Digitalism rework the standout track from In the Grace of Your Love for their new DJ-Kicks release. The arrangement goes big, expansive and scenic with The Rapture’s scrappy post-punk soundscape. Check it out below.
One of our favorite things about Chapel Club has always been the band’s obvious love for a greater vision. That being said, and even after hearing that their new material would be nearly all electronics based, “Sleep Alone” is still a complete 180 from what we’d expected, and in the most pleasant sense. Get familiar with their hot new track “Sleep Alone” below and pick up a free download of it over at the band’s Soundcloud while you can.

Wildcat! Wildcat! weigh-in with yet another indie pop megaton track on their latest “The Chief”. The song will be released tomorrow as a free download on the band’s Soundcloud and you can preview the cut below. Mark your calendars.
What might that Richards/Taylor guitar work on “Gimme Shelter” look like if it lurked in the night as some sort of docile pill induced zombie? Moments in The Raveonettes new single “Observations” feel harmoniously possessed by the iconic track’s six string weepiness. The song, from The Raveonettes forthcoming and sixth studio album Observator premiered today on Rolling Stone, and has a certain duality in addition that soul chilling pocket the band explore so well. Hat tips to the Danish duo yet again.
The 1975 have developed an identifiable and forward thinking cast of Manchester indie rock. The band, aka T H E S L O W D O W N and B I G S L E E P within the last year or so, will be releasing a debut EP Facedown under The 1975 guise. Rightfully, the crew have attracted some noteworthy love from the blogosphere and tastemaker radio, and their track “Sex” is easily one of our fave of 2011. Pick up a copy of their Facedown EP August 6th and preview “The City” from the forthcoming below.
