Grimes - Genesis

Canada's own Grimes is someone to watch in 2012.  Born and raised in Vancouver and now based out of Montreal, Claire Boucher creates well-crafted, sonically beautiful music. "Genesis," the second track to appear on her upcoming LP, Visions, (due out February 21st) takes you to atmospheric heights layered in bouncy synth and piano loop elements.  "Oblivion" (released last October) is another cut from the album.

Sound Remedy - Reach For The Stars

It's nice to have some free time on my hands to blog. It seems I'm on a blog overload lately or I may just be finding some awesome tracks that need to be posted. Anyways, I've really been digging "Reaching For The Stars" by Sound Remedy as of late. I really like the progressive house filtering in throughout the background. They make some pretty good bangers including a remix of Nero's "Crush On You" (below).

Tennis - My Better Self

I love Tennis - both the sport and the Denver, Colorado based minimalistic pop trio. I'm so excited to hear that they are releasing their sophomore LP, Young & Old, on February 14th. What a perfect Valentine's Day treat. "My Better Self," featured on Young & Old, is a saccharine sweet pop melody that will leave you humming its infectious melody throughout the day.
