video: Active Child - Hanging On
disconaivete:
Even though I’ve heard it countless times already, Active Child’s Hanging On still puts me on the top of my seat every single spin. Directed by Pier Pictures.
I just can’t keep hanging on To you and me I just don’t know what is wrong With you and me Touch me and then turn away Put your hands into the flame Tell me if you feel this pain ‘Cause I don’t want to be a ball...
WatchCloud Nothings - Attack on Memory
Tokyo Dreamer →
smokedontsmoke:
The long awaited album is finally hear. 17 year old Sunik Kim started making music a little less than a year ago, which makes his debut full-length Tokyo Dreamer, even more impressive.
I like where an album like Tokyo Dreamer fits in the long history and evolution of sampling music. It’s the execution of the continuing journey of what’s possible with sound. Filled with...
introducing: Litanic Mask
disconaivete:
Combine the hypnotic pop-sound of Grimes, Light Asylum’s fierce vocals and Zola Jesus’ love for goth and you’ve got Litanic Mask. This Portland-based duo hasn’t officialy released anything yet, but a bunch of demos are available on their Soundcloud and below for streaming. Recommended listening: in the dark, all by yourself. Pretty sure it will blow you away.
“Something happened in our press over the last 40 years or so that never got...”

Friends - Maida Vale Session
disconaivete:
Friends’ session at the Maida Vale studios aired last night on Huw Stephens’ show on BBC Radio 1; the Brooklyn alt-pop’ers played the almost irresisteble I’m His Girl and a brand new song titled A Thing Like This. They also mention the album is likely to drop this Spring, laugh at how Huw Stephens says “Europe” and talk a bit about Elton John. Stream the full session and...

wearehunted:
LCD Soundsystem are one of the greatest bands ever to perform on stage. This documentary not only highlights their final and most ambitious concert to date, but also forms an intimate portait around frontman James Murphy and his days leading up to it. Wow.
Charli XCX - Stay Away (Live From Dalston Heights)
disconaivete:
Watch Charli XCX perform her excellent Stay Away live from Dalston Heights. The original version of the song is fierce and dark, but this beat-less version emphasises the story behind the song.
Do you remember what I said That first time we met, Stay away, why couldn’t you stay away I never needed anyone But now that you are gone Stay away, won’t you just stay away
