EMix! Radio New Music for Sep. 19, 2013

Air Schedule: 5:00am – 5:00pm (US Eastern)

The music is a little more mellow/calm easy on the senses.  Mostly SFW.  Great for the headphones while you work or while enjoying a rainy afternoon.  Think The xx, London Grammar and Lorde.

Air Schedule: 5:00pm – 5:00am (US Eastern)

The pace picks up ever so slightly.  Not so much that daytime listeners will be turned off, just enough to keep things interesting.  Think Telekinesis, Cold War Kids and SVIIB.

  • Darkside – “Paper Trails”
    Darkside is the great downtempo electronic producer Nicolas Jaar’s duo with the guitarist Dave Harrington, and they’ll release the new album Psychic next month. We’ve already heard the album’s 11-minute opener “Golden Arrow,” and now they’ve shared another of the album’s tracks. The lightly percolating, weirdly bluesy “Paper Trails” sounds like what might happen if Matthew Dear tried to become Chris Isaak. It is a fascinating and intricately designed piece of music, and you can hear it below.

  • Honeyblood – “Bud”
    Taking inspiration from bands like Rilo Kiley and musicians like Loretta Lynn (with a contemporary callout to Zooey Deschanel’s treacly singing with She & Him), Glasgow’s Honeyblood are a standout among direct song-to-heart artists. Their debut single, a cloying and sweet “Bud”, is endearing in its two-piece command, and with production from Palma Violets’ Rory Attwell, the spaces that need filling get filled with jangly guitars and heavy-emphasized tom beats. The chorus reaches shout-along pinnacles above and beyond the cloudy sky, and there’s no doubt a live show from the Scottish duo would be as exciting and heart-stopping as the song itself conveys through tonal pleasantry.

  • Lolawolf – “Drive”
    “I could stare out your window and fuck you tonight,” Zoë Kravitz casually suggests on her band Lolawolf’s new surging electronic pop song “Drive”. But, you know, here’s the thing: She needs a ride to your house first! Thanks to warm, throbbing production from Pretty Good Dance Moves’ Jimmy Giannopoulos– James Levy and Raviv Ullman round out the group– Lolawolf’s single strikes the balance of Chromatics’ bleary synth-driven brightness and Lana Del Rey’s detached-yet-dramatized longing. You can basically see the headlights on the highway; it’s vivid shit, a completely logical first selection to your latest starry-eyed, late night Pandora station.

  • Windbreaker – “I Can’t Believe That You’re Gone”
    This is a song about loss. A song to your loved ones that they’re gone. Literally and metaphorically. In the case of Darin Thomson it’s about losing your best friend out of nowhere, the story where you can read it over here. But this compelling need led Darin to the artful project of Windbreaker and from there to this funky little post punk masterpiece. The pain in his voice balances between the groovy guitars and the ’90s diy philosophy of Girls Against Boys! An intimate pop song that aims straight to your heart and find its target with no collateral damage!

  • Korallreven – “Try Anything Once (with Cornelius)”
    Korallreven (Marcus Joons and Daniel Tjäder of The Radio Dept) returns with new single ‘Try Anything Once,’ one of their catchiest moments to date. The single is rich in texture thanks to Japanese legend Corneliuson background vocals and a Swedish gospel choir that enters at the 3:00 mark. Throughout the song, the baggy, blissful sound of the debut album is recognizable, but a window to something new made clear.    ‘Try Anything Once’ is the first new material from Korallreven since their debut album, An Album by Korallreven, on Acéphale in fall 2011. The album received high marks for its paradisean mix of dancehall, church choirs and Houston hip-hop. Hits such as ‘As Young As Yesterday’ (featuring Taken By Trees’ Victoria Bergsman and ‘Sa Sa Samoa’ (featuring Julianna Barwick) were some of the most blogged about singles of the season. Following which, the Swedes played stages across North America and Europe.- Review Credits:  ContactMusic.com


  • Scavenger Hunt – “California Waiting (Kings of Leon Cover)”
    Los Angeles’ Scavenger Hunt make their live debut tonight at Blind Date and just in the nick of time have teased us with a second piece of recorded gold. This Kings Of Leon cover leaves Nashville behind, heading straight to coast at sunset. Definitely looking forward to seeing this live tonight!

  • Temples – “Ankh”
    Leading the pack in the world of psychedelic-rock is the the Midlands, UK based group Temples who we have seen on HD many times before. If you happen to catch their latest single, “Colours To Life” and copped the single, you will of already heard “Ankh”; as it’s the b-side. If you haven’t heard the single because you don’t live in the UK, now’s your chance to hear it.  Hopefully we get a debut album and a worldwide tour from these dudes soon, because we expect big things.

  • Bonson Berner – “Running Days”
    The music of singer-guitarist Lisandro “Pato” Aloi is getting a new life in another hemisphere. The native of Argentina, who formerly played in Siga la flecha and the Panvisual Orientation System, embarked on his new project Bonson Berner a couple of years ago, recording an album in Argentina and at New Monkey Studios in Los Angeles. That album, titled “How Can I Be an Immigrant If I’m in My Planet,” never got a proper United States release until this week — it’s now resequenced, tweaked and titled “Passport,” and it displays the art-rock sensibilities of Aloi, synth player Diego Cuevas, bassist Gustavo Limon and drummer Blair Shotts. Now based in Los Angeles, Bonson Berner’s electro-charged rock bridges the gap between indie-rockers like the National and another well-known band with Argentine bloodlines, Diego Garcia’s Elefant. The first single “Running Days” is as urgent as it is concise.

  • Keep Shelly In Athens – “Higher”
    Greek duo Keep Shelley in Athens (a play on the district Kypseli, in Athens) have slowly burned up to this point, with a couple of EP’s warmly received over the past couple of years now leading us to this debut release, where the blogosphere buzz ends and they become a fully functioning act of high reputation.  Bunching them in with the chillwave set is to do them a disservice; they do share similar aesthetics – the smoky vibes, minimal dubstep infused beats, washes of atmospheric synths and complex electronic – but beneath the complex studio production, there lies a beating pop heart.

  • The Fire Tapes – “Skull & Bones”
    When Emmylou Harris fronted Sonic Youth in a parallel universe, whispers of that sound slipped through to this world, and the essence of The Fire Tapes was born. Playing innovative and experimental sets often around Charlottesville, Richmond, and DC, the band caught the attention of quite a few bloggers and audiophiles. Released in 2011, their debut album Dream Travel was met with promising reviews, and The Fire Tapes found themselves with a supportive fan base clamoring for more.With their forthcoming album Phantoms, to be released September 17th, the band continues to experiment with sonic textures and sprawling noise in the tradition of The Velvet Underground, while still pushing the envelope and blurring the lines of conventional genres, much in the vein of Brian Wilson or Gram Parsons.

  • Psapp – “Everything Belongs to the Sun”
    London duo Psapp (aka Galia Durant and Carim Clasmann) are back with a new track after almost five years since the release of their last album ‘The Camel’s Back’ in 2008. They have been said to have created “toytronica” – a blend of electronica and whatever toy/makeshift instruments (whistles, mini guitars, flutes, a chicken) they can lay their hands on. This desire to not just make music traditionally but to create sounds out of non-traditional musical items is what brought Galia and Carim together when they formed Psapp 12 years ago.The song, E’verything Belongs To The Sun’, is a tropically charged scorcher of handclaps and equatorial percussion, beset with vocals in the form of enigmatic, mirage-inducing mantras and a wordless chorus of richly layered voices, almost like the cooing of exotic animals. Towards the end something squeaks, a ukelele is plucked and a baby gurgles; Psapp are certainly not afraid of using some really offbeat ingredients in their creation of catchy, danceable tunes.

  • Glasser – “Design”
    The singles from Glasser’s forthcoming LP Interiors (out October 8 via True Panther) demonstrate Cameron Mesirow’s penchant for oblique aesthetic descriptors: there was the pulsing crooner “Shape”, and latest single “Design” takes the guise of a lounge ballad with filigreed sleekness. On “Design”, Mesirow navigates swirling bouts of harmony and warm, bouncing synth bits, as the song’s illustrative hooks and the ricocheting tempo and deep bass wobble that accompany them showcase Glasser’s capacity for roiling metaphor.
