Kid Sister (another Chicago favorite) has proven her talents again with her remix of Kelly Rowland’s “Motivation”. The beginning of the track is built to build up to Kid Sister’s verse that drops at about 1:20 and it is totally worth the small wait. It’s so catchy and has that..
Hercules and Love Affair have taken the xx’s minimalist hit “Shelter” and turned it into it’s robotic counterpart. Whereas the xx turn empty space into an understated symphony of vocals and bass Hercules and Love Affair are able to produce a fantastic cover by filling that space with synth and cold..

Pretty Lights has done it again. This track is a seamless integration of three bands that we wouldn’t normally lump together. Our favorite element is the use of Radiohead’s Everything in its Right Place but then you have to give some credit to Nirvana’s vocals from All Apologies and just as we’re making..
Mathieu Santos is best known as being the energetic bassist of Ra Ra Riot but who knew that his vocals could rival those of Wes Miles? I Can hear the Trains Coming is Mathieu’s solo debut and it bodes well for his future as a solo artist. It catches you right..
