Balam Acab - Dream Out

Balam Acab makes some beautiful music.

hypnotic sampling with equally hypnotic homespun beats.  songs that deserve equally beautiful and hypnotic videos.

check out this very blissed out, fan-made video from vimeo. i offer "Dream Out" as a mere appetizer, check out other, less accessible tracks by Balam Acab ("Big Boy" and "Oh Why" to boot) when you're ready.  i mean, fuck man, Ellen Page likes him...

Grimes - Oblivion

First off, what an awesome name.  Grimes.

Claire Boucher's range is ridiculous.  the layered harmonies and a bubbly, yet dreary beat make "Oblivion" a super catchy and addictive track.

don't be decieved by Boucher's gorgeous voice. the lyrics sound deceptively sweet, due thanks to Boucher's high octave vocals, but the dark and grimy (hah i know) electronic score reveal the true coldness of her words.

check out this dope video and see you on a dark night.

Killorgiveup - Blind

Straight out of motherfucking Estonia (which actually has a pretty killer hip-hop underground), Killorgiveup brings you a swag filled, synth driven 808 nightmare.

the male and female vocal duo stay in perfect sync through out the track, a nice contrast to the spastic beat.

taste the iron curtain.
