Faded Paper Figures

faded Paper Figures

If you are a fan of The Postal Service you (along with the rest of us) have been waiting for a follow-up album to Give Up for years now. Well I have a little something for your blip-pop needs that may help out a bit. They are called Faded Paper Figures. I am sure they are more than tired of hearing the comparison to The Postal Service but the likeness can’t be ignored. Even the semi-corny light hearted lyrics and vocals have the same feel. Not to detract from the music, because I really like it and they do this type of music very well. I look forward to hearing more from them in the future. Faded Paper Figures have their debut album Dynamo available now which I just purchased from iTunes.

    They do sound a lot like the postal service, the vocals in the postal service are a little better though n_n”

    [...] I first blogged about Faded Paper Figures at the beginning of last year when I heard their debut album Dynamo. At the time I compared their sound to that of The Postal Service. They have just released their second album New Medium, and while they still have a similar synth-pop sound it would seem they have come into their own and developed a sound of their own on this album. I have only given the album a once over, but from what I heard I am really liking it. [...]

Hooray For Earth – Surrounded By Your Friends (Twin Shadow Remix)

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

Twin_Shadow

Twin Shadow has been making some waves throughout the internets lately. I recently purchased his new album Forget, and I must say I quite like it. I am also really liking this remix he has done for Hooray For Earth, who I had never heard of before this song, but will surely be checking them out after hearing it.

Muscles – Girl Crazy Go (Muscles Inception Remix)

Monday, October 18th, 2010

The last I heard of Muscles he had quit the music business because of problems with his label Modular. This disappointed me because I love his music. However, I was happy to see that if the rumors were true at the time he has apparently changed his mind. A new EP by Muscles titled Younger & Immature is due out October 29.

Here’s a remix of the first single from the EP ‘Girl Crazy Go’. Check out the music video for the original version here. From the sounds of it Muscles hasn’t lost his musical touch, or his ego.

Sleigh Bells – Run the Heart (Bassnectar Remix)

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

Sleigh+Bells+sleighbells1

Music by Bassnectar isn’t something I would normally post here. For the most part I feel his stuff is for dirty rave hippies, and if you read this blog at all you probably know how I feel about the wobbly bass-heavy Dubstep. That being said this remix done of Sleigh Bells‘ song ‘Run the Heart’ is still bass-heavy, but not completely overboard. It also manages to keep a lot of what makes the original track so good.

Martin Solveig ft. Dragonette – Hello

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

dragonette-martin

Chances are if you spend any amount of time on the internet you have heard ‘Hello’ by Martin Solveig featuring the lovely Dragonette (considering it went number one on Hype Machine). But I couldn’t resist posting this super-fun dance-pop masterpiece. It’s basically impossible not to want to dance to this song. I don’t know a lot about Martin Solveig, but from what I have heard and seen so far I am liking his stuff. Purchase the EP with several remixes on Beatport now.

Millionyoung – Local Joke (Neon Indian Cover)

Friday, October 1st, 2010

million-young

Millionyoung, aka Mike Diaz, is shaping up to be one of my favorite artist of 2010. I really love this cover he has done of Neon Indian’s ‘Local Joke’. He adds his own personality to the song, so much that it sounds as though he could have written it. I am looking forward to a full-length album from him.
