no words, but...awesome <3
Metric - Youth Without Youth
"Metric will self-release its fifth album, Synthetica, on June 12, but in case you can’t wait that long the New York band revealed the record’s first single today. “Youth Without Youth," which was produced by the band’s guitarist Jimmy Shaw, is a rollicking, shimmery rock number. The song, which Metric has been slowly revealing via lyrics on its website, is compelling and hooky, driven by singer Emily Haines' croon and a notably catchy guitar line. It’s hard to decide if this makes it easier or harder to wait for the whole album." (RCRDLBL)

More Saturdays Music.
"I am ready. I am ready for the floor!"
Are you?
"Trullie released her debut EP, Self-Taught Learner, through American Myth Recordings on February 17, 2009. She performed at New York City's Mercury Lounge on February 11, 2009 in anticipation of the CD release. The cover of the EP featured a woman's posterior clad in hot pants, taken from a 1970s pornographic magazine.
Trullie then signed with Wichita Recordings, who released her EP in Europe. Photographer Cass Bird directed the video for her single, “Boy Boy”, which was partially filmed in the basement of the Lit Lounge on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Actress Chloë Sevigny had a cameo as a merchandise sales girl. In 2009, The Observer grouped Trullie with other singers gaining notice with their distinct fashion, 1980s references, and androgyny, including Lady Gaga, Little Boots, Ladyhawke, and Elly Jackson's synth duo La Roux."

KID A - BB Bleu
Woeöööww. This is amazing. Get on it, what a talent.
Virginia-born singer and producer Kid A first released “BB Bleu” last summer as part of her imaginary film soundtrack, PPPONEY OST, a fragile and transporting album with song titles like “♀” and lyrics primarily sung, with delicate processing, in Japanese. Now, to celebrate the impending completion of her next release, BLCKRSECHLL (Black Rose Chill), which was recorded in Paris with the DJ/producer Agoria, Kid A has remastered “BB Bleu,” one of PPPONEY‘s most affecting songs. Download below, and while you’re here, take a listen to Fabien Dalzin’s remix of the old title-track “PPPoney,” like the woozy, down-the-stairs tumble to Bleu’s night with the covers pulled over her face.

Camo & Krooked - Afterlife
In case you are planning to hit some easter parties (or let's celebrate a huge weekend party). Check this one out before you leave. Really nice and non cheap DnB by Camo & Crooked. Enjoy.
Camo & Krooked are a drum and bass duo from Vienna, Austria, consisting of Reinhard "Camo" Rietsch (Born November 12, 1983 in Salzburg) and Markus "Krooked" Wagner (Born July 31, 1989 in Lilienfeld).
Both Rietsch and Wagner have been producing music since 2002. They met at one of Rietsch's gigs and collaborated to form Camo & Krooked in 2007. Their first release was in 2008 with "Play It / Hidden Edge / Drop It!".
Due to Camo & Krooked success with Above & Beyond released in February 2010, they won Best Newcomer DJ's at the 2010 Drum & Bass: Arena Awards, and put out two mixes for BBC Radio 1‘s Annie Nightingale, Fabio & Grooverider. Grooverider later quoted that Camo & Krooked are “one of the biggest talents in Drum & Bass”. Both of these mixes bring to the table Camo & Krooked‘s usual varying sub-genres of drum and bass.
Camo & Krooked were signed by Hospital Records on the December 4, 2010, to join Netsky, High Contrast and Danny Byrd.
On June 3, 2011, Camo & Krooked released their first single from their upcoming album, "All Fall Down / Breezeblock" ventured into new genres for them into the realms of dubstep. "All Fall Down" reached number 97 on the UK Singles Chart and number 14 on the UK Dance Chart. (Wiki)

Screaming Females - Expire
Screaming Females is an independent rock band, often labeled as a punk rock band, from New Brunswick, New Jersey. They have released five full length albums, entitled Baby Teeth, What If Someone Is Watching Their T.V.?, Power Move, Castle Talk, and Ugly. The band features Marissa Paternoster on guitar and vocals, Jarrett Dougherty on drums, and King Mike on bass. (Wiki)
Epire is my favorite song from their latest album "Ugly" released on the 3rd of April. They are different, most likely rough and absolutely talented! Love em. The only thing I find disturbing are the cats in the video "It all means nothing". Check them out: Screaming females. Hope they will be soon coming to Europe.

"It´s My Life" is a reflection of urban life and a happy three-part marriage of garage pop, electro and punk. The song was featured in a promo campaign for Italian fashion house Roberto Cavalli, starring a lightly dressed Milla Jovovich, which created quite a stir throughout Europe. (Wiki)

This guy = MakroSounds <3
No Regular Play - Owe Me (Nicolas Jaar Mix). Released on Wolf + Lamb, November 12, 2009.
Prometheus - Official Full HD Trailer - Ridley Scott, Michael Fassbender...
Sorry guys, long time not being present here. In fact I was traveling around europe for a funeral, sad enough. Meanwhile sitting in Germany I figured that GEMA controls YouTube as a music platform as crazy and bans every second music video from youtube... This let me feel that my ACTA online demonstrations was for nothing. Anyways my last stop before catching a plane to sweden was at my best friends, who gave me this trailer on my way back home.......
In the distant future, two superpowers control Earth and fight each other for all the solar system's natural resources. When one side dispatches a team to a distant planet to terraform it for human colonization, the team discovers an indigenous race of bio-mechanoid killers.
Ridley Scott, director of 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner,' returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.
Genre: Science Fiction Director: Ridley Scott Cast: Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace Release Date: June 8, 2012

Sharon Van Etten
Album: Tramp
Thanks Pitchfork TV
"Sharon Van Etten is an American singer-songwriter based in Brooklyn, New York City.
Her songs were described by the music website Pitchfork Media as having "some echoes of folk tradition but generally in a more personal, introspective space." NPR Music asserts: "Her songs are heartfelt without being overly earnest; her poetry is plainspoken but not overt, and her elegant voice is wrapped in enough rasp and sorrow to keep from sounding too pure or confident."

Wise Blood - Loud Mouths
I just found this through PitchforkTV. The video just came out, but I did not like too much as its quite creepy :D Anyhow, I posted the link below in case you wanna check it out.
Then, I found this really interesting review of Wise Blood through IndieShuffle and the strange and special tunes including the weird video...it all makes sense. They are really really special and (most important) brilliant! It is different, lovely and somehow weird, but in a weird-lovely way. Mmmmhhh not sure if this sort of review does make sense, but all I wanna do is sort of arousing your curiosity, so you check them out. And it is, badass and I am fuckin luving it!!! Have fun.
"The Pittsburg-based band is composed of singer/songwriter Chris Laufman, originator of the group, plus two other members who kick it for live sets. With one EP out and about, Wise Blood is preparing to release an LP at the beginning of next year before SXSW.
Single “Loud Mouths” is more than just your average song. Ever so fiercely whispering, Laufman throws down frank and abrupt statements like “We can head to the show, come throw powder up your nose and when I make money I’ll buy you clothes.” The finished sound is bewitching and bold just as the lyrics are written. It’s almost as if Laufman is giving a musical bitch slap to negativity encountered in his life, dumping attitude over an aggressively omnipotent background of hums, screams, piano, and drums. Not gonna lie, the style is pretty badass." (IndieShuffle) -> http://www.indieshuffle.com/wise-blood-loud-mouths/

Grooveshark?!

...just found that on Gizmodo (check link below). Tweeted it already. What a shame. I really thought this business got potential, but their law competence seems to lack sort of. I also thought it might be some nice competition for spotify, because I was really surprised about Groovesharks enormous music library. Let's see how those creative blokes will deal with this situation and let's cross the fingers, so they get out of that stuff. I'll leave the playslist here for some more days and will come up with a musical surprise for all makrosounds followers. Stay tuned. Best of 2011 is in progress. Love -makrosounds
