Animal Collective are readying the release of ‘Monkey Been to Burn Town,’ a remix EP featuring reworked versions of tunes from their 2012 full-length ‘Centipede Hz.’ They’ve also added a bunch of dates to their upcoming summer tour with Dan Deacon, including a newly announced show in Portland, Maine, on July 11.
Contrary to what you might think, The Cast of Cheers are not from Boston. They're from Ireland -- which, for Bostonians, basically means they're from the real thing. Their music is also the real thing -- the band has been storming the U.K. music world with their first singles. The quartet recorded its first album, 'Chariot,' by itself in 3 days, subsequently putting it up on BandCamp for free, where it received over 150,000 downloads and netted them a nomination at the U.K.'s Choice Music Awards.
-- The Frank Ocean jam 'Thinking About You' has been reworked by Flying Lotus into a new tune titled 'Binge Eating Without You' that features Ocean's vocals pitched up several octaves -- which is probably both just about as weird as and way cooler than it sounds on paper.
You wouldn't think that a glamorous, chart-topping, Grammy-winning jazz piano player would have a ton in common with a plucky little Swedish indie band, would you? Neither did we, until we learned of a new remix of Norah Jones' 'Miriam' by Peter Bjorn and John.
It's been a long time since we've been treated to a new album from Cat Power -- four years since the all-covers album 'Jukebox' album dropped, a long half-dozen years since the originals-only 'The Greatest' -- so fans of Chan Marshall can be forgiven for being impatient for the Aug. 31 arrival of 'Sun.'
Major Lazer is the dancehall-infused side project of Philadelphia-based producer and DJ Diplo, while No Doubt, of course, are the West Coast alt-rock band with a tendency to branch out into punk, ska, New Wave, reggae and, yes, even dancehall. Put the two together and what do you get? How about the Major Lazer remix of 'Settle Down,' the lead single off No Doubt's first album in more than a decade.
Imagine Dragons continue to tear up the charts with 'It's Time,' the first single off their debut EP, 'Continued Silence,' and the Sin City-based indie rockers now have a handful of remixes to go along with the original.
M.I.A. recently unveiled a new remix of her song ‘Bad Girls,’ produced by Switch and featuring hip-hop artists Missy Elliott and Rye Rye.
