Jason Karaban is an interesting type of talent. A unique type of pop-leaning artist that puts his craft before any limelight. While you’ll be lucky to ever catch a live performance or appearance from Jason, you can hear the syrupy lines of commercial friendly song pour out him on record. His forthcoming full-length Shift will be available September 4th via Ascend Records, and the lead track “Misplaced” serves perfect example of what to expect. The song showcases Jason’s ability to cross the roads between writing and arranging aptness where strings meet guitars, Alex Ebert meets Nick Drake, and everything meets overall inspirational moments. Jason will be performing select live dates in NYC and LA leading up to the release of Shift, these sets are a don’t miss!

A beautiful entry on offer here from Doc Daneeka (producer) & Abigail Wyles (vocals). Both parties earn their headline billing as Daneeka’s skilled production puts the perfectly precise frame around Wyles striking powerful vocal performance. Do not miss.

Zeds Dead slows TEED’s excellent “Household Goods” to an approx. five frames per second pace. The result is a cinematic wash of relaxed keyboard jabs and hypnotic bass tones and if you’re not careful you may just feel the world turn underneath feet as you listen.

“The Boredom Rose” is a welcome third single by London/Yorkshire based Grass House. More compelling alt-pop with a slight deep south gospel influence provided by Al Spx on guest vocals (A.k.a Cold Specks). Go get it September 10 By Nathan Hetherington

Excerpted below is “Waves”, our select track from Aussie exports White Hex’s excellent 12″ “Heat”. Built on a slimy lurching bassline and singer Tara Green’s creeper vocals, “Waves” sounds like MENACE. Fancy some MENACE?

Experimental musicians Black Moth Super Rainbow have a playful bent towards the mysterious and obscure. Their excellent new track “Windshield Smasher” delivers a psychedelic retro sound, brightly understated lyrics, and a fresh edgy style that reminds us a bit of the Dandy Warhols. BMSR release their forthcoming album Cobra Juicy in October. By Erin Feathers

Here is a new tune from Mother Mother! These guys come up with some of the most danceable indie rock out there. What I think is the most special about Mother Mother is the versatility of headman Ryan Guldemond, this guy has a mad set of pipes. These guys are music writing machines, their first release was in 2007 and now their fourth record The Sticks is due this September. Be sure to check it out, the music has gotten better with every release. By the same token, this track rocks harder the longer you listen, make sure you hear the end. By Jon Herriot

When it comes to summer jams “So Good” hits that sweet spot. The new track from E-TRAIN is his first release since WRATH OF ROXANE+. The song is previewed here for the first time from an upcoming untitled project expected September 5th and it features LA-based Molly K on the sugary hook. Good luck not singing along to this one.
E-TRAIN performs this Saturday in West Los Angeles @ Touch Vinyl with SoundFanua and A Sol Mechanic (INFO) NO COVER 8pm door.

So good. Chilean DJ Daniel Klauser respins Brandy’s “Never Say Never” into a beautifully hewn brocade (yeah we just said brocade.) of interlocking beats and vocal chop-ups. We are in love. Thanks XLR8R.
