Concretes - "Good Evening"

Stockholm's The Concretes are returning to the music world with the disco-infused album WYWH on October 4th. You can grab the excellent bass-thumping first single "Good Evening" for free now. And if you prefer a more ethereal flare to your disco jams, there's also a tasteful remix by Blackbird Blackbird.

Blackbird Blackbird - "Ups & Downs"

You just need to glance at the cover art for Blackbird Blackbird's Happy High EP (on your left) or listen to the first ten seconds of "Let's Move On Together" (it's full of children's laughter) to understand the motives behind this San Franciscan's project. You might as well throw the sarcasm, bitterness and irony overboard now, because Mikey Sanders isn't interested. Blissful melodies and carefree youthful pop sunshine? That sounds more like it. Download both of the band's EPs for free now via bandcamp. You can also follow Blackbird Blackbird's Tumblr for firsthand updates.
