When The Sun Goes Down 

(Hollywood) 

Sounds Like: Some tweens are content to sit on the laurels of their multi-million  dollar television and film empire; some also churn out pop records year after year.

Thee Physical 

(Lovepump United) 

Sounds Like: Second LP of heady and haunting electro from Denver’s Travis Egedy, perfect for raving out in the Colorado loft he owns called (no lie) Rhinoceropolis.

For Fans Of: PW expat Mookie Singerman, Neon Indian,  Delorean, hallucinogens.

Player Piano 

(Carpark) 

Sounds Like: Former Philadelphian Dayve Hawk is bursting with chill vibes that’ll wash over you with his new  collection of dreamy, groove-heavy bedroom jamz. 

Free Association: Remember when Air used to be as charmingly weird and trippy?
