Vacationer: "Trip" Part Deaux

[mp3] "Trip" Body Language Remix

It was Vacationer's song "Trip" that first appeared on our radar in April of 2011, along with a mysterious tropical video. After signing to Downtown last year, and releasing their debut album recently, we were sent the newest incarnation of "Trip" shot with cool analog techniques, that gives a new flavor to the visuals.

New Lissy Trullie: "Madeleine"

[mp3] Lissy Trullie: "Madeleine" 

It's been too long since we've heard from the excellent songwriter Lissy (not Lissie) Trullie. After a series of great singles, a hit Hot Chip cover and a stellar EP, Trullie today released the new single "Madeleine" from her forthcoming self-titled debut for Downtown out March 6th and produced by John Hill (Santigold, M.I.A., Shakira) and David Sitek (TV On the Radios, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Liars). While "Madeleine" is not as sharp and edgy as we expected from Trullie, it's melodic and rich in texture with just the right elements of NY grime. Very much looking fwd to this new release.
