Elite Gymnastics - Ruin 1 & 2

Elite Gymnastics is 2 guys from Minneapolis. These 2 EPs are hard to describe, but even after a quick listen, it is easy to be in awe of its well produced mix of influences. Their music is not only an exercise of style though. They really know how to make some well crafted pop songs. The structure of the 2 parts is also interesting: the second half is composed of alternative takes of the tracks from the first part. And the download comes with a beautiful digital booklet with the lyrics. They sure know how to please the listener!



It's been awhile

I'm reviving this blog. Please follow it regularly!

Tokimonsta - Midnight Menu

Midnight Menu is the debut LP from Tokimonsta, another member of the wonky/electronic/hip hop/whatever squad from Los Angeles. This is what J Dilla would sound like if he was still alive and trying to make dubstep beats.


T-ara - Absolute First Album

Korea makes some of the finest pop music. Here is the first full length album from T-ara, a girl group who blends techno-pop and hip hop perfectly.
