New Music: Galantis – “Gold Dust”

19 Feb

If you know me, you know how much I dig Galantis and how excited I was to have them perform at Life is Beautiful in 2014. Since the festival the duo have skyrocketed with the popularity of “Runaway (U & I)” and are now back with another single with “Gold Dust.” Give a listen below and when you have a chance to see them, don’t miss out!

A day after releasing “Lifted Up (1985)” the first single off the upcoming album, Kindred, Passion Pit didn’t wait long to drop a second track with the debut of “Where The Sky Hangs.” Pre-ordering the album was made available today as well.

New Music Tuesday: Imagine Dragons, Steve Earle, Elle King, José González, Phosphorescent

17 Feb

What’s not to love about New Music Tuesday?! Today brings a whole heap of new music and much to be excited about. As a Las Vegan, it’s a big day as Imagine Dragons with the release of Smoke+Mirrors, the long anticipated follow-up to Night Visions. Crazy to think of just a handful of years ago seeing them perform in front of tiny crowds and now rocking to thousands. Also out today, I’m excited about a new one from Steve Earle with the release of Terraplane, one of my latest obsessions of the last year, Elle King, releases her debut album, Love Stuff, Jose Gonzalez returns with Vestiges & Claws and a live album to snatch up, PhosphorescentLive at the Music Hall.

New Music: Passion Pit – “Lifted Up (1985)”

16 Feb

One of the albums I’m most excited about in 2015 is Kindred from Passion Pit and today the band released the single “Lifted Up (1985).” As a follow-up to the acclaimed albums Gossamer and Manners, Kindred will be released on April 21 with heavy anticipation from starving fans.  Plus the band begins touring next month playing a handful of festivals and what I suspect will soon follow, an announcement for a summer/fall tour too.

10 Feb

New music Tuesday so why not put together a little playlist to help get you through your day and the month of February. I know I just put together my January 2015 playlist a couple weeks ago so between the two you should be good to go with some solid tunes for the full work day. This month brings new music from Alabama Shakes, Marina and The Diamonds, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Purity Ring; second and third singles from James Bay, Hozier and George Ezra; and hopefully I can introduce you to some new tunes from Twerps, Vetiver, Francisco The Man and more. Peace + Love + Music.
