One of my new favorite bands IS TROPICAL just released the official video to their single “Seasick Mutiny”. Not my favorite track, but the video rocks. Check out “The Greeks”. That song will take your shoes off! “Seasick Mutiny” below, “The Greeks” here at a proper blog.

Dev Hynes aka Lightspeed Champion has a new project going on. As Blood Orange, he, a guitar and a macbook are creating unique lo-fi pop. It started on his youtube channel and in the past two months he played a couple of live shows in New York and London. According to wikipedia, an album is expected to drop later this year. Listen to “Forget it”: CLICK.
There are lots of posts out there about who to watch in the next couple of months. I came across The Vanish sometime in April last year when they created quite a buzz in the blogosphere. I was waiting for them to get big in 09 but they literally “vanished” for the rest of the year. They are Australian as far as i know but are based in New York right now. Anyway, looks like things got moving again in the last weeks. Sources say they finished artwork and have a photo shoot scheduled for this very weekend. Exciting news! The tracks “Hold On” and “Heartbeat” actually date back from April 09 and made some top-tracks-of-the-year lists. Listen on their myspace page. There are two more tracks out there that i know of, “I Don’t Speak French” and “Children of the Night” which is my favorite. Search hypem to find cooler blogs who posted them. New stuff coming soon?
Little information to find about them: their facebook page says: BRAHMS played their first show in the early hours of January 1st 2010 for a small audience at their practice space in Greenpoint. They’re a blank slate for the decade to write upon. Listen on their Myspace page.
