11.11.09ON THE MOVE: O’Spada releases new single “Ten Strikes”.I don't know anything at all about O'Spada, but I intend to find out more. The Stockholm act's soulful funk, reminiscent of Prince, Rick James' production style or the Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis grooves of the 80's, is getting some heavy attention and rotation. Apparently their last single "Time" got out in the world and received some praise and attention from THE FADER, Monocle, BBC Radio One's DJ Annie Mac, and they've been Band of the Day in The Guardian. Check out this new track, "Ten Strikes". We're digging its distinctly 80's retro-electro feel, and it's purposeful ...

02.25.09O+S haunt the halls on their etherial self-titled debut.There's a tricky dissonance that wafts through the undercurrent of the most beautiful recordings I've listened to in my life. It's the unexpected collaborations or spellbinding accidents of circumstance that unite elements into original flavors. The illogical syllogisms in music are the ones that surprisingly seem to work the best. Such is the case of O+S, whose self-titled debut will be released via Saddle Creek Records on March 24th.

01.28.09Raphael Saadiq – “100 Yard Dash”Apologies to my regular readers that this video contains an ad. As someone with no hair, I am personally offended that it's an ad for Pantene; however the video, taken from Saadiq's masterful 2008 album The Way I See It, is worth sitting thru the ad. The video transports you back to the 50's when tailored looks, impecable style and choreographed dances defined your Saturday night. Disc Jockey's ruled the airwaves and Mempis, TN was finally given it's star power on the map. Imagine you are the audience and Raphael Saadiq is your entertainment for the night. I ...

07.02.08We Still Can’t Get Enough of Voxpop | New MP3 for The Boomerang GenerationI've already talked about how much I love Voxpop's sound here and here.

06.05.08Loudersoft? More Like Voxpop Central! New MP3′s From Our Fave New UK Band.After exchanging emails with Voxpop's Alexander Miller, we're going to eek out a new Voxpop MP3, one at a time in the hopes your excitement about their new songs will be equal or greater than ours. Some helpful biographical information about the band: Voxpop formed in the wake of Alexander Miller's exit from UK band The Upper Room, who released an album and a couple of singles on Columbia. They're doing regular gigs around London, so make sure and keep an eye out for where they're playing. Since we can't get to London, we'd be thrilled if you send ...

06.04.08If I Had A Million Dollars: Voxpop Blows Our Minds.I've been talking about starting this feature called "If I Had A Million Dollars" -- a series of threads about bands I would sign if, in fact, I had a million dollars to help them make a record and promote them. Unofficially, the first installment really belongs to the band Anthem In that I mentioned earlier this week. However, I think you'll agree with me about installment two. This morning, bleary-eyed and caffeine-free, I read an email from Alexander of the London-based band Voxpop. I hadn't quite had my coffee when I clicked thru to their MySpace link ...

05.30.08Loudersoft Loves Brooklyn’s Anthem In | Ambitious Debut Filled With Powerful Pop Gems | Win Your Own Copy(ed. note: When putting this piece together, we had some technical difficulties with the music player. They're fixed -- full album stream after the jump.) Solid pop music is a commodity these days and, too often, the things I hear are simply "pretty good" or "okay". However, in the mailbag today was an email from Brooklyn band called Anthem In. I don't know how else to say it: I haven't stopped listening to it from the second I put it on, so I'm very pleased to tell you about the band and about the record itself. The self-released debut ...

02.29.08Loudersoft Loved Kutiman Before Pitchfork Gave Him 8.2, Still Does.You know, if Pitchfork is finally catching up with the rest of the world (me) in terms of culture and taste, I can't fault them for being right. The funk-soul brother name of Kutiman, hailing from Israel, has been a supreme favorite of mine since I heard his single "No Reason For You" on Melting Pot Music last summer, and kudos to the publication we all love to hate for knowing the good shit when they hear it. Their review of Kutiman, the self-titled debut from said funk-soul brother, is a well-deserved accolade for a freshman effort. This is ...
