Daughter’s remix for band bestie Warpaint’s “Feeling Alright” is the return remix to Warpaint’s hyperdrive re-do of the Daughter track “Winter”. Daughter’s “Feeling Alright” mix is replete with atmosphere and cinema and ruddered by decisive piano stabs and whirling pieces of percussive guitar.

We loved earlier this year Stwo’s Drake-directed beat “With You”. Here, Bristol UK emcee Luui speaks through a set of cadence-perfect bars creating a stunning intersection of narrative and instrumental.

60’s rock purveyors Allah-Las play The El Rey Theater in Los Angeles next Thursday December 11th. The San Francisco band’s Byrds meets weirdo psychedelia sound is a fresh non-contrived take on the more melodic corners of the late 1960’s sound originating on either side of the Atlantic. We’re pleased to give away one pair of passes to Allah-Las’ December 11th show in L.A. packaged with a vinyl copy of the band’s most recent LP, Worship The Sun. To enter to win the contest hit our inbox with the subject line “ALLAH LAS L.A.” before Monday December 8th at 3 PM PST. Tickets and details for Allah La’s Tashaki Miyaki and Dream Boys-supported El Rey gig can be found here.

There must be more to UK new-comers Fine Print than meets the eye. A few weeks back the anonymous collective caught our attention with their debut track “About You” and now their latest “Can’t Lie” gives us something more to latch on to. While more than ever it seems R&B has become the standard go-to inspiration for so many new artists (of all genres), Fine Print so far stand apart from the crowd, with nothing short of grade A pop songs. Something that time and time again has proven the ability to outlast that new car smell which too oft fades away with hotly tipped projects.

Seemingly without fail, Sweden is the place of origin of yet another innovative pop offering. “Stuck in a Second” from WILDHART is an enjoyable balance of atmospheric sounds and experimentation with equal parts forward-thinking song structure and memorable melody. Sample below.

The beginning of a new month and the release of another new treat from London based collective Oh Wonder. Peak in to the future of a band that you will want/need to know more about in 2015 with latest track “All We Do”.
