EP Alert!: Kill Murray – Microscopic Feel
What is it with 2013? It seems like every musician in the world is feeding off of one another, producing a groundswell of musical brilliance that is coming at a rate that makes it nearly impossible to digest before the next mind-blower comes along. In this current environ, it would be plausible for smaller, up-and-coming [...]
Long Play!: Concrete Knives – Be Your Own King
We all always knew that Daft Punk had to be French. But, do you remember when you first found out that Phoenix was French? Remember how mind-blowing that concept was? After all, how and why would a French band be set on singing in a language other than their native tongue? The answer was simple [...]
Best of 2012: Mick’s Picks – The EPs
Picking up where we left off, we continue the ‘Best of 2012′ week with the Top 5 EPs of the year. There was a ton to sort through, especially given the trend of EP releases continuing to increase seemingly exponentially. Once a format that seemed to be owned by the punk rock labels, EPs have [...]
Single of the Week: St. Lucia – September
It was a toss up this week between The Neighbourhood’s ‘Sweater Weather’ and St. Lucia’s ‘September’, but ultimately the East Coast weather made the decision for us. 75 degrees and sun makes it feel a whole lot more like September and a whole lot less like it’s sweater season. Earlier this year, we issued an [...]
EP Alert!: Colour Coding – Proof
Hailing from Down Under, Sydney’s indie dance-pop-rock duo Colour Coding is starting to make some waves. Their debut EPÂ Proof was released in March, but has slowly been bubbling over worldwide and could be damn close to finding a boiling point. The realization of a lifelong ambition, Colour Coding is cousins Tim Commandeur and Chris Holland. [...]
Artist on the Rise: Friends
Something big is brewing in Brooklyn. Something very confusing, very familiar, yet quite unfamiliar. It’s a rag tag band of misfits making bohemian dance music that seemingly dips a toe into any and every genre it can find. And yet, it all comes together with a clarity that is as remarkable as it is danceable. [...]
Buy This EP!: Atlas Genius – Through the Glass EP
Atlas Genius made their first appearance on Goodbye Babylon a neat 6 months ago, when Mylo named ‘Trojans’ his Song of the Year for 2011 in his Best of 2011 write up. The guy has a pretty sparkling track record for scouting monster tracks and doesn’t take his naming of tracks and records of the [...]
Free Music!: Just Jack – Rough/Ready EP
There are certain artists upon whom we here at Goodbye Babylon keep a very keen eye. While we are always on the hunt for what’s new, there are just some established artists that continually put out fantastic records. We tend to think that the common theme amongst these artists is a sense of humility. For [...]
Buy This EP: Walk the Moon – Anna Sun EP
Being a Midwesterner by birth, I have a big time soft spot for all things Midwestern, especially music. And though the myth may go that there are fewer bands vying for the spotlight than in places like New York City, L.A., and Boston, the relative media coverage has to be taken into consideration as well. [...]
You Need This: King Charles – LoveBlood
It seems like there is no season that requires a soundtrack more than summer. Whatever the reasons, we all feel the common need to catalog the warmer months with songs that make us want to roll down the windows and see what our lungs are made of. While this year has been churning out some [...]
