Falling for Feist

By Annisah Ibrahim | October 8th, 2011 in Music | Locale:

Get lost in a stupendous pop orchestra. Drown in a lush harmony of claps and violins. Develop an infactuation for a voice locked in yearning, enveloped by the keys of a grand piano. Fall in love (again) with Feist.

Mo’ Music and Mo Kolours

By Jennifer Zarichnyj | October 4th, 2011 in Music | Locale:

London-based singer-percussionist Mo Kolours produces an eclectic blend of mellow hip-hop influenced by the Sega music of his Mauritian-born father. Biddies offers a constant thumping drumline, layered under electronically-altered vocal samples and hand-claps forming a tribal beat that Kolours’ sings over.

The Hyper Kids of Wet Illustrated

By Jennifer Zarichnyj | September 28th, 2011 in Music | Locale:

San Francisco’s Wet Illustrated sound like a trio of energetic kids who woke up early on the first day of summer vacation and ate too much Cap’n Crunch before setting off to race each other on bikes. Satellite Kids, the first single off of their debut ’1x1x1′, is a hyperactive riff-heavy jam that is still catchy even if you can’t make out the lyrics. With a thrashing melody like this, who needs them anyway?
