Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra - "Onze de France"

2007 isn't exactly vintage, but I'll give the Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra a pass on the name if they continue to put out tracks like this.

Full-length, Last Odyssey, drops in July on Ubiquity.

Cosmo Jarvis - "Love This"

I may not know how much Cosmo Jarvis "loves this" but I can say that I like it a lot...

Nas - "Daughters"

I have sons, but I get where Nas is coming from on this.

The National - "The Rains of Castamere"

To get you amped for the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones second season, "Blackwater" this Sunday, here's The National, doing a tribute to House Lannister...

Bruce Haack - "National Anthem to the Moon (Stepkids Remix)"

No surprise that a song about the moon would be some spacey shit.

Wintersleep - "Resuscitate"

If anything could bring you back from the brink, this new song from Wintersleep might do the trick. This track has amazing forward momentum.

  Wintersleep - Resuscitate by Wintersleep

The new record, Hello Hum, comes out June 12th on EMI.

The Tallest Man On Earth - "1904"

It was a very good year...

Muneshine feat. D-Sisive - "Starter Jacket"

"The clothes make the man / even at 12." For me it was the Nike shirt with THIS on it, rather than a Starter jacket, but I get where Muneshine and D-Sisive are coming from on this ode to when snapbacks weren't vintage, they were just hats. You can pre-order There Is Only Today here.

CocoRosie - "We Are On Fire"

I honestly can't make up my mind on CocoRosie. Brilliant? Annoying? Catchy? Cloying? All I know is I keep listening. CocoRosie - "We Are On Fire" by forcefieldpr

Chicago Underground Duo - "Castle In Your Heart"

There's a lot going on within this song, but it is also beautiful and beautifully simple.

  Chicago Underground Duo "Castle In Your Heart" from Age of Energy by Northern Spy Records

I'm no doctor, but if you have a castle in your heart, you should really get it looked at. From the album Age Of Energy on Northern Spy Records. One half of the duo is Rob Mazurek who also plays in Sao Paolo Underground (which I've played on my radio show) and Exploding Star Orchestra (a band I've given some love to on the other blog).

Quantic & Alice Russell - "Here Again"

Honestly, if the previous post didn't convince you to get the Q&A collabo, I don't know what will. But here's a little something more from the pair and the Combo Barbaro.

Kendra Morris - "If You Didn't Go"

No disturbing video to accompany it this time, the new Kendra Morris single is just a song that stands its ground all alone.
