[MP3 Playlist] Indie Dojo (March 2012 Round #4)

Spring has finally arrived in the States. The epitome of sunshine and rainbows. The time when the foliage rises from the dead and the music begins to sing to the tune of “let’s frolic along the seaside hand in hand” instead of “I’m trapped in a log cabin, cold and depressed”. But we know that the entire world doesn’t experience the same climate all at the same time, so we promise not to bombard you with seasonal playlists. We’ll keep it like an emergency kit. Conveniently available to weather any storm or heat wave.

[Electro] The Shoes – Time To Dance (SebastiAn Remix)

Its time once again to bring you some groovy dance music from France.The Shoes have been making inspired indie pop for a while now and their latest single “Time To Dance” out on Southern Fried Records is yet another infectious groove with letter call and response that brings to mind Justice’s D.A.N.C.E. We are happy to see a ton of new out put and a new live show in the works for Ed Banger electro kingpin SebastiAn. In his typical swagger he slowed up the tempo and beefed up the drums and bass into proper electro form with his remix. If you are as much of a fan of SebastiAn as we are you might want to pick up his latest single “Love in Motion” with remixes from Rustie and Skrillex available on the French iTunes here. You can also check out the rest of the remixes on this release in the player below. Bon!

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros – Man On Fire

Everyone’s favorite eleven piece hippie folk outfit, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros have just released a stream of new single ‘Man On Fire’, our first preview of their new album, ‘Here’, which drops on May 29th via Vagrant Records. ‘Man On Fire’ seems more restrained than the band’s hugely accessible recent anthem ‘Home’, but still has all the makings of a sing-a-long campfire classic.

[Indie Dance] Gemini Club – By Surprise

Gemini Club are an up and coming three piece indie electronica band from Chicago. Bridging the gap between live instrumentation and electronic music is always a delicate art but these guys make it seem effortless. The way they blend traditional indie style vocals with new school midi chopped vocal snippets is just one of the many ways Gemini Club merges traditional styles with cutting edge production techniques. They also insure that each live show is unique through actively remixing. All in all this is an exciting new project in the indie dance scene and we can’t wait to hear their debut EP “Here We Sit” available for preview and pre-order here. Enjoy this uplifting single “By Surprise” which showcases the unique vocal techniques and driving rhythms that make this band shine.

[Cover] Saint Saviour- Midnight City (M83)

Saint Saviour‘s latest offering is a cover of M83‘s smash hit “Midnight City”. The track is driven by a dual synth arrangement that feels right at home over a driven but simplistic beat that almost crosses into the realm hip hop with its punchiness. The breathy, high pitched vocals, delivered by a Ms. Jones do well to capture the feel of the song and are on point the whole time. This track should get the buzz going for Saint Saviour- set to release their new album, Union, and single “I Call This Home” in the very near future. Stream their cover of “Midnight City” below.

[Indie] Roman Ruins- Homebuilding

Roman Ruins is the solo project of 31 year old Graham Hill (Beach House, Papercuts). When the Oakland based singer/songwriter is not designing architecture or creating tangible landscapes in real life, he sets to work with music. Layer after layer is added to Hill’s tracks, queueing one another and tempting sets of tracks to become full songs. In February of 2012 the extent of hill’s work ethic was realized by way of a 10 song full length titled Homebuilding- a release that has been earning him a lot of deserved attention.

While the whole album flows from start to finish; songs like “Mighty Love”, “Wildflower”, and “Lights Out” really shine.
