“I Had To Laugh” is the latest single from producer/film composer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Kan Wakan. The song features the impeccable vocals of Rachel Fannan and the cinematic sounds of the Sofia Philharmonic. It is pure beauty.
Kan Wakan’s new triple LP Phantasmagoria is due late Spring 2017 (pre-order here).
Easily one of the more interesting artist/band names I’ve come across in recent memory, but Cuddle Magic is more than just a fun name. The excellent folky/electronic single “Trojan Horse” is from the band’s forthcoming LP (Ashes/Axis) and sounds like Sufjan Stevens collaborating with The Postal Service. Enjoy.
Ashes/Axis will be released 1/27 via Northern Spy Records.
It’s been yet another wet week in my Northern California abode and electronic producer Torin Bell’s latest ambient/downtempo single, “Flight,” is the perfect soundtrack to this rainy Saturday. I can’t help but lose myself in this song…in the best possible way.
I hear there’s an EP in the works for a March release. Until then, enjoy the rest of your weekend and be sure to check out more of Torin Bell’s work.
Tin Can Telescope is a Danish garage rock band, but the quartet has definitely mastered the art of NYC sound. Their latest single, “Tourist in New York,” is the perfect song to soundtrack an all night adventure in the big city – it’s loud, fast, infectious, and topsy-turvy in all the right ways. Prepare yourself for multiple listens, and as the band so perfectly puts it, “a garage rock experience of another dimension.”
Find “Tourist in New York” and more on the band’s second EP, Winding up the Reeling Sensation (available now).

We all knew it was inevitable, but when was the big question. But today is the day. Gorillaz have returned.
Like the new Arcade Fire track that also dropped today (today was a good day), Gorillaz delivered the following message with the new song – “Dark time – u need someone to look up to … Here’s a lightning bolt of truth in a black night. Now piss on! New stuff won’t write itself.”
