Crystal Castles :: Plague
Care for some new Crystal Castles? Yea figured you wouldn't mind. Ran into their track "Plague" the other day as I was doing a little blog run. Seems it was just released a couple days ago. It's pretty much classic them with their trademark soft/heavy sound. Pretty sweet track. Not sure if it will be included in their upcoming album or not, but they are offering it as a free download which is awful kind of them, so best get to downloading.

Moon Boots :: Sugar
French Express has been on a roll lately. Perseus, Chris Malinchak and now Moon Boots, who's latest track "Sugar" is a nu-disco gem. Is that Janet Jackson vocals I hear? If this track doesn't make you wanna get up and dance you might wanna check your pulse cause you might be dead. Best part is they are offering the track as a free download. Right on time for some weekend dancing. Get to it...

Hot Chip :: Look At Where We Are (Video/Major Lazer Remix)
Really digging the the new Hot Chip album 'In Our Heads' which I'm sure will be topping many best of lists when December comes along. They just released a new video directed by Danny Perez for their latest single "Look At Where We Are" which would be considered a ballad for them. Great track/video! They also got the remix treatment for the track by Major Lazer. Not a big fan of theirs, but they did a good job of turning the track into a reggae jam and are rather subdued about it. Check out the goods below. Finger's crossed that my fave track "In Chains" will be the next single.

The Raveonettes :: She Owns The Streets (Video)
Great news everyone! Danish duo The Raveonettes have just released the first video from their upcoming and much anticipated new album Observator (out September 11) for the track "She Owns The Streets". The the track is the second single released from the upcoming album and the track/video, shot in NYC, is based on the star of the video, a New York street dancer. Really enjoying everything I'm hearing and seeing from this new album so far! Keep them coming Raveonettes!

Chris Malinchak :: Beside Me
New Chris Malinchak track? Yes please! Love this dude. His latest track "Beside Me" is another gorgeous groovy nu disco tune. This time we have some lovely female vocals which I assume is the girl in the art work above, but I could be wrong. Anyways it's a great track that will work equally great lounging by a pool this summer or on a dance floor near you. Check it out below and if you like what you hear it's free to download! Sweeeet, enjoy...

Theater of Delays :: XX (Remix)
One of our favorite remixers Theater of Delays is back with another solid remix. This time he remixed the new XX single "Angels". Not really loving the new XX track (too mellow for my taste), but this Theater of Delays remix is just right. Giving the track the right amount of uumph and movement that it needed. Check it out below and if you like what you hear it's free to download. Keep up the good work Mr. Delay!

The Belligerents :: She Calls The Shots (EP)
Posted about Australian band The Belligerents and their amazing track "Infatuation" last year here. Well the boys are back with a new EP called 'She Calls The Shots' and she certainly knows what she's doing, whomever she may be. Check out the new single/video for "Steal Money". Another great indie pop/rock gem from the Aussie boys. Sample the rest of EP below as well.

Zonen :: Resan Mot Psykets Brytpunkt
You might remember experimental electronic Swedish band Zonen that we posted about last year here. The boys have a new album out called 'Resan Mot Psykets Brytpunkt' and just like their first one it continues with their eerie movie soundtrack vibe that they do so well. Seriously they are like a modern day reincarnation of Goblin. Someone should hire these guys to score their next horror movie. I have no doubt they would do a fabulously frightening job.
Check out a couple of my favorite tracks below and if you like what you hear you can sample the rest of the release on their bandcamp where you can pick up the whole thing as a name your own price option which can also include $0, but why not drop them a few bucks for all their hard work.

Elton John Vs PNAU :: Good Morning to the Night
Must be nice to have famous friends like Elton John. Australian duo PNAU who Elton John is a big fan of and signed them to his label gave them access to his 70'-76' catalog of material for the duo to re-work in their own vision and so far everything I've heard is pretty amazing! The first video/track I saw for the project was "Sad" and I was blown away! Gorgeous re-work/video and I'm not even a big Elton John fan. What their doing with these tunes is pretty special. The album was just released yesterday and is called "Good Morning to the Night". You can buy the album through various outlets off their site.
Check out the goods below as well as the track listing with all the Elton originals they used for each. Pretty impressive...

MagicHour
Back from vacay! Did you miss me? I sure needed that, nothing like taking a vacation to clear your head and re-energize you. Well let's get right back into it shall we...
Got sent these two great electronic tracks "Light Falls" and "White Sun Re-Vision" by Colin from Walter Meego's new side project MagicHour. Magic indeed!

TRAILS AND WAYS :: Miracle (Split-Single) + Nunca (Remix)
Summer has been beyond hot, and with little time to make it to any nautical activities I've relied much on Oakland California's, Trail and Ways (posted before here). Their new placid poppy track 'Nunca' has been in my rotation for the last month, a great summer grab for free here. Now their back for the second half of the summer with 'Miracle', a dreamy beach going split-single with Ghost Beach. With crowd chants weaved in and their bassist Emma singing a beautiful verse in spanish, this track will have you believing you definitely just took a running jump off that pier into the ocean. Need to dance? You'll be taken care of by Ghost Beach's remix to 'Nunca' in which you'll loose yourself in the 80's dance synths, striking drum beats, and splendid electronically mangled vocal hooks. If your digging these 3 tracks be sure to check out Trail and Way's Soundcloud and Facebook, you'll find more free treats!
The Raveonettes :: Observations
The Raveonettes have recently released this great new bleak shoegazey single "Observations" which is the lead track off their upcoming album Observator, due out in September. I've long been a fan of the consistently solid, dark, cali-surf-style shoegaze these guys keep putting out, and this stays true to their form. Look forward to hearing much more from this album in the months to come, and for now, enjoy this track which they've made available as a freebie!

The Magician :: Magic Tape 24 (DJ Mix)
New Magician DJ Mix anyone? Yea figured you wouldn't mind, especially since the weekend is upon us. His latest mix #24 as everything he touches is pretty much magic and will surely get you in a dancing mood. Didn't see a tracklisting on his soundcloud so you might have to just enjoy the mix/music, which is fine by me. Enjoy and have a fab weekend everyone!
P.S. I will going on a much needed vacation next week from July 9th to the 13th to Puerto Rico. So won't be posting next week, but hopefully the crew can hold the fort till I get back. Till then it's rest, relaxation and tropical drinks for me :) See ya when I get back...

Starcat :: Eyes
Don't have much info on Starcat, except that he is a long time reader of OTR and it seems he might be based out of our home state of Florida from a reference I noticed on his bandcamp page, but one thing's for sure he's one talented fellow! Loving the track he sent our way "Eyes" which is an instrumental dreamwave track that I can hear over and over. Really lovely tune. Check it out below and if you like what you hear it's free for the taking. Keep up the good work SC, meow!

If this is just their first track we are excited to see what else they will have in store for us in the months/years to come. Good to have you on our Radar.

The first taste of the new album is first single "The Theory of Relativity" and if this is any indication of what's to come with the new record we are in for a treat!

Summer Camp :: Always
UK indie pop duo Summer Camp that we've written about a couple of times before most recently here are getting ready to release New EP Always.
