares of the day or giving you the strength to face them. Even better, the […]

Visual art above by Alan Fears [via] I’m loving this wave of modern funk/future-funk music coming out lately, and “Talk” definitely rises to the top of the pile. Tim’s soft, warm, welcoming vocals play extremely well over the funky, occasionally tropical sounding beat. This song is playing beach volleyball as the sun slowly goes down, […]

Visual art above by Chiara Dal Maso [via] Sometimes you need a dose of bombastic, in your face indie pop; “Hey You” delivers in spades. Tasteful use of synths let the track border on synth-pop, but honestly, it’s more complex than that. Like a dancier Andrew McMahon, Motherhood confidently provides the soundtrack for your weekend, […]
