  1. “Better Off Without You” – Summer Camp

    August 31, 2011 by Steph

    My first impression of Summer Camp left something to be desired. It was on The Rumble Tour in LA and amidst a whole host of technical problems the hipsters’ still managed to gawk and awh at this buzz-drenched Brit band.

    Upon reconsidering my opinion and then falling in love with the track “I Want You,” I am now completely excited for their debut full-length Welcome To Condale. It’ll be out on November 8th via Summer Camp’s Apricot Records (an imprint of Moshi Moshi). The track below “Better Off Without You” will be officially out on September 13th, but you can listen now below.

    Whether it compares with the numerous other “Better Off Without You”s? (Jarrod Gorbell, The Clarks, Emmylou Harris, Zornik,…) Leave it in the comments.

  2. Marina and the Diamonds video for “Radioactive”

    August 26, 2011 by Steph

    This video is for newest single “Radioactive” from Marina and the Diamond’s upcoming 2012 LP. The track, a big “club-ier” than those previously, splits the scenes between a desert, a city at night, and a hotel room. All around, it’s certainly pretty white-hot.

    “Introduced to a glittering new nightlife, I fell in love with New York; it has this magic, fizzing white energy that no other city in the world has,” she said of that “Radioactive” day. “I felt happy and was inspired to write a song that felt light and euphoric, a more streamlined, minimalistic style of songwriting.”


  3. Slow Club Listening Party on Turntable.fm

    July 25, 2011 by Steph

    If your as big of a fan of this British folk pop duo as I am, you’ll be thrilled to hear that on Turntable.fm Tomorrow at 11 am PST they will be debuting tracks from their upcoming album Paradise (Moshi Moshi Records) in the Paste Magazine Room. Their debut full-length Yeah, So came out in March of last year and was easily one of my top favorite records of the year. With a sweet sense of folky nostalgia, gorgeous guy/girl harmonies, and bittersweet lyrics, Yeah, So is completely captivating. Paradise will be out on September 13th so here’s to hoping that Slow Club’s sophomore release will continue my love affair. See you on turntable.fm tomorrow!

    As of tomorrow, the single from the record “Two Cousins” (video below) will be available to buy on iTunes.
