Here is the video for Sleigh Bells new single “Comeback Kid”. Its the first official video from their second album Reign of Terror, which is due in stores February 14th; thats Valentines day. The video features Alexis Kruss singing and hoping on a bed with rifles, guns and guitars. Its appropriately loud, raucous and full of energy like anything you’d expect from Sleigh Bells. And yes, Derek is wearing a Nirvana T-shirt. Very badass
Enjoy the video over at MTV
It’s an understatement to say that 2011 has been an amazing year for Donald Glover. Besides being one of the stars in the critically acclaimed NBC comedy Community, Glover has also had a very successful music career under the moniker Childish Gambino; a name he generated from the online Wu-Tang name generator. Childish Gambino has been releasing a steady stream of free music since 2008, but 2011 will see the release of his first official studio LP -under independent label Glassnote Records- titled Camp. Where as his previous releases consisted of him rapping over various indie rock instrumentals (I am Just a Rapper 1 & 2), or a directionless collection of good songs (Culdesac), Camp is a coherent album, built from the ground up (with sole production by Glover himself, and friend/composer Ludwig Goransson) with the intent of telling a story. The use of violins, a choir and a stadium sized “arena rock” sound, coupled with Gambino’s sincere lyrics sets the stage for an engaging album.
Hot on the heels of his signing to Glassnote Records, Childish Gambino releases his first single, a song drenched in Gambino’s trade mark bravado, quick wit and explosive punch lines. Throw in a stadium sized beat and you’ve got yourself a “Bonfire” Continue Reading →
Lotus Flower, the lead (and probably only) Single from Radiohead’s 8th Studio Album The King of Limbs is a steady, atmospheric tune. With a Black and White music video to accompany it, Lotus Flower is an instant classic that won’t be forgotten soon Continue Reading →
