“Ibifornia” is the title track from Cassius’ first album in ten years, which will be released on June 24th; Ibifornia is an imaginary utopia that they have created on the album with lush, tropical melodies. A place “where the sun rises high and the horses run free,” as the song’s narrator says.

Her best song since her second album, in my opinion. Just incredible. This is classic Roisin, not the club-focused Roisin we’ve been getting in recent years. Taken from her forthcoming album Take Her Up To Monto out July 8th.

interview by Michael McCarthy If you’re a fan of delicious indie pop then you should definitely read the following interview with Chase DeMaster, who sometimes goes by children of pop (he doesn’t capitalize it), such as on his new album: children of pop: What Does 69 Mean? It’s one hell of a catchy record, throwing…

Have I mentioned how happy I am that Kerli is making electro-pop again? Her dance music was great, sure, but her lyrics and voice fit electronic soundscapes better than club beats. At least that’s my opinion.

Like many Silverchair fans, I still haven’t gotten used to the fact that frontman Daniel Johns put out an R&B/neo-soul album (last year’s Talk). That said, he lends his vocals to Slumberjack’s latest, “Open Fire,” and it’s a contagious ball of wonderful, which also happens to be in the R&B/neo-soul vein, albeit with some dubstep…

Our readers in the U.S. might not have heard of Norwegian singer/songwriter Bellman yet, but in some parts of the world he is a very big deal. He released his critically acclaimed debut album, Mainly Mute, in 2009 and had his first big hit single with an uplifting song called, “Spaceship Move Slow” and it’s…

Back on March 10th, I named newcomer Mavrick’s song “Funeral” our #songoftheday and here we are three weeks later and I’m still listening to it every day. It’s such a massive and addictive song that all it takes is one listen to get you hooked. From its boisterous beats to his emotive vocals to the…

Project Skyward is the musical name Los Angeles resident Ryan Field goes by. He’s a holistic science/astronomy graduate, which say a lot about his songwriting perspective, which is both unique and a blend of several genres, including ambient, electronic, shoegaze, and new age and I dare say nobody combines these different musical styles as well…

Interview by Michael McCarthy Sweden’s Adiam makes delicous, dark pop that splits the difference between Lykki Li and Marina and The Diamonds, having the starkness of the former and the insanely catchy beats of the latter. Or perhaps she’s better described as Fiona Apple meets Little Boots, melding Fiona’s tormented and vengeful lyrics with Boots’…

Later this year Boston born Adam Jensen will release an EP and I’m very excited about it after hearing his just released, red hot single, “Sandcastles.” It’s a pristine blend of thought-provoking alt pop and serious electro that packs gentle acoustic guitars with sonorous beats that stomp all over you, resulting in one uber-catchy tune.
