Video: Unknown Mortal Orchestra – “Nerve Damage”

Unknown Mortal Orchestra released a video to complement the punchy, lo-fi art-rock of “Nerve Damage”. The track is a two-minute burst of energy, so you can expect the video to get straight to the point; the queasy, ...

The Stepkids

The Stepkids’ “Shadows on Behalf” sounds like it could have been recorded at several points throughout history — at a ’60s soul festival, on the set of a ’70s porno, or during a pioneering hip-hop sample demonstration from the ...

Obscure Sound: Best of February 2011

This is a wonderful day. February is no more, and finally we can bid farewell to the dullness and bitter cold of the month. Suitably enough, I was sick for the majority of it. Now that March is here, it is hardly surprising tha...

  • Zeeb0ntheBEAT is the project of Najeeb Nuruddin, a rising hip-hop act that impresses throughout his new EP Sensei. Among the highlights is the captivating “Unburdened,” which sports an excellently addictive string-based beat over a precisely melodic flow. The lead vocals after the one-minute mark – and prior to the spoken-word samples – bear a fond reminiscence to Dizzee Rascal’s precise flow. “Unburdened” is a strong production from Zeeb0ntheBEAT. {Link to listen in bio}
  • pär (Pär Hagström) is a musician and producer based in Gothenburg, Sweden, producing an ethereal vein of folk with ambient qualities. “The God I Knew Is Dead” is a moving new track from pär, evolving from beautiful minimalist folk to a more spacious, symphonic presence in the second half. The soaring vocals and gorgeously evolving folk-forward feel reminds of Sufjan Stevens. The track comes from the artist’s latest release, Solipsism, described as “very personal, and comes out as authentic comments on the surrounding world — questioning love, time, purposeness & god.” Beyond this project, Hagström is also behind ambient project Ave Air (which touts over 14 million streams on Spotify alone) and experimental theatre-pop-duo Next Stop: Horizon. Look for pär’s next single to release in March. {Link to listen in bio}
  • The blissfully hypnotic “Tired” is the latest success from @quellerox, the Brooklyn musician who impressed last year with “Dream Daisies.” Her lo-fi dream-pop sound continues its atmospheric charm, with the vocals assuming an aptly lethargic tone early on, though lifted with effervescent appeal during the “I’m tired,” hook. Here, synths emerge with a seemingly aquatic feel. Otherworldly, lush, and hypnotic, “Tired” is chilled-out enjoyment, mixed by Huck. Quelle Rox is a project with all the indications of future success. {Link to listen in bio}
  • Triangle Head is a Melbourne-based producer whose new track “Roll It Up” impresses with deft sample usage. It’s cold here in the USA, but in Australia it’s still summer — and certainly this is a track with shimmering, sun-shining vibes. Various vocal parts play brilliantly, with an Avalanches-esque feel as the symphonic lead-in at 01:32 captivates. The artist describes the effort as “a sample-based duet about lapsed love, containing slices of soul, funk, RNB and motown,” and those genres feel perfectly amalgamated on this joyful success. {Link to listen in bio}
