Is it a fashion house? Is it a record label? Is it just an awesome source of the coolest music and clothes? Probably yes. The new preview for the upcoming Kitsune Maison 8 is verrrry promising and the first two tracks have been banging on repeat for a while now. We’re looking forward to hearing [...]

Vampire Weekend + Horchata
Horchata is the sweet, cinnamon-y rice drink that washes away the spiciest assault of carne asada and al pastor like a wave erases footprints from the sand. So how does this make it the title of the first song from Vampire Weekend’s upcoming album, Contra? I’m not sure. I just know that hearing new material [...]

Islands + “Vapours”
Nick Thorburn (nee Diamonds) and Islands are back at it again and I’ll be damned if this isn’t a major step forward for him and the band. Building from a funky little Caribbean shuffle into an inescapable hook and crescendo of horns, the title track is guaranteed to be the best two-and-a-half minutes of your [...]

Summer ’09s Greatest Hits (so far)
Maybe it’s the fact that our air conditioning unit is broken and my vision is getting blurry. Maybe it’s the fact that writing about summer jams has become so ubiquitous among us bloggers that the very idea of a summer jam actually finding success organically has become impossible. Still, even if we’ve only just started [...]

Vivian Girls + When I’m Gone
Picking up pretty much exactly where they left off, those precocious Vivian Girls have released the first song off their forthcoming album, Everything Goes Wrong. The galloping jaunt treads familiar lo-fi territory for the band, but hints at a bit of an expanded sound with an urgent authority and extended instrumental breakdown for the last [...]

Brendan Benson + “Feel Like Taking You Home”
Wow. Not sure how this one slipped under our radar, but it’s damn good to see that Brendan Benson is back doing his solo work. I guess we got used to the silence, after all it’s been four years since his last LP, the oh-so-delightful Alternative To Love came out and you can only listen [...]

Jay-Z + D.O.A. Death Of Autotune
From the forthcoming “Blueprint 3″ comes Jay-Z’s latest, and as he promised, it’s the killer of autotune. I’m not immediately falling in love with this song, but hey, at least Jay admits it’s not a number-one record on the second verse.

Vega + No Reasons
Ever since GVB posted Vega’s “No Reasons”, it’s been going round and round in our head like so many spins of the proverbial record player… or skateboard wheel. Now that the classy folks at Butter Team have made ‘No Reasons’ the unofficial theme song to Thrashin’ — the young Josh Brolin [...]

New Band Alert: Two Door Cinema Club
Like Phoenix meets Bloc Party (when they were still good), these Irishmen make guitar pop so sweet it could give you type 2 diabetes. We got our first whiff of Two Door Cinema Club on Kitsune Maison 7 where they’ve deservedly secured the mixtape’s opening track and have been listening to them ever since. [...]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs + Zero Video & MP3
Like Franz Ferdinand’s latest ‘Tonight,’ the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s find themselves exploring a more synth-focused sound on their new album ‘It’s Blitz.’ While this approach might be a little hit or miss, you can definitely Add ‘Zero’ to the early ballot for top song of 2009.
