We can’t decide which Antoine we like better. Shirtless tattooed? Manicured crazy? Y’know, the Chicago Bulls were eliminated from the playoffs yesterday, so in solidarity to Nate Robinson, we’re going to have to go with Dennis Rodman jersey-clad Antoine. Clearly, the release of this video was timed perfectly with that heartbreaking defeat.
We’re so glad that Dresden Dresses is getting the attention he rightfully deserves. A European tour, choice opening slots and now a self-directed video premiere and interview on Noisey.
Slow jams are definitely a thing right now. We love a good slow jam. Good for atmosphere and makeouts, and atmospheric makeouts. Sometimes though, you just want to make out on the dance floor of some random afterparty.
Vancouvers’s Bliss Club have made two of our favourite slow jams so far this year, but now they have released a self-described “dance mix 95″ track, we don’t know WHAT to expect from them. We like that feeling, and Preda is another notch in a belt of pure amazing. We can’t wait to go make out on the dance floor.
Loretta Lucas charms with ukulele and a melody fit for sunshine park-sitting. This was produced by Adam Pressley of Jamaican Queens, so its excellence should not be a surprise.
Janet Jackson – If (Kaytranada Remix)
Phèdre – Coccoon
Edmonton’s DIY new-wave darlings Cygnets have put together another video for their raving fans. Exploring body-dysmorphia, obsession and various tongue-in-cheek goth-tropes. Directed and starring front-man Logan Turner, who only wears a t-shirt if it’s a v-neck with a prophetic slogan on it. Love it.
Mathias Mental – Comme Un Cheval Alezan
Mathias Mental is back again! This is, as far as we’re concerned, forever and always cause for excitement. This one is a little more guitar driven than some of his other work, and cleaves to his recent trend of singing in French. The bridge bit when the synths come in is perfect. This guy seems to just keep getting better.
