Seabright - Phantom Power

2010-10-21T14:33:00.000-07:00

Justin Morales, who makes some pretty awesome music under the moniker Seabright, just sent over word that he's working on a new EP! If you guys don't know, Seabright released a pretty awesome album called Shimmer back in August. Well, he's back with a brand new song entitled Phantom Power. Along with this new tune comes a fresh new sound from Seabright; whereas Shimmer was very techy/chillwavey, this new song has a really cool acoustic folky-pop sound while still retaining some of the synth components that make him such a blissed out listen. The new EP should be out sometime around the coming of the new year.

Hi-Scores Recording Library just sent over this killer single from their new Parisian pop duo Total Warr.

It is on the groups recently released debut; their Cascades EP which only costs $4.00 and has some great songs on it.

Mickey Brown - Zordon

2010-09-30T15:13:00.000-07:00

For those of you who don't know, Mickey Brown is a collab between two of my favorite artists; Miller Rodriguez (aka Mickey Mickey Rourke) and Joshua Emter (aka Lester Brown) who released one of my favorite albums of this year back in August, Vision Quest. Anyway, they are back with a brand spanking new single called Zordon from their upcoming release Soul Glo. This duo is really evolving because this is unlike anything I have heard from the duo (in the best possible way).
