Real Estate

It's been a minute since we've heard any new recorded material from New Jersey suburban rockers Real Estate. Well, that minute's up - the band has a new 7", Out of Tune, out October 12 via True Panther. The release was recorded by Jarvis Taverniere of like-minded Brooklyn outfit Woods and will feature two new tunes, "Reservoir" and the title track, which features synth-drone capo Oneohtrix Point Never. You can check out the title track below.

Sacred Animals x Ghost Waves

Below, check out the lovely new Sacred Animals track, "Wired, Islands" as remixed by GhostWaves. Clearly pulling from influences like Grizzly Bear and Thom Yorke, the Dublin based band with help from Ghost Waves, is able to craft an undeniable ambient sound that works really well.

We Are Trees

We Are Trees is a Virgina Beach, Virginia 4-piece band that meticulously weave together beautiful acoustic, folk-pop melodies reminiscent of folks like Grizzly Bear and the Morning Benders. The project of songwriter James Nee, We Are Trees also features violinist Rocky Capizzi, cellist Pearl McReynolds and drummer Josiah Schlater. Their debut EP is titled Boyfriend, and it features four beautiful cuts built around lush, dramatic folk instrumentation founded on a bed of strings (cello and violin) alongside heavy tom drums and Nee’s dry, full vocals.

Dominant Legs

Capitalizing on newfound free-time, as a result of being laid off from his job as an office assistant, Ryan Lynch began to write the glittering ballads and blurred-out pop songs that, with the addition of Hannah Hunt, makes Dominant Legs. Dominant Legs' sincere and dance-y pop songs tap into a sound that is at once naively sweet and self-consciously tragic. Below, try "About My Girls" from the new Young at Love and Life EP, released yesterday.

Sound

Menomena

Menomena is back and on their third album, Mines, they have found their most comfortable sound yet. The Portland, OR based band signed to Barsuk takes experimental indie pop to a new level with below track, "Wet & Rusting." The band recently did Fallon, PitchforkTV... and now with a b!POP plug, we're sure this band is finally going to take off.

On tour throughout the entire Fall, keep this band on your back to school radar.

Teen Daze

It's been over a month since we've posted something Teen Daze related so it's time we change that. Below, enjoy a cover of Japandroids "Wet Hair" as done by Teen Daze. The track has those traditional washed out lofi qualities that we've consistently heard in the last few tracks, but with a new addition of a electro beat to keep the song pumping. We love it.

Brandon Biondo & Mat Cothran

Check out this ultra ultra lofi track from Brandon Biondo & Mat Cothran titled "Untitled." Mat is from the South Carolina based band, Coma Cinema, and Brandon has his own project, titled Walsh. Put the two together and you get one chilled-out strange track, perfect for a Friday.

Enjoy below, and click here for a video that the two put together for the track.

Chromeo x Aeroplane

Chromeo is back are getting ready to release new album, Business Casual, on September 14th. Poised to take over the world, the band leads the campaign with new track, "Don't Turn The Lights On" which we blogged about in June. To throw more fuel into the fire, Aeroplane took over the track with a nice remix heard below.

Local Natives x Blackbird Blackbird

It feels like every other day we hear a new remix of a Local Native track, and they always deliver. We're not even close to getting tired of it. This time, Local Natives track "Camera Talk" gets a dreamwave style remix from Blackbird Blackbird. Give it a listen below and you'll just slowly move to the beat. That's the sound that we love Blackbird Blackbird for.

Vampire Weekend x Miike Snow

Below, check out a great Miike Snow remix of "The Kids Don't Stand A Chance" by Vampire Weekend. The original track came from Vampire Weekend's 2008 self titled full length debut, that really put this band on the map. Miike Snow takes this track and gives it a bit more bounce, making for a very good remix. Enjoy.
