Neon Indian, the Alan Palomo project outside of VEGA, is gaining momentum with the announcement of the release of Neon Indian’s first LP Psychic Chasms on October 13, 2009. Palomo teamed up with video artist Alicia Scardetta who makes up the other half of Neon Indian. I think it’ll be safe to say we can expect something special at their live shows.

Hazy synths and dusty sounds, “Terminally Chill” continues down the same path Neon Indian has led us down from the beginning.

The Hood Internet hooked My Gold Mask up with some Roxy Music for their “Bitches.” Love Roxy Music but like the original it is the siren like chanting that wins over the ears.

We were introduced to Free Magic by way of his mixtape this past spring. Well Free Magic is back with a remix he crafted with Sapesifter for today the moon, tomorrow the sun. Great upbeat pop gem with some summer night disco undertones:

The most popular June downloads:

The next 2 songs have been a couple of my favs from the start of the year.

First the Flight Facilities remix of Japanese band The Lowbrows has piano, horn, and sexed up guitar to die for.

Secondly I have the UK’s C90’s remix of Headman’s new one “Dirt.” Dirt features Aussie vocalist Katrina Noorbergen from Sydney band Cassette Kids and is a gem. C90’s mix is the shit. Unfortunately I can only give you a 4 minute long edit (the original remix is 8 mins) but it still is enough to hear the brilliance. Headman’s Dreampiece/Dirt is out July 6th and features the originals, the C90s mix and a mix by the legendary Japanese producer Zongamin.

Lost Valentinos long awaited Cities of Gold album produced by Ewan Pearson is going to be released on September 4th. If you can’t wait until then the next single “Thief” will be out August 7th through etcetc. The remix by Nile Delta (Joel Belgium of Riot in Belgium and Comets fame) is quite superb. Looking forward to more from him.

Futurecop! – “Gateaux Blaster” (Jesus Juice Edit)

Tenderlions are an incredible duo that I’ve been trying to show some blog love to for quite a while. They are constantly working on something new and fresh. Concentrating more on the live show has been their main focus, and it’s a good thing because once these guys hit the big leagues their live show won’t disappoint. John’s live drums gives persona and a distinct quality that is clearly not smoke and mirrors, but a virtue of what a real band is all about. Evan’s live programming and knob twiddling is one that pays off and isn’t just there for show. Their tracks come off as a thunderstorm after a perfectly sunny day, although unexpected it is truly a sight to hear and see, and reason enough to get off the couch. San Francisco is definitely ready for a big change and a new vibe and these guys are it. They are the frozen lemonade at the summer street festival. I just hope they don’t get swallowed up. These two are and will remain some of the biggest reasons this city will always stay close to my heart.

Here is a track that will work the fuck out of your ears, get the ice pack ready.

Burns has another original out the gate. “Heatbeats” is a little less grittier than his previous work. There is more an emphasis on melody, maybe even some dream wave influences on the track. But it still packs some heavy punches so maybe we should call it dream rave, oi. Anyway, “Heartbeats” is definitely a warmer weather track… perfect for the sweaty nights ahead:

Marina and the Diamonds – “I Am Not A Robot”

Marina (and, uh, the Diamonds) sports body paint and bedazzles for her new video, “I Am Not A Robot.” You already know the single is out on Neon Gold.

Edit savvy The Revenge has Part Three of the “Instruments of Rapture” series coming out soon. It features more pitched down house tunes from him and fellow Scotsman OOFT (they also run L.E.S.S productions). I was lucky enough to catch The Revenge when he was in Australia last month, and he didn’t disappoint. He keeps the bpms low, and it was truly weapon after weapon – nothing different from this latest release.
