One Type of Dark Remix

 

Here is an interesting remix that Ginger and the Ghost did with TA-KU on “One Type of Dark”.  Ginger and the Ghost like to experiment with their music and they definitely did with this remix.  Parts of it I love and other parts I just went “interesting”.  April says she likes it all, much better than the original.  So there you have it.  Ginger and the Ghost’s schedule is below and if you are heading to SXSW check them out.

CHVRCHES “Recover” Music Video

Thanks to Wild Honey Pie for alerting everyone to CHVRCHES new music video “Recover” on YouTube.  It has a great Science Fiction flare to it and has an, what looks to me, update HAL in the video for 2001: A Space Odyssey.  This single uses the Synthesizer as its main instrument which fits well with the video.  They must have taken that into consideration when developing the music video.

Dawes Single “From My Window Seat”


The band Dawes will be playing at SXSW along with several other bands.  If you are in the area you will have some great music to listen to.  Below is a sample from their upcoming album Stories Don’t End, “From My Window Seat”.  When the lead singer of Dawes started sing my mind immediately flashed to Jackson Browne.  The way he sings is really reminiscent of Jackson Browne’s sound.  So if you know anybody that is a Jackson Browne fan, let them know about Dawes they might enjoy it.  One to consider adding to your collection when the album is released.  For more music go to http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/.

Joshua Radin “Beautiful Day” Single

 

JOSHUA RADIN
ANNOUNCES NEW SELF – RELEASED LP
WAX WINGS
COMING MAY 7, 2013
 “BEAUTIFUL DAY”
I just listened to “Beautiful Day” and really enjoyed it.  I enjoy the simplicity of the music.  The instruments were nice and clear, but they didn’t over power Joshua’s voice.  When the instruments overpower the artist voice I hate it.  But this was very crisp and clear.  The song itself was to me really up lifting.  If you get a chance check out Wax Wings I think it would be a nice album to pick up for your music collection.

Torres’ Debut Has a Good Sound

Mackenzie Scott’s (Torres) debut album is spotlighted with her song “Honey”.  I love Mackenzie’s voice, it is crisp and clear.  With “Honey” sounding like a personal song I would have used the drums, but rather than an electric guitar, I would have preferred an acoustic guitar so Mackenzie’s voice could be spotlighted that much more.  Definitely an album to consider for a growing music collection.  Thanks to Wild Honey Pie for the song below and check out more artists on their website (http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/):

Young Galaxy’s latest single “Fall For You”

Young Galaxy YOUNG GALAXY GETS GROOVY WITH FALL FOR YOU [STREAM]

Young Galaxy’s new album Ultramarine may not be out until April, but the band has given us a great new track to make the wait seem a little shorter. “Fall For You” is a welcomed new direction to the bands sound. Layered with a blanket of synth, island rhythms, and singer Catherine McCandless’ confident vocals, the song is more than a little charming.

Judging by the quality of both “Fall For You” and the albums first single “Pretty Boy”, it’s beginning to sound like Ultramarine will be the new album Young Galaxy fans have been hoping for.

http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/young-galaxy-gets-groovy-with-fall-for-you-stream/#more-43770


Stream “Fall For You” above and make sure to stay tuned for more off of Ultramarine, due out April 23rd on Paper Bag Records.

Ghost Loft & Twice As Nice Remix

 
RISING VISIONARY
GHOST LOFT
TEAMS UP WITH TWICE AS NICE
FOR REMIX OF BUZZED ABOUT SINGLE “SECONDS”
EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE VIA BLAH BLAH BLAH SCIENCE
 
 
 
“Seconds” Spent Three Consecutive Days On Hype Machine’s Popular Chart As #1
SINGLE & VIDEO FOR ORIGINAL TRACK PREMIERED
EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH PIGEONS AND PLANES
Ghost Loft is back this week with a REMIX of his buzzed about single “Seconds” from LA-based/Australian Born production duo, Twice As Nice. Blah Blah Blah Science exclusively premiered this killer track and Ghost Loft is offering it up for free download and/or stream.
Ghost Loft’s breathtaking single and video for the original track of “Seconds” premiered exclusively through Pigeons & Planes. The site raved about the track: “The production has a bounce to it, but it’s a dark bounce, and with the Burial-type vocals on the chorus, the track takes on a cold tone despite the handclaps and hummable melody. In 2013, there’s certainly a place for gloomy-but-catchy pop, and Ghost Loft is doing it right.”
 
“The slow and sensual r&b track with a hip-hop background rhythm is enhanced by directors Daniel Iglesias Jr & Zack Sekuler ‘Ends’ which I think capture quite effectively the soothing love relationship between Choi and his distant lover,” says Crack In The Road of the song and video.
“Seconds” is on the rise.  The single spent three consecutive days at #1 on Hype Machine’s Popular Charts.  In addition, tastemaker Mark Ronson included “Seconds” in his latest FABRICLIVE MIX.
LA-based Danny Choi, the visionary behind Ghost Lost has remixed for rising acts, The Neighbourhood (“Let It Go” remix featured on Pigeons & Planes) & Icky Blossoms (“Heat Lightning” remix featured on The Fader).
Ghost Lost will release his highly anticipated debut EP later this year.
