Blog Highlight: Oh My Rock

I thought I'd give these guys a shout-out. They've dug up some amazing tracks (particularly remixes) that have provided a soundtrack to my life for the past couple weeks. Right out of Brasil,  they have impeccable taste and serious style. Check it out here.
Some recently  highlighted tracks:

1. Theme Park-Two Hours (RAC Remix)

2. KO KO-Float

3. The Naked and Famous-Young Blood (Tiesto & Hardwell Remix)
(If you aren't dancing to this track I'm inclined to believe you haven't a heart.)

4. Yaesayer-Henrietta

5. Little Dragon-Ritual Union (Bufi Remix)

Alto-Vocable

I heard these guys (er, girls) play a little while back and they were incredible, to say the least! If the Punch Brothers had an upbeat rock sister-band, Alto would be it. They just released their debut track, "Vocable", to stream and download for free. Beautiful vocals, a catchy melody, and just a dash of bluegrass make this a track you will have on repeat for a while. They've been working in the studio recently, so be on the lookout for more new material in the future.

Marina and The Diamonds-Electra Heart

Easily said that I've fallen head over Louis Vuitton Odeon heels for Marina And The Diamonds sophomore album "Electra Heart" (what I've heard of it, at least). The US release date is still undeclared, but there are 6 or 7 tracks floating around out there that are killer, not to mention some seriously smooth remixes. If there was ever a diva out there to give Lady Gaga a run for her money, it's Marina Diamandis. The thing that really gets me? Her dangerous low range-it's an internal combustion of sound and ultimately makes me want to sing in a British accent for the rest of my life. I encourage you all to find your inner Primadonna and give Marina a listen.

Purity Ring-Obedear

Something tells me Purity Ring and I have something in common, and it's that we've both been digging Grimes music. Ethereal, intangible vocals that you hear all over Grimes latest album "Visions" are making appearances in Purity Ring's latest track "Obedear", and it suits them well. It also looks like their long awaited debut album will be out July 24th.
Have some tunes:

Purity Ring-Obedear

Grimes-Genesis

Dragonette-Let It Go

Feast your ears on Dragonette's new super-pop dance anthem "Let It Go". I dare you to sit still. It may start out with a synthy chord progression that sounds a little too reminiscent of Miami Horror's "Sometimes" for comfort, but it evolves into something different quickly enough (a really good something, at that).
