LocAl fLAvor: Breakfast "True Love Waits"

Fierce, beautiful, well-orchestrated all aptly describe Breakfast's "True Love Waits" - but nothing does it justice like the song itself.  The deeply emotional ballad belted by the beautiful Andrea Adolph is enhanced by dramatic accordion and perfectly peppered ivory and ebony.

The clap breakdown is charming and cute, as is these seemingly young artists opining about how true love waits.  Does it?

New Heat: FIND MY WAY by MIND THE GAP

Hopefully you've been watching your step in the music game in early 2013 - because then you might already be familiar with Mind The Gap and their edgy bouncy electronic pop rock single "Find My Way."  To celebrate their ballsy anthem - they released a performance video yesterday and made the song available in exchange for an e-mail address on their website  www.mindthegapsound.com.  Teenagers to 30 somethings filled with angst about life need this track on their mobile phone, ipod and computer STAT - it speaks directly to the struggles we've all experienced trying to figure this thing called life out and the song beats hard and f'ing pops!



"Find My Way" is the first single off of MTG's forthcoming EP Youth due out sometime later in 2013.  If this track portends what the rest of their EP is like - I'm expecting fierce and energetic dopeness in a diverse package.   And why shouldn't I have that expecation?  MTG may be able to lay claim to the title "most diverse rock band" as they're a truly unique quartet spearheaded by a Jewish vocalist from the suburbs of Cleveland, OH, and backed by Sri Lankan hip-hop producer, a Mexican guitarist/producer and a Korean songwriter.   Not only does their diversity make a statement - their musicianship and on-stage chemistry truly validates the famous Abdul line "opposites attract" and evidences that sometimes the best content comes in the most unlikely and colorful of packages.  

You can catch MTG performing at The Hotel Cafe on February 15th, but check their website for updates as there will likely be a few other performances popping up and peep the video below with the filthy remixed outro....

Disco Nap All Day!

Between being a music trend setting pioneer, co-owner of a label and a digital master of ceremonies on decks everywhere, A-Trak somehow managed to record a handful of new bangers to add to his setlists.  

The bass he found is stinky like fish and the tracks are hot enough to melt your finest Emmentaler, so the EP is appropriately titled Tuna Melt.  The best track IMO, "Disco Nap," makes my subs purr like they're having a wet dream.   




Tuna Melt also features Tommy Trash, GTA, Oliver and Galantis.   Grab it here via i-tunes or stream it from Fool's Gold's Soundcloud.

"It Was All A Dream" - Kosha Dillz

Drawing from the legacy of MLK and sampling from the Notorious B.I.G. - bi-coastal rapper Kosha Dillz verbally paints a canvas of an alternate reality in "It Was All A Dream."  The songs speaks truth ("Mom says some things never change, when I grow up somethings might not be the same...") - but one thing is for certain, a song with a Biggie sample is usually worth listening to.
