[LISTEN UP] LOLAWOLF - DRIVE

Well I'm at a loss for words and that usually does not happen. This afternoon I received an email from an artist calling themselves Lolawolf. The email said "share this if you like" with a link. Well, when I usually get those types of emails I press play and after like 30 seconds or so I then press delete... However, this time I just listened for all of three minutes and fifty three seconds of the track and hit play again and then again and then again again! I tried a quick google search and nothing came up... Who exactly is Lolawolf? I'm not sure but I do know the song is called Drive and it's really sexy and I think you will agree! According to the email it also said the debut EP will drop in November on Innit Recordings but in the mean time listen up and if you like share it!

Update: Lolawolf is Zoë Kravitz and Jimmy Giannopoulos of Pretty Good Dance Moves

[ALBUM REVIEW] PRETTY GOOD DANCE MOVES - LIMO

I could not keep myself from thinking of video games while listening to the new album from Pretty Good Dance Moves which features vocals from Sabina Sciubba. It would be the perfect soundtrack for a quest; prancing through mystical forests, trying to rescue princesses or smashing psychedelic fruits with over-sized hammers.There are new discoveries with each play as if I am starting the game over again in search of hidden gems. Their electronic sound, drawing from elements such as Bjork's "Homogenic" as well as dashes of Krafterwerk and Cluster, is augmented by 70's horns and a French/European influence. Give Limo a listen and choose your own adventure --no cheat code required.
