We Have Everything

This track is a standout from Young Galaxy‘s upcoming Shapeshifting LP out Feb 8. These Canadians were nominated for a Polaris Prize in 2009 but I’ve only just started hearing about them so I’m late to the party on this one. The film clip, reminiscent of Radiohead’s classic Paranoid Android clip, is definitely worthy of your time.

Funnel of Love

Rockabilly legend Wanda Jackson is experiencing a resurgence of sorts. Not only did she team up with respected The White Stripes frontman Jack White to produce her latest studio album The Party Ain’t Over, she also graced the stages of both Conan and Letterman in the past few weeks, impressing audiences with her tenacity and distinctive vocal talents.

Still Sound

Teen Daze and Chaz aka Toro Y Moi have bit of a respect-crush going on. First he raved about Chaz’s 2010 debut LP Causes Of This calling it a “game changer”. Then Chaz responded by asking Teen Daze to remix the first (and usually the most important) track from his forthcoming LP Underneath the Pine (out February 22).

Such A Sad Puppy Dog

This song is siiiiiiiiick. I was pretty obsessed with the cult Manchester band’s Heavy Pop track last year – this takes it to another level. Starts off in the typical Wu Lyf style then melts into a sweet hip-hop kind of flow around the 2.07 mark. I’ve heard good reports of these guys live so I urge you to check out more of their material.
