Lovelife – Heaven

Brooklyn based duo Lovelife (LVLF) recently let loose on “Heavenly”, a new hook-latent gem that’s previewed here from their forthcoming EP, The Fourth Floor. “Heavenly” sees the duo’s emotions rise and fall through melodic states of optimistic euphoria, all while set to the backdrop of dance-floor readied R&B pop. It’s likely you’ve come accross LVLF before, either through gigs with the likes of The Neighourhood, Fitz and the Tantrums and St. Lucia, or via various official remix projects for The Killers and Everything Everything to name a few. Keep this duo on your radar and get familiar with “Heaven” below.

The Weeknd – Twenty Eight

The Weeknd delivers more of what he does best on “Twenty Eight” (ie the unfortunate and agonizing problem of having girls telling friends how he’s got them screaming his name). Doc McKinney & Illangelo work the boards for yet another troubled-soul R&B slice of pop perfection. Track is hot. Grab the Trilogy LP 11/13.

Teen Daze – Spirit

With all the madness that is election Tuesday, I thought it would be nice to spin some chillwave from Teen Daze on B3SCI. From the just released album The Inner Mansions, “Spirit” lets you escape from the pundits, poll conspiracies and ‘new experts’ of politics on Facebook. By Brian Litwin

Admin – For Junior

Yeah, nothing soothes the soul after an especially trying day like gently hypnotic rhythm, sultry sax, and the dulcet tones of Andre 3k going on about baby mamas. Lets see that track.

Foals – Inhaler

Released today we have the new single from Foals titled, “Inhaler”. Though their third album, Holy Fire isn’t coming out until Feb. 2013, the buzz is growing and this first single is just adding to it. With a steep rise in intensity in every instrument, you can’t just help but rock your head back and forth to the beat. If the album is constructed like this song, expect huge things to come Foals way. By Brian Litwin

Glen Martin – This Is All We Know

Los Angeles transplant from Michigan’s UP (that’s upper peninsula for those not familiar with the area) Glen Martin recently released his first EP titled Electric Baby. This self-released, 5 song EP exudes Americana with a catchy mix of indie and folk. A standout on the release is the lead off track, “This Is All We Know”, which has a kick back, tap your foot, and sip some whiskey kind of feel. By Brian Litwin
