Lower Dens put out a video for “Brains” this week, the first track from their upcoming release we posted last month. The skittering images are similar to the fidgety nature of the song, and seem to glue themselves to your subconscious as hypnotics lyrics like ”Everything will change while you’re asleep” poke through the lazily confrontational visuals. The [...]

To me, Burial’s music has always captured the idea of the loner. Cold, biting percussion cutting through bleak sonic atmospheres always painted a picture of an individual lost in a city with no knowledge of his or her existence. His use of vocal samples however, has always been the one humanizing element. The deeply soulful [...]

Finally, after months of repeated listens and frequent radio plays, one of 2011′s hottest singles and QM’s favorite songs gets a video. “Niggas in Paris,” which HOVA and Weezy notoriously played up to 10 times during last year’s Watch The Throne tour, is a momentous proclamation of narcissism and excessiveness. The video matches that. Packed with seizure-inducing [...]

I want to start off by apologizing to everyone on the east coast. Right now in January, a time most would consider winter, we have the luxury of hiking in shorts, driving with the top down, surfing if able, and BBQ’ing like school’s out for the next 3 months. Perhaps we can credit global warming [...]

It’s hard to tell if “Big Broom” is good or evil. Opening with that biting bass line and smeared guitars followed by whimsically haunting vocals, one is quick to say “Big Broom” is up to no good. However about half-way through comes the angelic group harmonies of the band, and the clouds open up- “Big Broom” is [...]

Had we been around for the time of Warhol’s Factory, I could easily see LA natives Mini Mansions, trading slots with The VU. It’s a tough task to seamlessly merge psychedelia with dance-pop, but Mini Mansions do just that. In fact, take one listen to “Monk” and imagine girls with bobs and mini-dresses, sipping martini’s and [...]

JeromeD.com’s new video for the Habits & Contradictions standout track “Hands On The Wheel” just convinced me that the greatest thing to ever come out of Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness” is this party starting, trouble stirring, peer pressuring jam.

So, Lana Del Rey’s proclaimed fandom may not be the best cultural signifier to rap fans for a group heavily reliant on style with limited output. That’s not a controllable for Brooklyn’s Flatbush Zombies though. In the mean time, the group has released the video to their imminently catchy single “Thug Waffle”. Produced by ErickArcElliott, [...]

Last year, Seattle’s Nacho Picasso gave away his dark, funny and somewhat nerdy debut For The Glory. Haunted by his father’s passing and informed by his obsession with tattoos and comic books, For the Glory at its worst was a solid debut from a guy overly dependent on punchlines, and at its best it was [...]
