If Body Language breaks out like it has the potential to, the
Brooklyn-based four piece surely would owe a heavy debt to Passion Pit;
it’s a similar formula with the twist of adding a female vocalist …
although that feels but a step removed from Michael Angelakos’ signature
falsetto.
Help the world welcome the new Justice album with a pair of prog-tastic music vids.
There’s no denying the resounding influence of 1970s prog rock on Parisian electro-heads Justice (whom many have called the heirs to Daft Punk’s giant pyramid throne) and their much-anticipated second record, “Audio Video Disco,” which was released yesterday.
The two videos below do well to match the enormity of these new tracks, particularly “Civilization,” which literally has glowing, stampeding space buffalo trying to dodge falling boulders as the world falls apart. Glad to know that somebody other than Kanye West wants to bring back what bands like Yes and King Crimson loved about music.
Operating as Owl City, Adam Young gives such a hoot about his music that he does it all himself, but for the love of millions.

Electronica Stephen Carradini
Although Two Suns’ beats, synth and guitar compositions are heavily
electronic, it still feels as if electronics are just the foundation for
the melodies.

Being a jamtronica band, Oklahoma City act Montu is at the distinct
disadvantage of playing a style of music that simply works better in a
live setting than on a recording. Even so, Bloomis a solid
effort that never drags — thanks to brilliant pacing any working band
should note — and Montu steps over the hump, so to speak, and shows
there’s no need to confine its tunes to live consumption only.
