Parannoul - "Insomnia"

Anonymous South Korean musician Parannoul has just released his new record After the Magic, which blends the technicolor shoegaze of M83 with the orchestral rock of The Smashing Pumpkins. "Insomnia" starts out with twinkling synths and muted guitars, but builds into a swelling wash of guitars and dense drum n' bass beats.

Jam of the Day: Caroline Polachek - "Insomnia"

Formerly the lead singer of Chairlift, Caroline Polachek has just released her debut solo album, the exquisite Pang. The record is one that takes a little time to get to know, but once you have listened to it enough, its charms become multifaceted. I am particularly drawn to the album's centerpiece "Insomnia." It's only a bed of synth washes and Caroline's almost operatic voice. It is a stunning performance.
