Tape Recorder

The Brooklyn duo MGMT´s Kids is a brilliant song and the Soulwax Remix gives it a new clubby feel. The remix has been around for sometime, but now Pete Tong picked it up and Kids (Soulwax Remix) is his last weeks essential new tune.

I saw Yeasayer play live last night and liked them a lot. The band remained very into their music, passionate about it and at the same time they were really warm. Their music is art, it´s been described “psychedelic folk” or something, but to me it reflected the cultural diversity of the band and Brooklyn, New York, where Yeasayer comes from. Yeasayer mixes up great, sometimes dark melodies and world rhythms. 2080 by Yeasayer is a gorgeous track and perhaps best example of their music.

Released on September 8th 2008, Impatience is the new single from Brooklyn’s We Are Scientists´. Watch bassist Chris Cain turning into a werewolf below:

The previous single and video After Hours by We Are Scientists is also based on the same kind of humour and bassist Chris Cain being the underdog in the beginning:

Cruel Black Dove is an emerging new band from Brooklyn. Their dark electronic sounds and intense attitude just demands attention. The band was formed by singer Anastasia Dimou and producer Alan Veucasovic, later Taiwan native Shirley Ho joined to play bass and Jonathan Nanberg the drums. They sound and look very modern noir. Watch the video to Cruel Black Dove´s Love Song below:

Yeasayer is one of the most interesting bands that emerged last year. They come from Brooklyn (which seems to be the place for interesting acts at the moment), tour with MGMT and create experimental indie rock. A track from Yeasayer album All Hour Cymbals called Sunrise is available for free online. The song is very original and intellectual yet easy to listen.
