The XX - Night Time (Synkro Remix)


All remixes of The XX have been consistently great. The most recent one to surface by the Manchester producer Synkro has a bit of a house edge and definitely that Northwest UK ambient sound. The original Night Time is a moving piece by itself. Throwing some electronic drums over the track, yet maintaining The XX's reverb guitar and Romy's soft and smooth vocals, Synkro delivers a a solid piece of work.

Instantly loved the girl wonder that is Grimes' new track Oblivion, off the highly anticipated Visions LP (due out January 31, 2012 on ARBUTUS). Just some perfectly played synths on the track with crisp soft vocals, not much more to say. Emphasis on the perfect synths.

COOLRUNNINGS - The Fool (Video)


The Fool is a nice little new single from COOLRUNNINGS. Its a different sound than we are used to hearing from the indie band, but we commend them for taking on a new sound. More importantly, the post-rock 80s sound works well. We dig it. The video features clips of Andy Warhol's The Exploding Plastic Inevitable. Download The Fool directly from the COOLRUNNINGS bandcamp page.
