Jam of the Day: Rachel Collier - "Paper Tiger"


Banging electro-pop track from Rachael Collier that has a very Santigold vibe to it.



As an added bonus, here is an in-studio live version she did for Abelton, where you can see her build all the loops.

Jam of the Day: Zara Larrson - "Funeral"


Zara Larrson sings the hell out of this breakup song, which is about realizing a relationship is not working out and being adult about moving on.

Jam of the Day: Future Islands - "Black Rose"


Future Islands' new record The Far Field has a surfeit of riches. I really could post the entire record as a Jam of the Day, but for brevity's sake I will post the final track on the record, "Black Rose." It's simply a gorgeous mid-tempo track featuring muted synth swells and a driving bass line. And of course, Sam Herring's emotive vocals. Pure bliss. You can hear it here on Spotify.

Jam of the Day: Talos - "Contra"


New single from Eoin French, aka Talos, which is “about the idea of protecting something very fragile in the midst of a crisis, when the walls are falling down around you.” It's a delicate track with evocative lyrics, tender vocals, and cinematic electronics.
