[on repeat] Savoir Adore

I can’t remember who (or what) first introduced me to the Brooklyn indie pop two-piece that is Savoir Adore, but i’ve been a big fan since first listen.

They haven’t really slowed down since their debut EP, The Adventures of Mr. Pumpernickel and the Girl With the Animals in Her Throat, was released back in November 2010.  They most recently played SXSW and have since headed back to the studio to “explore the unknown”.  In the meantime, checkout one of my favorite Savoir Adore tracks below and head on over to their site and take advantage of a free download of Loveliest Creature and check out their tour schedule.

[hot off the press] Childish Gambino//Break (AOTL)

No joke, I could probably devote this blog exclusively to covering Childish Gambino and posts would be more consistent and abundant.

Hot on the heels of his last offering (The Longest Text Message), Mr. Gambino (aka Donald Glover, aka The Hardest Working Person in Show Biz) just dropped yet another brand new track, Break (All Of The Lights).  Originally a Kanye track, Gambino makes it his own covering all the music, singing the Rhianna hook, and contributing some solid flows.  I for one like this more than the original, but i’m not the biggest Kanye fan.  Give the track a listen and let me know what you think.

[hot off the press] The Submarines

The latest from LA indie pop duo, The Submarines, is out today!  Love Notes/Letter Bombs is their third full-length studio album and i’m quite excited.  The good people at Paste have the album available to stream in it’s entirety.  I haven’t given the new record a proper listen, but i’m not too worried.  I’ve really enjoyed what i’ve heard thus far and if Love Notes/Letter Bombs is anything like their previous releases, i’m sure i’ll enjoy it just as much.

For more Submarines, be sure to visit their main site and check out their tour schedule (tour kicks off April 5th in Echo Park!).
