Chromeo

“Don’t Turn The Lights On,” is Chromeo's next entrant to the repertoire, and the second single from the forthcoming third LP Business Casual. The track is masterfully mixed with electro-banged out beats underlying the ’80s synth-pop and guitar funk that Chromeo is known for but with a bit of a step back from the traditional dance floor anthems. its a bit of a different feel for Chromeo but completely catchy and fun as always.

Buffalo Moon

Minneapolis based Buffalo Moon at first listen might mistake you for some 1960 surf pop dream. With the sweet vocals of Karen Freire, "Beach Boy" is an absolute must have for your summer playlist. It's completely innocent and light and simply refreshing. Collectors can purchase their limited edition cassette titled Wetsuit out now on Moon Glyph Records. We hope this track sets you into the weekend on a euphoric and chilled out note.

Karen Elson

Check out "The Ghost Who Walks" by Karen Elson, below. Karen recently released debut album The Ghost Who Walks via XL Recordings and is slowly garnishing some buzz, deservingly so. We think you will enjoy this track. Especially if listened to on a dark gloomy night.

Their list of covers artists is impressive: In addition to Tegan & Sara, they’ve recruited Scarlett Johansson , Holly Miranda , Deradoorian , Alia Shawkat, and  Amanda Palmer .

Shazam

We are in a summer mood today. And that is why we have to play you "Pool Party" by Shazam. The track name couldn't have been titled any better. It's disco and dance and if fun party music was a genre, this would be it. Hit play, close your eyes, and transport to a beautiful beach party in Cabo or something like that.

Death Cab For Cutie Remix

Below, check out the Bachelors Of Science remix for "Brothers On A Hotel Bed" by Death Cab For Cutie. It's probably not the kind of remix you'd expect but it a simple way, it kind of works. It's no Postal Service, but it's still something fresh. And on a side note, Death Cab seem to be working on a new record. That we are totally excited for. But for now, this will have to do.

Tennis

From Denver, CO and signed to fantastic record label, Underwater Peoples, we bring you Tennis. Tennis is Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore, a husband/wife duo, who spend eight months sailing and exploring the North Atlantic coast, while writing music together documenting their experiences. The outcome is infectious pop that sounds like it could be from multiple decades, recorded lo-fi, and totally fantastic.
