It’s always great to hear Kato step up from behind the production gear and bless the mic. This time around he’s completely switched things up and though it’s [...]

After teasing fans with a dramatic one-minute long MV preview, A Cube Entertainment has revealed the full music video for vocal extraordinaire Huh Gak’s new single, “I Told You I Want to Die.” “I Told …

Imagine the media as a hydraulic system: broadband has dramatically expanded the pipes and channels through which cultural data, including music, passes. The result has been a monstrous increase in the volume and range of music that the average listener can access. Before file-sharing, a music

Korean-German vocalist Valerie Trebeljahr used to perform the function of performing her own band’s foil. On Lali Puna’s last record — 2004’s Faking the Books, metallic guitars percolated through fuzzed-out

Kato – Love It’s always great to hear Kato step up from behind the production gear and bless the mic. This time around he’s completely switched things up and though it’s

The former first lady of the Philippines, Imelda Marcos, is perhaps best known for her shoes. 3,000 pairs, paid for on the public dime, were found by the angry mob who rushed her palatial residence after she fled the country in 1986.

It's a testament to how much great music Singapore's best known indie rockers have made that it has taken them three years to put together the definitive box set of their work. Or maybe it's a testament to what perfectionists they are. Humpback Oak's first box set, titled Oaksongs, comes with three

The votes have been tallied and we are happy to announce that Rosie and Me are MTV Iggy's Artists of the Week! Congratulations guys! The crazy sweet folk pop trio from Curitiba, Brazil will brighten MTV Iggy's homepage all week long, plus they'll get a shout out on MTVmusic.com. Rosie and Me are

When our favorite Frenchies, Phoenix rocked out for Germany's Muzik Express, they recorded acoustic versions of their typically synth-backed hits "Lisztomania" and "1901" -- and hey, they still sounded good (listen below). But what was more wondrous was their acoustic rendition of a song that has

Get Back Guinozzi's rendition of the "Police and Thieves" is the sonic equivalent of The Royal Tenenbaums. In their version the reggae-beat Clash classic, which featured on the Wes Anderson film's actual soundtrack, has been painted over in bubble-gum pink and backed up with the kind of kazoos you

One of our writers finds Floridian emcee Dominique Young Unique a tad bit intimidating, especially in her new "War Talk" video. But the people who really should be scared of her are all the other rappers. Her brand new Glamorous Touch mixtape ought to induce a rash of anxiety attacks among emcees

It certainly isn't the first time M.I.A. has worked with Jamaican dancehall. The Sri Lankan genre-skipper's last full length was recorded partly in Jamaica and Trinidad. And it seems she recently went back. A new track from dancehall standard Busy Signal's latest mixtape, Hottt Ed Turf! features an

Sweden's Club 8 dipped into the treasure trove of Ghanaian high-life and come up with this month's fabulous The People's Record -- proving they're not a one-note twee duo. Sure, there's still Karolina Komstedt's whispery, fragile vocals -- which instantly recall the blissed-out, lo-fi twee sound

"There isn't much that I feel I need," is how Animal Collective's summer mainstay "My Girls" starts out. What you DO need is Swedish songstress' Victoria Bergsman's cover, which shifts the lyrics to "My Boys." Under the moniker Taken by Trees, the former Concretes singer backs the once synth-y

Janka Nabay calls himself the "King of Bubu." And maybe other people will start calling him that, too. His debut album, titled King of Bubu, is out this Spring on hipster label True Panther records. So what is Bubu? Though based in "ancient Muslim Timini funeral procession rhythms," Jankay claims

I've wanted to post the Hong Kong Blood Opera as a Band of the Day for a while now for the simple, lame reason that they've got my favorite band name out there today. But as sad an accomplishment as that may seem at first -- think of it this way: There are tens...

When two of my favorite bands come together and high-five, I nearly pee my pants. Such was the narrative flow when I came across the news that one of my Top 5 US bands, the rustly, mournful Grizzly Bear had covered not only one of my Top 5 British bands, but had covered my...

We see now why Diplo called M.I.A.'s new album "Heavy…weird."   Earlier today, BBC Radio 1 played "XXXO," a new track from the neon diva's as-yet-untitled album. It sounds like Beyonce singing up from the bottom of an echo-y well. (Weird and heavy!) Slowed-down slappy drum machines basted in

By 21, Italy's Phonat had written what one reviewer called the “Bohemiam Rhapsody for the acid house generation." That would be "Learn to Recycle," an electro epic that sprints through at least five different disparate techno genres and takes it's name because it re-uses the same exact sample, bass

This isn't the Toro y Moi that you're used to. His debut -- Causers of This -- defined a new, prickly electronic bedroom pop sound that fell somewhere between the synth stylings of Nosaj Thing and the surf fuzz of Best Coast. But for this new 7", due out on July 19th internationally, he...
