Fresh off a handful of successful shows at SXSW, Berlin-based slash Irish/Canadian-synth duo, kool thing are back with official word on their debut single — a song called “TV Tower” due out May 13th. Dark, somewhat gothic-feeling vocals rise and fall o...
Acts like Passion Pit and MGMT might have done it first, but North Carolina-based indie rock 4-piece Dash do it better, and with more conviction — buying in to every lyric, synth breakdown and pop arrangement–like seasoned pros. The group recently finished u...
