Brice Woodall – Sea of Knives

bricewoodall

“Sea of Knives”, excerpted here from Chicago indie pop artist Brice Woodall’s “Id Escaped” EP, is one gorgeous stop-what-you’re-doing melody after another. Don’t sleep.

First Aid Kit – The Lion’s Roar

firstaidkit

The Swedish sisters Soderberg return with “Lion’s Roar”, excerpted here from the duo’s upcoming LP of the same name. FAK’s beautiful “Ghost Town” was one of our favorite tracks of 2010 and “Lion’s Roar” is right there in terms of quality. The tune is folky but also references dusty country western balladry, (Think Townes Van Zandt). The Lion’s Roar is due digitally November 8th.

Lana Del Rey – Blue Jeans (Mover Shaker Remix)

lanamover

“Blue Jeans” (one of the best songs of the year) continues to inspire incredible remixes. DC producer Mover Shaker’s mix is not an exception. Slightly frantic, a little eerie, but 100% heater beat, Mover Shaker has a definite hit on his hands.

Tyson – After You’re Gone (The Magician Remix)

tyson

Belgian artist The Magician turns in an ace remix of Tyson’s blogworld hit “After You’re Gone”. There’s enough classic disco, electro & nu disco laced into the track to have face tat Mike Tyson, the Tyson chicken guy, and, of course, our girl Cicely Tyson mean mugging on the dancefloors of only the largest of rooms.

Grandpa Was a Lion – The Test Dream

grandpawasalion

Grandpa Was a Lion is Connecticut artist Justin D’Onofrio. If you’re into Bon Iver or David Bazan or Elliott Smith or just great songwriting you’ll want to give GWAL’s Seven Songs a spin on Bandcamp.
