Corners - 'The Grave'
0
I'm reminded of early Pixies tapes when I go through Corners's debut Beyond Way EP. There's a similar sinister mania in these lo-fi garage rock tunes.

Gentle, lo-fi haze. Like Eno, but with a little more grit.

spotlight on LA group "Raining Jane"
Home grown Los Angeles indie-rockers Raining Jane planted the seed in 1999 in the UCLA music scene and have since cultivated their own unique acoustic sound that has taken their music through three albums, co-writes with Jason Mraz, song placements on television and guest spots on other artists albums.
In 2003 the band kicked off a six-year tour, averaging 120 shows per year opening for the likes of Sara Bareilles. During which time they’ve recorded and released four albums: Read more about It's Raining Janes...hallelujah!!

What is this? Is it 16-bit electro-soul? Is it so catchy your irises will explode into quantums of glittering color? I think yes!

Freddy Rupert's previous band Former Ghosts officially called it quits this past Christmas Day--a shame, considering their record Fleurs remains one of my favorites to come out of California. But their leader isn't quite done making noise. He's just released a new EP that plays on many of the aesthetic choices that made Former Ghosts so appealing as a project. The closer to the Home From The Wars EP immediately stands out as its highlight. Check it out below.

Layer pop-punk whine over big, chunky power chords. Get irresistible single topped off with the perfect level of snark. Hopewrecker claims to have been born of "restless unemployment and sheer hyperbole". Armed with a fierce sense of humor, these dudes make some fun punk.

The Worlds Most Popular Lounge Singer-Richard Cheese
Not since the days of Bill Murray and old school SNL, turning some oddball songs into lounge tunes has anyone captured the genre like Richard Cheese, the King of Swank.
Heralded as America’s loudest lounge singer and the hardest working Dick in show business; Cheese puts some of the most popular contemporary songs through the “Vegas-inator” and performs them lounge style. He covers rap, rock and Top 40 with his jazz trio “Lounge Against the Machine”. Read more about You Want Some Cheese With That Swank?

Two parts IDM, one part hip-hop, and one part chillwave make for a very fun little track from LA's Cliff Dweller.

OH Land Coming to La La Land
The El Rey Theatre hosted a most visually stunning performer on December 16th. Oh Land opened up at 9pm for the all age show.
Nanna Oland Fabricius has always been a visual artist. When writing her music she envisions the distant future mashed together with the classic ghostly sound of the golden age.
Her music and performance not only indulges the pleasure center of your mind but dazzles the eyes with electrical neon tones. She has always been one to push her talents to their extremes giving a quality and dazzling show.

A glorious trainwreck of a fuzz track reminiscent of some of the Elephant Six collective's dirtier work. Reach in and get your fingers messy while wrangling beauty from the chaos.
