I got a glimpse of Spring today and she looks as beautiful as ever. She's colorful and bright and I associate those things with happiness.
"Roads" by Essex is just like the Spring. Colorful chord progressions, bright vocals and synths, warm fuzzy f...

Listening to Absofacto's new single "Light Outside" is like meeting a dear old friend after a 2 year hiatus. You're excited by the mere thought of your reacquaintance, but you're anxious to see if you're still going to click. Well it turns out with M...

MUTEMATH’s latest single “Changes” is chock-full of smooth, synthy goodness. Lead vocalist Paul Meany’s mellifluous vocals are supported by a touch of electronica that gives it a slight edge without anything too harsh or disruptive.
The band has evo...

The track was supposedly started at a studio in the jungle in Nicaragua. I'm not entirely...

I embarked on this review with plans to review the album version of Grizfolk's "The Struggle," but was intrigued to find this gem embedded in SoundCloud. RAC puts a divine spin on all the sounds, so why not go ahead and feature this mix?
Grizfolk, a...

Far removed from the (also beautiful) original track, Golden Coast's remix of Ofelia K's "White T-Shirt" takes it to a dreamier, glitchier place. This song is sneakily catchy and, though it's relatively relaxed, propels forward in various engaging wa...

I'm pretty skeptical of bands that decide to change their name, but although Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. has rebranded to simply Jr. Jr., their music continues to be as joyous as ever.
"Gone" is the first of what I can only imagine as an array of upbeat...
