THE GOLDEN FILTER - Hide Me

Recently we mentioned that The Golden Filter's debut album is coming soon. Now we have a new track called "Hide Me". This is like Goldfrapp on ecstasy.

THE GOLDEN FILTER Announce Debut Album

Like We Have Band, we also tripped head over heels for The Golden Filter last year. The pair of singles "Solid Gold" and "Thunderbird" showed some serious disco promise that we haven't seen since Goldfrapp. The debut LP Voluspa hits your eardrums on April 26th, preceded by the new single "Hide Me" a week earlier on April 19th. You can stream said tracks here. Check out this cool teaser:



And while you wait for the new material, relive the magic from 2009 with these two music videos:

LITTLE BOOTS - "New in Town"

Victoria Hekseth, aka Little Boots, is taking Europe by storm with her infectious breed of electro dance-pop. Now she has her sights set on America. She is set to release the US-exclusive ep Illuminations on June 9th. The disc will include the singles "New in Town" and "Stuck on Repeat", serving as a precursor to her full-length debut Hands, due later this year. Get a free mini-mix of the album here.

Little Boots plays Le Poisson Rouge in NYC on May 18th. Check out the brand new video for "New in Town" below. And definitely grab The Golden Filter remix of the track over at Disco Dust. It is so hot!

SXSW - Day 2 Girls, Here We Go Magic, The Golden Filter, Nite Jewel, JDS and more

-Girls

I started day two off at The Peacock for Gorilla vs. Bear's annual party, aptly titled Gorilla vs. Booze III. The scene was insanely crowded and unbearably hot, but it didn't stop anyone from jamming their way inside the venue to catch the amazing lineup. Brooklyn's Here We Go Magic are hands down the best new discovery I've made here in Austin. Their music is absolutely gorgeous and captivating. I think these guys will be huge really soon.

Girls played next, delivering a mostly hot & sweaty, rocked-out set, with the exception of the pain-ridden slow burner "Hellhole Ratrace". The crowd seemed to intensify when The Golden Filter took the stage. Their high energy dirty electro suited the sauna-like conditions well, but it was so packed I couldn't see a thing. Sounded fantastic though.

*****

I kind of accidentally stumbled across a great pair of sets at Todd P's party, held in the dusty backyard of Ms. Bea's, a rather rundown local bar. The setting here is gritty, but really charming. It's a trip to watch the Hispanic locals intermix with the hipsters, but it's also beautiful to see this tiny bar get an overwhelming amount of business.

-JDS

First, I caught JDS, an experimental violinist from Brooklyn who plays over tripped out samples and dramatic micro korg synthscapes. I was so taken with her music that I introduced myself to her afterwards. She was really lovely and explained how her parents owned the property, which led her to curate the "Day Into Night" portion of the Todd P event.

-Nite Jewel

Nite Jewel are an awesome new electro duo from Los Angeles. I've recently become increasingly addicted to their debut disc Good Evening and the lush sound translates perfectly live.

As the sun began to set, I headed back downtown for what turned out to be an incredible night. More on that later. Got to get back out there again!

THE GOLDEN FILTER - "Solid Gold"

The Golden Filter are a couple of photographers who met in New York and became an electro duo. The first single "Solid Gold" is really sexy and fun - new video below. They play the Gorilla vs. Booze party in Austin next week. Check out more tunes here.
