MAGIC KIDS - MEMPHIS

noreply@blogger.com (Stereotype) — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:18:00 +0000

One of the most awaited albums of the last half of the year is "Memphis" by Magic Kids, and it's made of lush orchestrations, fantastic melodies and all around infectious, heart stirring catchiness with comfort.

They say it's so good to be, and they just might happen to be telling exactly how it feels.

You can listen to "Memphis" by Magic Kids as a full album stream below or with Spotify.

UPDATE:
The group just put out their video for "Superball", and it just might be something of a geekiest video ever, so there you go.

SUFJAN STEVENS - ALL DELIGHTED PEOPLE

noreply@blogger.com (Stereotype) — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 11:56:00 +0000

Sufjan Stevens has a surprise for us all - a whole new record in the name of "All Delighted People EP". He calls it an EP but it's 60 minutes long, so we might as well call it a new album for what it is. And boy, it is gorgeous.

The record begins with the biggest sound and the biggest feelings Mr. Stevens has ever released on a record and continues to kind of pick up the pieces left. It's made of somewhat an apocalyptic feel, in a somewhat heavenly way.

The whole EP is out for listen below and out there to buy for only $5.

NIGHTLANDS - FORGET THE MANTRA

noreply@blogger.com (Stereotype) — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 18:52:00 +0000

"Forget the Mantra" by Nightlands might be one of the definite surprise records of the year.

It's an all around amazing, delicate piece made of endless harmony and rich textures plus one gorgeous Beach Boys cover. It's made of sparkly daytimes, sunrises and those quiet later hours of the night and it creates a strong, daydreamy feel of being somewhere else.

It's like a vast ocean and you can just see Brian Wilson giving a big smile on this one.

Catch a wave with "Forget the Mantra" by Nightlands below.

noreply@blogger.com (Stereotype) — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 12:21:00 +0000

Lord Huron hails from Los Angeles and has a grand three piece single "Into the Sun" out that is a lush, rich tropical dream hushing timelessness with sincerity and fantastic story telling.

ARCADE FIRE - THE SUBURBS FULL ALBUM STREAM

noreply@blogger.com (Stereotype) — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 12:47:00 +0000

The most awaited album of the year is by far "The Suburbs" by the recent, grandiose Helsinki visitors, the Arcade Fire.

The group caught the world by surprise with their 2004 album "Funeral" which became one of the definite albums of the last decade. Of course the follow-up had to be a bit of a disappointment, and although "Neon Bible" is definitely far from a bad album, it's nowhere near the previous establishment.

The group played for a crowd of 4000 on a beautiful summer evening at the Senate Square in the midst of the empire Helsinki, surrounded by Carl Ludvig Engel's architecture and in the front of the Helsinki Cathedral just after the Summer Solstice festivities a month ago.

"The Suburbs" feels light, sincere and somehow very natural and is made of a full scale of honest feelings. It's a classy effort adorned with will and spirit in the simplest and the most mundane way the group has yet to present themselves.

The album will be released August 4 and you can now take a load off your feet with Arcade Fire and listen to the "The Suburbs" as a full album stream below.

DEATH IN PLAINS - LIFE IN THE WOODS

noreply@blogger.com (Stereotype) — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 12:04:00 +0000

Things we feel are for real. True, true.

Previously featured Death in Plains just might be the best thing to come out of Italy since Raein and La Quiete and the grand hitter "Life in the Woods" has now a vid to fit the feel.

It's filled with enthusiasm, passion and sparkles intensively but with delicacy.

You can watch "Life in the Woods" below and listen to the EP "Mustard Polo" here.

WU LYF - SPITTING IT CONCRETE LIKE THE GOLDEN SUN GOD

noreply@blogger.com (Stereotype) — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:25:00 +0000

WU LYF translates for World Unite/Lucifer Youth Foundation and they happen to be veryvery mysterious.

They also happen to have a new video out and it's all about conquest. The soundtrack echoes beneath the tropical landscapes with vigor and battalions.

DELAY TREES - "CASSETTE 2012"

noreply@blogger.com (Stereotype) — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 13:45:00 +0000

Helsinki sweethearts Delay Trees are about to release their debut album through Johanna kustannus and they've now got a new single out.

"Cassette 2012" is made of rich touchy-feely harmony and lush, timeless delicacy hushing the crazes of the modern times away.

Listen and download below.

BEST COAST - CRAZY FOR YOU

noreply@blogger.com (Stereotype) — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 12:12:00 +0000

Best Coast's "Crazy For You" is made of countless oohs and aahs, some mournful but playful longing, and buzzyness tuned to the finest. It's all a simple-as-it-gets kinda treat and spends no time in anything but poisonously infectious hooks and saying things as direct as possible.

It's all about bittersweet, sandy fun and staring at those sundowns by the coast and 23 year old Bethany Cosentino just might've ended up making one of the definite albums of the year.

You can listen to "Crazy For You" and watch the vid for the mega-hitter "When I'm With You" below. It's also listenable with Spotify.
