Let’s Colour Project commercial: Jónsi’s “Go Do”

Jónsi recently licensed his song “Go Do” off his stellar solo debut, Go (our review here), for use in a new commercial (Dulux Walls Ad) for the Let’s Colour Project. The Let’s Colour Project is a worldwide initiative for local communities to paint schools, streets, homes, and squares. My words will probably get in the… Continue reading Let’s Colour Project commercial: Jónsi’s “Go Do”

Hands release video for “Hold”

L.A. based Hands just released the music video for “Hold”, their first official HIT single, which we covered some time ago. The video is a complete reinterpretation of the song. Hands wrote “Hold” with the theme of having a constantly changing perspective on life, whereas the video, conceptualized and directed by two University students in Germany… Continue reading Hands release video for “Hold”

In Case You Missed It: Week In Review

Did you enjoy your short week? We sure did! The heat stayed around but our whining ceased (well, mostly). You may have missed Knox Road this week due to, oh I dunno, taking too many xanax to deal with Bron Bron’s DECISION. Or you were arguing about how Friday Night Lights didn’t get enough Emmy… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week In Review

Phenomenal Video Saturday: DeVotchKa

Welcome, minions, to Phenomenal Video Saturday. I’m using the video I have this week to make a point. A very important one, too. See, there’s a school of thought out there of people who saw Little Miss Sunshine, a fine film, and latched onto DeVotchKa‘s “How it Ends,” the song that begins the movie. The… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: DeVotchKa

Glass Animals

Glass Animals, from London and the Southeast UK, have a comforting, unique sound. Their ability to mix experimental, electronic samples with accessible rhythms is not an easy feat. The music is at once tranquil and calming, but the grooves-driven sound gives Glass Animals a great deal of swagger. Dave Bayley is the leading man behind… Continue reading Glass Animals

[MP3] Arran Arctic: “The Door”

“The Door” is Arran Arctic‘s latest single, the first off his forthcoming album, In My Hands, and comes as a major change from the artist about whom I previously wrote, “The hushed vocals breed such a profound tranquility”. Not so anymore. The general tone of the music has changed gears from quieter folk to peppy… Continue reading [MP3] Arran Arctic: “The Door”

[MP3] Beat Radio covers Best Coast’s “When I’m With You”

Beat Radio, aka Brian Sendrowitz (aka someone you better know if you read Knox Road!) has covered Best Coast‘s, aka Bethany Cosentino’s, breezy “When I’m With You” for his latest singles 2010 project. The sound is even more raw with Sendrowitz’s croon, and he’s releasing it at the perfect time, as Best Coast has been leaving… Continue reading [MP3] Beat Radio covers Best Coast’s “When I’m With You”

[MP3] Panda Riot: “Northern Automatic Music”

Of course this would happen. Mere hours after I profiled Panda Riot‘s dream pop (mind you, that post was just yesterday), I discovered a song they completed last week. It’s a special track made exclusively for Crash Avenue‘s July compilation, Guerilla vs. Bear. (Chris’ legend continues to grow! Note: the two are not connected.) Anyway, the… Continue reading [MP3] Panda Riot: “Northern Automatic Music”
