[Electro-Pop] PROM – Flickers

Posted by Brooke Ferguson - September 15, 2014

PROM is a band
Flickers

There is something truly beautiful about today, everyone, and despite the 100 degree weather we are currently sitting through at 7: 45 in the evening, we have found comfort in this disgusting heat. Helping us find solace in the midst of our dripping sweat is Brooklyn duo, Ella Zoller and Gabriel Stanley (who collectively make up the band PROM). These two surprised us all and left us without words after stumbling upon their newly released song, “Flickers” (produced by Dave Weingarten). Bursting with vibrant instrumentals, spine-tingling melodies, powerful percussive elements, and a ying and yang effect to balance out Ella and Gabriel’s stunning vocals, “Flickers” is an enchanting piece of art that is bound to make you smile from ear to ear. PROM took an impressive leap into some of the most cutting and rewarding subgenres of electro-pop to which these two create a divine synchronicity within their harmonies.

“Flickers” essentially left us without words and we presume you might endure the same response. So prepare your heart to conduct a symphony for your mind and let these beautiful frequencies take you to new heights.

Every once in a while you discover a group you like so much that you keep finding out more about them while wearing a smile on your face. Here we have this husband-wife indie pop duo called Tape Waves from South Carolina who bring us a gem off of their debut album Let You Go, titled “Ready Now.”

Don’t let their quirkiness and lack of intimidation fool you–they masterfully handled this selection of dream pop tunes. The mellow instrumentals match perfectly with the female vocals, which are both muffled and sustained for the dreamy and psychedelic effect. Their music is makes you feel good and want to lay back and relax. They stay true to their musical roots by bringing in fun and peaceful vibes from their hometown and into their music, expressing their lifestyle through lyrical and melodic maneuvers.

Go get a copy of their album and judge for yourself. Tape Waves are definitely a group to watch and one for all the music enthusiasts out there.

You’re not a real music blog until you post hundreds and hundred of Sia tracks, let’s keep that going tonight. There’s no denying that the Aussie vixen is having the best year of her career however it’s all too easy for the new listener to assume that Sia was born for the Top 40. If you are really trying to get into Sia; we urge you to dig into her earlier indie works, they are are sensational. That being said, “Chandelier” is the talk of the town and therefore has received its own fair share of remix treatment. After combing through the haystack, we have found this gem by Addal. Stepping outside of genre lines and instead going for the more emotional, cinematic approach, this remix by the Frenchman showcases Sia’s true vocal talent and changes the mood from Top 40 radio hit about partying to an intimate record about partying.

As we enter the second day of our Blogathon, it has become apparent that the ninjas here at TMN have been doing a fantastic job at finding you the best tunes on the internet. Having only slept a total of 9 hours in 2 days, I, personally, have been digging and digging to find some presentable tunes. With my morning coffee poured and my mind a little bit sharper, it’s time to share with you the latest from Los Angeles producer, Dirty South and his STUNNING new track, “With You feat. FMLYBND”. Now, before we dive into this one, we just have to let you ninjas know that this song unexpectedly sucked us into a tornado full of emotion. It’s so refreshing to hear two artists from different genres come together and produce such soothing frequencies to create both a lyrically moving and internally pleasing end result.

I breathe in – feel the light,

soak in with you

It’s evident that Dirty South is stepping into new territories with his latest productions and “With You” is auditory proof that we have reached that important landmark in dance music where we aren’t hearing “bangers” as much, but instead are being blasted with intrinsically satisfying works of art. This is easily the best song we could think of to get you up and going for the day, so press play and soak into these delectable sound waves for the remainder of the day.

Pre-order Dirty South’s new album, With You, which is set to release later this year.
