Tame Impala - Eventually

Alex on September 02 2015

If you told me two years ago that Tame Impala would start to develop a Flaming Lips vibe I'd call you a bold faced liar. We all know Tame Impala is a top notch band but they really set the bar high with their latest album - Currents. How high is the bar set - you say? Sky high, my friend. Sky high. You couldn't reach that bar if you tried, unless you had some sort of sky high ladder - like one of those airplanes that simulates zero g. Or if you're from the future and have jet packs already, and if that's the case please email me.

The Weeknd - In The Night

Alex on August 25 2015

Come on, man. Your genetically engineered perfect music is irresistible and you know it. So is Abel Tesfaye a high school freshman generation's Michael Jackson? Do kids even know who Michael Jackson is these days? When I'm 65 will this be playing on an oldies channel? I have so many questions, the future both frightens and terrifies me.

Deep Sea Arcade - The Devil Won't Take You

Alex on August 23 2015

So let me get this straight.... -what you're saying is the devil will not take me away?

eLLe beLLe - Knock On The Light

Alex on August 21 2015

Psychpop at it's finest. Psychpop is a really odd word to write, it just looks like a jumble of consonants. Sort of sounds like a ligament, "I tore my psychpop dancing last night." Is anyone still reading this? This is why you visit the site, right? To read my totally incoherent thoughts?

The Yacolt Burn - Burning Bridges

Alex was right, these guys are amazing and no one has even heard of them. This young blood, LT Page, is pretty much killing it on multiple levels. Truly good music.

Raindeer - This is Rock N' Roll

Alex on August 18 2015

Just one of those tracks you listen to and say to yourself "fuck yea." and then you keep listening and you're like "fuck yea." and then when the songs over you're like "yea it is."

Wampoire - People of Earth

chris on August 18 2015

I was driving around today in a sweaty haze, and it seemed as if everything was moving in slow motion. If you really step back and observe the kooks of New York, it's quite a trip. The drug addicts, people talking to themselves, couples fighting in the street, chinese dude cutting weeds with a pair of scissors, kids playing in fire hydrants, Dominican guy with a huge grey afro cutting a guy in a wheelchair's beard with trimmers, Jehovah's Witnesses spreading the word in full suits during this heat wave... Come to think of it, a Summer heat wave in the city brings all the crazies out. This song embodies this feeling perfectly.

Salt Cathedral - Tease

Alex on August 13 2015

Well.. here it is. There's plenty to be done .. but isn't there always?

Lowell - I Love You Money

Alex on August 12 2015

Lowell coming correct with the proper Go Team! vibe. Over the past 8 years of finding tracks for lar I've found the common denominator for a solid banger is hand claps in quick succession. So there you have it folks.. the recipe for success(ion).

Sinkane x Peaking Lights - How We Be (DFA Dub Remix)

chris on August 12 2015

Let's finish this summer off strong ladies and gentlemen. Have you been to a lake? Have you been to the beach? Have you been to a waterslide? HUH!!! Have you!... No?... Then get after it for God's sake, and listen to this on the way, with your arm out the window slapping the drivers side door to the beat. Either that or fist pumping out of the sunroof. Both good.
