Best Coast Boyfriend

This song's getting a few rotations on Triple J and featured on a lot of music blogs. And there's a good reason for that: it's mighty catchy and dreampoppy, reminiscent of a less noisy 80s shoegazer thing combined with a drop of the Cardigans. Combine and picture the following words: teenage yearning, lazy summer, weed & cats, drone. I've an unfortunate gut feeling this is going to be a one-off buzzband, so it' really up to the rest of the album and what they plan to do next; but Boyfriend is currently on a bit of a repeat on my winampz.

Doves – Rise

Was listening to old mixtapes/ sets and was reacquainted with this beautiful number. Lovers of ambient drone, click on! And watch out for the harmonica part.

So long...

I find you that french boy, you find me that french girl

Oldie but definitely a goodie. Mix house, french, electro and sexy sounds and you'll get this great tune.

The Presets – If I Know You

Recently released promo video for "If I Know You" from The Preset's Apocalypso.

Is it just me, or does the style really reek of something an Australian choreographer/ music video director would do?
