Each and every week we put together our favorite tracks that had premiered a few days prior into one magnificent mixtape to share with you and your friends. This time around we've decided to share new songs from Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre, Neon Indian, Creepoid and more right here!
Check out the latest in entertainment news right here!
One of the biggest releases of this past week was, of course, a leaked track from the highly anticipated new Dr. Dre album that we've all been waiting for. It's a collaboration with the hip-hop world's biggest new talent, Kendrick Lamar, entitled "2 Night." You know it'll be taken down soon, so check out this hot new number RIGHT HERE while you still can!
"Cherry Picking" is the latest song from Girlpool, and it is exactly what fans of the Philadelphia-based lo-fi rock n' rollers could appreciate. It's definitely not a rocking number like the kind we're used to, but this new drawn-back indie-rock number has our toes a tappin'! Check out this great new track right here:
Without moving out of Philadelphia, we have another great new track from shoegazers Creepoid. We're not ashamed of how much we love Creepoid, so we're so excited that one of our favorite bands released one of our favorite songs of the year this week. "Shaking" is the perfect title for this slow burner, which has a retro doo-wop feel mixed in with '90s grunge. This song will leave you ... well, shaking! Take a listen right here:
We love sharing new covers and other forms of reimagining tunes in whatever form, but we're very excited to share Billie Marten's acoustic cover of Royal Blood's "Out of the Black." This 16-year-old singer-songwriter is breaking our heart with this stripped down take on the blues number from the British rock duo. Explore the depths of how a cover can completely change the feel of a song right here!
Perhaps more "on the nose" covers took place this week as well when Refused shared their version of Black Flag's "My War" and Fugazi's "Bed for the Scraping" at a secret show this past week. Check out live videos of these covers right here!
We feel like it's been way too long since we've heard from Neon Indian. Luckily, the Alan Palomo project shared the new song "Annie" this week, which will definitely satisfy your electronic, indie pop needs for quite some time. Listen to this catchy number right here:
Son Lux is definitely one of the more interesting and creative bands out there today, and this week's release, "You Don't Know Me" is clear evidence of this. Without being too polarizing in its composition, this new song is "out there," but still has a pop sense to it. Take a listen and get hooked right here!
It's always exciting to hear new tunes from Mr. Twin Sister, but this week's latest, "The Erotic Book" is definitely one that will stick out in 2015. Mixing their '80s influences with the modern experimentation, this song is definitely going to get you excited for more of the band's upcoming recordings. Have a listen right here:
RIYL: Belle and Sebastian, The Cure, WHAM!
Oberhofer is back! 2015 holds the sophomore release of one of the most promising bands of the last 5 years with Chronovision, due out this August on Glassnote Records. Frontman Brad Oberhofer showcases his signature mix of early indie-rock influence and melodic, guitar-heavy pop numbers. Listen to "Memory Remains" for a reminder of why Oberhofer is one of the best bands out of the Brooklyn music scene:
RIYL: The Killers, Real Estate
We recommend this new mixtape for those dealing with the strange pre-summer weather that's sweeping our nation! Whether you're drowning in flood warnings or thirsting for an end to a drought, this new mix of songs is sure to lift your spirits!
