Does It Offend You, Yeah? - We Are The Dead

New "Does It Offend You, Yeah?"! They show an indie charm for the first few seconds, but quickly sink into the electro stomp that we love them for. Watch the video for new song "We Are The Dead" here. If you feel like remixing it, everything you need is here.

Zola Jesus - Sea Talk


This a cleaned up version of the track that appeared on her 2009 EP, "Tsar Bomba". "Stridulum" really was a turning point for Ms.Jesus. Gone is the lo-fi production, welcome soaring gothic ballads. Download "Sea Talk" from her new album, "Stridulum II", here.

Egyptian Hip Hop - Middle Name Period


Egyptian Hip Hop aren't actually Egyptian, and they don't rap. Must say, cool name though! Their music is full of stabbing synths, and rhythmically it's all over the place. Imagine 808 State's younger sister, on E. They're impossible to categorize. Download their new song "Middle Name Period", which is going to be on their upcoming EP "Some Reptiles Grew Wings", here.

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs


After the dark, oppressive tones of "Neon Bible", Butler and co. return with something most unexpected - a pop album. At least, what a think a good modern pop album should sound like. Brave, emotive lyrics. Diverse instrumentation. Showing their influences, but looking forward all the time. The Suburbs is thought provoking, it demands attention from the listener. Tracks like "Empty Room" and "Month of May" are full of immediacy that drags the listener in, but are contrasted by grand, epic songs like "Ready to Start" and "Suburban Warfare" and minor-heavy tunes like "Rococo" and "Sprawl (Flatland). Quite simply, a must have album, powerful, intellectual and interesting. A classic in years to come.

Tracklisting:
1. The Suburbs
2. Ready to Start
3. Modern Man
4. Rococo
5. Empty Room
6. City with No Children
7. Half Light I
8. Half Light II (No Celebration)
9. Suburban War
10. Month of May
11. Wasted Hours
12. Deep Blue
13. We Used to Wait
14. Sprawl I (Flatland)
15. Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)
16. The Suburbs (Continued)

Rating: 8.9

Electricity In Our Homes - Hooves


Electricity In Our Homes keep pushing their sound. Tribal rhythms, artful repetition, they sound like the Fire Engines covering Can. In other words, their new EP, "We Agree Completely", is a complete winner in my books. Modern post-punk at it's best. Can't wait to hear more from these guys. Listen to and download "Hooves" here.
