Oakland’s Religious Girls have been campaigning for your doughnations to their IndieGoGo all month but in the meantime, they rounded up their pals for some daydrinking and made a music video out of it. “Dead Dog” gives HBO’s ‘Girls’ a run for their money in humor and depicting a 20-somethings daily life emphasized by stalker-style close-ups and 90′s documentary edits. Their experimental pop gives the video a sense of nostalgia, with melodies and drumlines that would normally be looped by any other band are repeated and developed over the duration, delicately balancing tempo and energy exertion.

Directed by Chris Danko and edited by Sprinkle Lab, “Dead Dog” satisfies your twerk cravings with an appetizing horror film-inspired conclusion.

“Dead Dog” comes off of Religious Girls’ upcoming record I Want To Believe – help them make it with your doughnation and catch them on their nationwide tour, more info at Gimme Money Monday: Religious Girls.

MP3 Stream: Starlight Girls – ’7×3′

Brooklyn-based Starlight Girls premiered their latest track via SPIN today.

Frigid vocals aid the foreboding instrumental loops and yet I am never afraid, just eager to [...]

Highasakite- SPOT Festival

Feathers adorn the stage flooded by acid-wash lights during Highasakite’s performance at SPOT Festival. Layers of prismatic sound create visible rhythmic patterns with enough power to defy gravity.

A hollow space has existed in the stage-presence of Danish electro-pop band When Saints Go Machine recently. After taking a step out of the limelight in order to dedicate their time to the production of their third album, it’s needless to say that their reunion with the stage at SPOT Festival was highly anticipated. I caught up with the boys before the show, who seemed particularly eager to share their new music with their fans: “This is the first time [...]

SPOT Festival 2013

It’s that time of year again over in Denmark. SPOT Festival in Århus has been out at play over the weekend. As always, the festival presents an alluring array of emerging Scandinavian artists, as well as a few who have already emerged.
