Death From Above 1979



Death from Above 1979 were the Toronto-based duo of Jesse F. Keeler on bass/synths and Sebastien Grainger on vocals/drums. Refusing to employ a lead guitarist, they played loud synth infused noise funk, often referred to as dance punk on the drum and bass combination alone. Originally named just “Death From Above”, the duo changed their name after a legal dispute with New York City dance punk label Death From Above (known as DFA Records since the September 11, 2001 attacks). “Death from above” was written on a helicopter in the movie Apocalypse Now, which was copyrighted in 1979.

Neon Indian

This guy started off with a solo project named "VEGA" where he made some straightforward club beats. But while suffering from some sleep loss (oh dear) he wrote and recorded some songs and posted them anonymously. These then became incredibly popular and he adopted the name "neon indian" and is amazing. That is all. This is blissful 80's synth fuzz but so good you can listen to it for literally every second of every day. Just a few months ago I would never listen to stuff like this. Now i'm addicted. Neon Indian, along with other artists such as Toro Y Moi, Washed Out, Memory Tapes and many more, have basically invented a genre overnight (it's called chillwave you ignorant plebs)

Albert Hammond Jr. - Yours To Keep


Albert Hammond Jr. - Yours To Keep

The first, and in my opinion best, Strokes solo album. More like the band than Julian Casablancas' album. The best songs are "Everyone Gets A Star" and "In Transit"

Yours To Keep
