The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition (RAC Remix)

Good track by remix specialists RAC of the 500 Days of Summer hit, Sweet Disposition. The original is amazing but RAC does a good job of maintaining the songs feel while transforming into something completely different.

Miracles Club - Church Song

New track from the Portland band, Miracles Club. Not my favorite but after a few minutes the track becomes almost hypnotic.

Passion Pit - All These Trees

Faux your listening pleasure, Passion Pit's "All These Trees." I'll admit, I'm a little late on this one... it was featured in American Express' ZYNC campaign during the holidays. I don't expect Passion Pit's new album being released anytime soon, so enjoy this new track in the meantime.

[Event] Coachella 2011

Planning on going to Coachella in Cali this year? I'm not, but if you are, good news. They just released this years line up. The festival will come to the Empire Polo Field in Indio, California on April 15-17. Check out this years line up below straight from the promotional poster itself.

Chiddy Bang - Youngblood

If you haven't heard of Chiddy Bang yet, you best listen up.

The duo is comprised of Chidera "Chiddy" Anamege and Noah "Xaphoon Jones" Beresin. The two met while attending Drexel University. Their sound is based on the fusion of hip hop and unique samples from popular indie artists such as Sufjan Stevens, Passion Pit, and MGMT. Above, Chiddy Bang utilizes their lyrical and rythmatic magic to give us the The Naked and Famous remix of "Young Blood."

Tokyo Police Club - Wait Up (Dom Remix)

As much as I love TPC, a remix of their stuff is always refreshing. Here's an impressive remix from the band DOM of the TPC's track, "Wait Up." What I appreciate most about this remix is even though it is technically a remix, DOM embraces the original track so well that it could almost be mistaken for a Tokyo Police Club release.

Toro y Moi - Still Sound

Here's the latest from Toro y Moi's upcoming album, Underneath the Pine. Looking for more Toro y Moi? Give their track Talamak a try.

[mp3] Crystal Castles ft. Robert Smith - Not In Love

Holy shit! I guess Robert Smith from the Cure is not only not dead, but when combined with Crystal Castles, amazing happens. It's free to download from the Crystal Castles site. Check out the track below.

[mp3] Tennis - Marathon

If you're a fan of Best Coast then you'll love Tennis. I'm not talkin' bald/meth-headed Andre Agassi tennis, either.

Tennis is a husband-wife duo composed of Alaina Moore and Partick Riley. It's a breezy, distorted, harmonizing sound that works, that is if you like this kinda thing. Not my favorite track, but the song is blowing up on the indie scene. Follow the link for a listen and free download. Just right-click the song and click "save as" and the song is yours....faux free.

[Album Stream] Twin Shadow - Forget

From prettymuchamazing.com:

"Twin Shadow is made up solely of George Lewis Jr. and if one had to classify his sound it would be somewhere on the soft rock/new wave spectrum. But it’s tough to say something like that about an album so rich in detail, sophistication and emotion."

My two favorite tracks are, "I Can't Wait" and "Slow." Both tracks are pretty dark in nature, have sort of a Cure-type feel to them, but are catchy nonetheless. Stream Twin Shadow's album, "Forget," above.
