FOE

Have a listen to a beautiful voice from Britain. So thankful that I stumbled upon FOE today, even though she only has a couple of songs out thus far. Her quintessential track is below. The original is jazzy, echoe-y, sultry. The remix sounds like it came straight from the soundtrack of Top Gun. Love 'em both but I am a sucker for remixes. This one takes my breath away...

Tamaryn

Music for people watching. Music for a nice, smooth road trip. Music that gets even better when you're a lil tipsy. Plant these 2 happy tracks from Tamaryn's debut album into your world ASAP. Boy does it feel good to support local music from my home-city of SF!

Tamaryn - Dawning

Tamaryn - Love Fade

H Fredriksson.

Swedish designer Helena Fredriksson is brilliant. Based out of Brooklyn, (I swear, another coincidence. I don't just love things from Brooklyn) her aesthetic is modern, artistic, and juxtaposed by loose yet structured pieces. Her clothes are timeless. She seems to be strategic with her use of color, which is refreshingly minimal. I am a fan.

Crystal Castles ft. Robert Smith (!!!)

I'll never forget: Crystal Castles going bat shit on stage @ Mezzanine SF circa 2007. I think they opened for the Presets (not too shabby). Let's just say I was speechless and it took me a minute to switch gears and get excited for the Aussie dudes.

And now...a sweet (big) collab with Robert Smith of none other than the Cure. Now crack open a Coors Light and get off the couch. This song is RAD.

Keep Shelly in Athens

Starts out as a sweet lil bedroom tune. At around the 2:44 mark, you'll want to party in your sleep. Trust me, it is worth the wait! And yes, this duo is from Greece.

Twin Shadow // Hooray for Earth

Twin Shadow's debut album, 'Forget' is getting some impressive reviews. Surprise, surprise...more new music straight out of Brooklyn that is killing it. His lyrics are truly memorable. And it is only the beginning. "I Can't Wait" has been catching my ear this week and I added a remix that is bringing me to a sweet lil place that I REALLY like.
