New Music Video from Lana Del Rey directed by Yoann Lemoine. New album Born To Die is available on Vinyl from Insound HERE
PETER BJORN AND JOHN, LIKKI LI, TEDDYBEARS, MIIKE SNOW LAUNCH RECORD LABEL
Official Statement:
Ingrid was created over numerous cups of pitch black coffee at Mellqvist's in Stockholm: a place where tall men, homecoming stars, sailor boys, toddlers, seekers, and women so beautiful it hurts, come together to discuss the indifferences of who you are and what you ought to be...
Beyond complaints of harsh winters and lack of a real good Mexican joint, other topics started to swirl around the tables. Isn't there more to life than world tours, indie cred and empty pockets? Couldn't we be creating straight from the heart right to the people without any middle hands? Is it not 2012?
In a heartbeat, Ingrid was created. Consisting of members such as: Miike Snow, Lykke Li, Peter Bjorn and John, Coco Morier, Jocke Åhlund, Johanna Beckman, Jonas Torvestig, and Tomas Nordmark, Ingrid plans to offer a home for the new guard of musicians and artists. The opportunity for creation, collaboration, and compilation sonically and visually, Ingrid will provide in an unadulterated space.

[LISTEN UP] BOBBY WOMACK - PLEASE FORGIVE MY HEART
VIDEO: A$AP ROCKY x JIME STACK - PURPLE SWAG BOOTLEG
The director of Purple Swag put out a director’s cut to the Bootleg remix done by the homie Jim-E Stack. According to A$AP Rocky's people... Director Jason Ano has realigned the original “Purple Swag” visual with Jimi-E Stack’s psychedelic remix in a special ‘Director’s Cut’ edition. The visual rework compliments the unhurried pace of the track and Ano also added a number of effects including a conspicuously effective purple filter. The clue is in the title as to how your viewing pleasure may be at its optimum level. A$AP Rocky’s LiveLoveA$AP in digital format is available HERE

[REMIX] TWIN SHADOW x NEON INDIAN
[ALBUM REVIEW] EZRA FURMAN - YEAR OF NO RETURNING
Three months into 2012 and this already feels like the album of the year. Packing up his knapsack of tricks, Ezra Furman temporarily parted ways with his band, The Harpoons, and headed toward the ol' americana highway to venture a solo voyage- but not before stopping by his two favorite uncles Tom and Alex (Waits and Chilton), who passed down to him their secret roadmap. Ezra followed the path, and with little pitstops of his own, returned with the greatest road-trip souvenir this side of a Highway 61 road sign, "The Year of No Returning". The album begins with "Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde", taking instrumental influence from Swordfishtrombones-era Waits. I await Wes Anderson to pick-up this song for his next slow motion scene. From the beginning, surprising instrumentation chimes in at the perfect moments and continues throughout the entire record. "That's When It Hit Me" has a fifties rock n roll sound, while "Lay In The Sun" is like a Big Star version of a fifties doo-wop classic. "Bad Man" captures the best parts of a Daniel Johnston song with whispers that slightly haunt you--in the friendly ghost way, of course. "Cruel, Cruel World" stays true to an early Dylan sound while, "American Soil" is a protest song in the best Dylan tradition, preachy (even says he's going to write us a Bible!)-but amazingly doesn't come off as sanctimonious. This is definitely the breakthrough album for Mr. Furman. What began as a musical adventure turned out to be a vision quest. Let's hope he continues to bring us mementos of this scale from his further musical explorations.
*The Year Of No Returning has been deemed a "BFF" meaning Burris Family Favorite. This term had not existed preceding the album. Thanks, Mom.
