Jam of the Day: Little Cub - "Hypnotize"

Pssst! I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Little Cub's debut album Still Life is one of the best records of the year. It was near impossible to put just one of their tracks down here, so you will likely see a few more over the coming months. "Hypnotize" is a good entry point on the record, throwing down a fierce groove as synthesizers swirl around. The best description of the band's is that they sound like the intersection where Blur, Pulp, Wild Beasts, and Pet Shop Boys all meet. Please check them out.

Jam of the Day: Young Magic - "Lucien"

Dreamy and languid track from Young Magic. Their new record Still Life is wonderful.

The Horrors: Skying

Goth post-punkers The Horrors are set to release their follow up to Primary Colours (which was one of my favorite albums of 2009) on July 11. Skying was self-produced and recorded in their own home studio. As a preview, they have released the first single, "Still Life," which appears to be taking the band from the shoegaze/krautrock of the last album to a more synth-friendly sound. You can listen to the song below:
