 It can be lonely at the top; a fact Emil Svanngen and his sparkling band of Swedes might want to grow accustomed to after they get through with what they have planned for America. Of course, such success would be sort of a "been there, done that" kind of thing for Loney, Dear. Svanngen fashioned himself an instant winner when his CD-R demo somehow found its' way into the ever-loving hands of some employee of Sub Pop. Though it appears Loney, Dear didn't hang on too long with the Seattle super label, recently they found themselves a mighty fine new home in the company of Polyvinyl. The label is preparing to tear the wrapper off the band's new album Dear John on January 27th. . . . Click here to read more . . .

 What we have here we're told is a "natural fit" by a fairly reliable source. Chromeo's retro disco inclinations no doubt tend to attract a whole slew of worthy producer and DJ types looking to cut and carve his stems up into their own monumental, remixed creations. . . .

 To most listeners, 88 Keys' The Death of Adam ( Decon) will most likely touch a nerve. In a word, the Harlem rapper's modern resurrection of the Biblical fall from grace comes off as just a bit misogynous. Of course, if you, like 88 no doubt, see the honest to god humor in all this, then there's a pretty good hip hop album to be had here. . . . Click here to read more . . .

 Meet Matt and Kim. They call Williamsburg Brooklyn home. And like so many of their neighbors, M&K have themselves a band. So why is it that their music has taken over Brooklyn? How is it that this overly-energetic, insanely stripped down brand of synthetic power pop has heralded M&K the borough's (and beyond) absolute party band of choice? I think you'll find the performance offered here to be an awesome explanation to such questions. . . . Click here to read more . . .

 Oh boy oh boy. You're going to be thanking yourself for plopping yourself in front of the computer today. That's because the day belongs to Brooklyn's most loveable of synth-pop punksters, Matt and Kim. . . . Click here to read more . . .

 Fresh off walloping rounds upon rounds of audiences at this past year's CMJ Marathon, electro-pop-ish band Passion Pit have announced a steady slate of dates that should have the Boston boys oh so busy on in to the New Year. Still supporting there somewhat-recently released Chunk of Change EP, the band is buying time, so to speak, before dropping their Frenchkiss supported, debut full-length sometime in early '09 (we're hearing April) by offering up the stems to "Sleepyhead" for their fans' remixing pleasures. . . .
