Dwntwn – Stood Me Up
Los Angeles trio Dwntwn make music for people in their twenties. On their debut EP, “Red Room”, the group uses dreamy synth-pop to explore how the power of lust can alter your grasp on reality, and the end result is pure perfection.
Check out their latest single “Stood Me Up” below.

Brett – Visions (The Soundmen Remix)
Vancouver’s weather as of late has awakened my emo sensibilities and made me miss those late-night sea wall walks with my imaginary bb. I’m hoping this dream-pop jam will make me feel better, if only for a little while.

MS MR – Candy Bar Creep Show EP
It would seem that New York duo MS MR are currently the Amanda Bynes of the indie music world. They first came onto my radar in early May, when their gothic pop-ballad Hurricane started trending on Tumblr. It quickly reached “Best New Track” status on Pitchfork and was remixed by Twin Shadow soon after.
In terms of background, not much is known about the mysterious MS MR but that actually works to their advantage. The duo’s dark lyrics compiled with the beauty of the lead singers voice sends you into a hyper reality. You become entranced by the words and quickly lose interest in who is actually singing them.
Fortunately for me, MS MR released their Candy Bar Creep Show EP on September 14th and it might just be the best thing I’ve heard all year. It’s just twisted enough to make you feel sane while still incorporating enough catchy beats to warm your soul. Go download it now, because it probably won’t be cool next month.

Beach House – Myths
Since it’s release, Teen Dreams has become a staple to any indie listener’s album diet. Two years since it’s release, the songs still feel refreshing and powerful, but another release would certainly be welcome. Beach House’s new track, Myths, picks up where they left off in a sonically familiar territory, but the mood of the lyrics is excitingly different.
Beach House’s new LP “Bloom” will be out on May 15th via Sub Pop.
