Dream pop duo GEMS drop off their latest, the beautifully melodic “All I Ever”. Recorded in a deserted beach town this past October on North Carolina’s Outer Banks there’s a rhythm, space and consistency to the track that reminds of the steady pulse of waves against an empty beach. Great track.

Jagjaguwar doesn’t miss. The label’s latest announced release is Naomi, the upcoming fourth LP from Seattle’s The Cave Singers. “Have to Pretend”, the LP’s lead single, is the sort of gritty slightly menacing soul-driven rock and roll that demands attention.

Alt-J (∆)’s incredible first major release An Awesome Wave is making them one of the most talked about acts of 2012. Winning the Mercury Prize Award and just announcing a spring North American tour, it seems like all systems are go for this Leeds based quartet. Today, only a couple hours after their North American tour dates were released, alt-J unveiled a daunting remix of “Fitzpleasure” conjured up by LA DJ BetaTraxx. Changing tempos and overall feel of the song makes this remix stand out over other remixes of the song. The heavy use of reverb had me almost immediately. By Brian Litwin

New York based singer songwriter Jon Bellion recently dropped a second track from his forthcoming free album Translations Through Speakers via the Visionary Music Group label. “Life” (produced entirely by Bellion) is an infectiously charming track infused with effervescent vocals, a bright harmonic release, and an impossibly catchy sing-song refrain. Check out the accompanying new video by director Jeremy Peel. By Erin Feathers

Yeah, when I saw the headline CRAIG DAVID, FILL ME IN, RYAN HEMSWORTH, it was like hitting the lottery, my birthday, and fresh chocolate chip cookies from the oven. #cookiesperation. So of course this new Hemsworth Craig David remix is awesome. Here it is: Special delivery from Monsieur Hemsworth straight to your prefered cloud mp3, it’s “Fill Me In” (which still rules btw) from Craig David from 2001.

Here is the second video offering from Mike Higbee’s debut album, Secret Life. “Wandering Streets” is a persistent, upbeat track destined to bring its listener a good time. The track is just one more shimmering example from Higbee’s dynamic and genre crossing album. We are always happy to feature Mike Higbee here at B3SCI, and keep a look out for him as he continues to gain momentum around the net. By Trevor Meyer

The Record Company has been one of LA’s fastest rising bands with their blend of blues and Americana. They kill live, and just concluded a successful November residency at The Satellite. It’s their tradition to end with a rocking cover, and last Monday’s show concluded with “Tallahassee Lassie”, which was a 60’s hit for Freddie “Boom Boom” Cannon. The crowd was all over this one, singing along with the chorus. The band recorded an EP of cover songs including this one, so check out their Facebook page for more info. By Bruce Rave
