I. Twin Cities indie rock outfit Step Rockets is back with another catchy, rollicking track available for your choice of price here
II. Two days ago, universally acclaimed Disclosure released "The Mechanism," a collaboration with UK producer Friend Within. Consequence of Sound's description of it as a "pulsating bit of duba wub wub" is the probably the most accurate assessment I've read. The track gets its official release later this month on PMR Records.
III. Toronto-based Sway Clarke II, self-proclaimed fan of Game of Thrones, sex, schnitzel, Phish, and "nu metal," has released a track that initially sounds vaguely like this one. Still, the song is playful and catchy and, with the cheerful refrain of "I got love to give," it's hard not to like.
IV. I know nothing about the mysterious LA-based DESSERT other than the fact that their dog mascot is rather creepy and that they are not to be confused with this Indonesian band.
V. "Sonnet" is a sparse, lovely track from Slime's recent album In The Brick House featuring Australian George Maple on vocals.
VI. Swedish musician Frida Sundemo is at it again with infectious synth-pop. It's apparently quite literally infectious, as the bio on her website states that "She is gifted with an airy voice that burrows all the way into your bones. Whether you like it or not." Creepy. Somewhat true, I suppose.
VII. London based TĀLĀ released "The Duchess" a little while ago; it's filled with synths, hypnotic vocals, and handclaps––and according to Wikipedia, tāla actually means "clap" in Sanskrit. Be on the lookout for the A-side "Serbia" to be released soon.
VIII. Brazilian musician Rodrigo Amarante is part of Los Hermanos, Orquesta Imperial, and Little Joy, but just released his first solo album, Cavalo, in Brazil last year. Whether or not you decide brush up on your Portuguese, it's being released stateside on May 6.
