WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE ACTOR WHO PLAYS THE MOTHER?

WATCH THE TRAILER HERE

!!! - AM/FM
The brand new single from !!! (Chk Chk Chk) - from their forthcoming new album Strange Weather, Isn't it, is a spacey psychedelic rolling jam of a song that's super addictive. The pulsating synths are practically hypnotic if played at precisely the right volume - and then the weird synthetic tubular bells sorta serve to bring you out of the trance momentarily for the chorus. This is LSD in single format.

BEST COAST - Boyfriend
This track is so sun-kissed right now that if you play it when it's raining that rainbows actually appear from your stereo speakers. It's motown-esque / wall of sound-esque - but also indie-low fi. I want to drown in Bethany Cosentino's vocals.

FUNERAL PARTY - NYC Moves to the Sound of LA
East-LA based Funeral Party recently toured with Julian Casablancas. This single is their commentary on hypocrisy and "a world (where) we have no choice but to engage". "pick up the trends you dumb Americans" they sing. It's angry and fun - at the same time - just like being a teenager, really.

WOLF GANG - Pieces of You (Baby Monster Remix)
Not exactly a new track - but we've been listening to Wolf Gang in the COT offices heaps ever since we announced our media-partnership to be putting on their shows in NZ in October. Tis remix of of Pieces of You is luscious and sexy and pretty much perfect disco for 2010.

TENNIS - Marathon
Thanks to our pal and fellow DJ - Rebecca Maxine for slipping this track our way - Tennis are a husband and wife duo - Alaina Moore's vocals are actually pools of gorgeous silky warm water that you want to dive into. Especially the ooo-ooo-ooo'sin this song - which just make us melt, probably into the aforementioned pools.

CULTS - Oh My God
Another example of this sixties girl-group sound that seems to be everywhere that is sexy right now. The organ-lines here are deep and warm black coffee while Madeline Folin's sugary sweet vocals are like Melting Moments. Cults (great band name by the way) are 21-year-old NYC film students and couple Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion. I am in love with them.

THE GOOD NATURED - Your Body Is a Machine (Get People Remix)
The Good Natured is actually 18 year old Sarah McIntosh from the UK. Cheese on Toast were all over her ealrier single Red Skin a while back - and now she returns with this amazing new single. She's like Kate Bush meets Fever Ray - inspired by David Sylvian and Japan. She sings
“We are influenced by our self love and benevolence / Narcissism is overwhelming. / Vanity is quite exhausting..." - and it kicks you in the guts and breaks your heart.

DJ Fresh - Gold Dust (Flux Pavillion Remix)
I'm totally loving dropping this track into DJ sets right now. It's jaxtaposition-o-rama in a dance song. The vocal refrains are sweet like honey and ice-cream - and the hard synths are like blocks concrete smashing you in the face. IN THE FACE!

PROFESSOR GREEN feat LILY ALLEN - Just Be Good To Green (Camo & Krooked Remix)
Yet another re-working of the 1983 SOS Band classic. Uk pop-rapper Professor Green teams up with Lily Allen - but this dubstep remix by Camo & Krooked just fucking kicks your cranium in once it gets going; and doesn't let up with your brain is a smashed up mess. In a good way.

DIE DIE DIE - HowYe
Latest single form the fucking amazing new album from Die Die Die - Form - which I think might be their finest work to date. The progressions in this song are like an elevator that's a bit insane; and just keeps on taking you further up past the floor you thought you wanted to go. Fuck the penthouse suite; we're going up.
