Oh...this song....it's by Noah and the Whale
It's called 'The First Day of Spring' and its a real beauty....its got that National/mercury rev/mazzy star sound: a dusty, whiskey soaked, lonely-motel-in-the-desert vibe. It comes from the new album of the same name. I hope you enjoy it!

Im totally loving the spacey disco resurgence at the moment - and here's an absolute cosmic classic from 32 years ago to show how it's done

mp3: Space - Magic Fly

two nice remixes of hot aussie band Cut Copy

mp3: Cut Copy - Hearts on Fire (Joakim Remix)

mp3: Cut Copy - Lights & Music (Moulinex remix)

mp3: Kleerup - Until we Bleed (feat. Lykke Li)

Lovely electro-pop by Kleerup, a producer from Stockholm, and featuring one of bloglands hottest chanteuse, Lykke Li - also from Stockholm, and probably eating some form of dried fish and listening to death metal as we speak (or was that the Finnish?)

She also sounds alot like Kate Havnevik, who came to my attention originally through Royksopp's 2005 album, The Understanding, on this track

mp3: Royksopp - What Else is There?

and as a little Brucey Bonus, here's a rather nice track of her own:

mp3: Kate Havnevik - New Day

which sounds alot like this......one of the most beautiful records I can think of....with a video to match...

BJORK -ALL IS FULL OF LOVE

mp3: Telefon Tel Aviv -Mostly Translucent

Telefon Tel Aviv is a Chicago-based electronic music group.

Formed in 1999, their first album was released in the fall of 2001. The group just released its third full length album on January 20, 2009 on the BPitch Control label. Band member Charles Cooper passed away shortly thereafter on January 22, 2009.

This tune is like much of their work, dark, spacy and, as the title says - mostly translucent...
