Fusing electro, soul, jingles and jangles, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour make modern pop that sounds like a sparkly 1960's movie soundtrack mixed with the feeling of spinning around in circles. The Denma... more »

In a time when '60s pop-soul is back in style, artists such as Amy Winehouse and Duffy are in high demand. Anjulie is right there in the mix with her catchy throwback single "Boom," which has enough b... more »

Sporting a flagrant disregard for the happy-go-lucky oblivion of popular music, you can count on Mt. Sims for a clanging, atonally charged jolt of grim reality. Musically this trio employs shrill guit... more »

Williamsburg, Brooklyn hasn't shown a lot of interest in emo forms, but Plushgun
determinedly brings plaintive vocals and pealing beats to Bedford Avenue. The effect, aided by classical string flouri... more »

Much of what we love about DFA Records is present on FF5's newest: the mixing of hard disco beats and fierce guitars, the sense that retro club music and modern rock music needn't be mutually exclusiv... more »

Boston has been largely quiet lately, standing by calmly as other cities rip off its beloved Pixies. But is the ceasefire now ceasing? Passion Pit's Frenchkiss EP, "Chunk of Change," is a bracing mixt... more »

The East Bay act accomplishes an impressive feat of time travel, joining the warm funk of an earlier Oakland with the frosty synthesizers of today's model. Snazzy processing tricks and a feel for both... more »

Everyone wants to sound like Joy Division, but these Californians get far closer than most. A hollowed-but-charismatic singing style (the first step in any Ian Curtis imitation) is validated by acerbi... more »

This music is from...The Future. Much as Prince once anticipated 1999, the California pair drops a funkish brew that feels a couple decades ahead. Choppy, tricky kitwork melds with garish synths, and ... more »

The brilliance of this utterly odd collaboration is that it remains true to its utter oddness. Forget compromise: "Drive Thru" is Julian's downtown rock collided with Santi's hipster soul-pop and run ... more »

Britain's second generation of post-punk is no longer a new and thrilling thing; the trade-off may come as it gets smarter and more refined. These Oxford lads make sinewy vocals stick with rhythmic pu... more »
