Karina Pasian first hit the soundwaves in spring of 2008 with the single “16 @ War” off of her Grammy-nominated debut album, First Love. In anticipation for her sophomore album, this young chanteuse has blessed us all with a free download of her new song called “Perfectly Different”. Karina does best when accompanied by few […]



Mia Palencia – Percaya

Sometimes videos friends put up on Facebook yield great finds; Mia Palencia certainly falls under the “great finds” category. “Percaya” (Malay meaning “Believe”), off of her album Jiwang Kingdom is simply gorgeous. Her voice is velvety and heavy; the occasional vocal wobble doesn’t detract, it is charming and honest. Palencia has been on the Malaysian […]



Album Review: Monogold – We Animals

There seems to be a trend coming out of Brooklyn these days in the indie rock scene. Take some ambient indie rock, add a little folk and spaced-out airy vocals and you most likely will have a hit. Prime examples include Animal Collective and Grizzly Bear and now we have struck gold with Monogold. Monogold, […]



Music Video: We Are Enfant Terrible- Snap Dragon

I loved Double Dragon on NES when I was a kid, so I was very pleased to find out that French 8-bit electro-rock group, We Are Enfant Terrible, with the help of director Emilien Sitnikow, created a music video to their latest track “Snap Dragon,” that would once again let me reminisce on those long […]



New Smashing Pumpkins Track, A Song For A Son

Saw this over at Spinner. The Smashing Pumpkins, AKA Bill Corgan, have just released their latest track called “A Song For A Son.” It’s the first out of 44 that will be released one at a time as part of the new SP album ‘Teargarden by Kaleidyscope.’ (totally a SP name) The song is a […]



Archangel – Loud and Clear

Archangel is the brainchild of Nick Webber, who spent a year and a half in Wiltshire as he recorded “the soundtrack of his life.” He is a one man band handling the production as well as vocal, guitar, piano, electronic keyboard, synth-bass and percussion duties on the album. His latest single, “Loud and Clear” just […]



Dato – Danse Imod

We talked about Danish duo, Dato, a few weeks ago on Boom Boom Chik and now they have sent us a new track that has just as much fun and excitement as the first one they sent. The track is called “Danse Imod” and is pure, delicious electro-pop. The lyrics are in danish, but according […]



The Muppets – Bohemian Rhapsody

This video is the best thing to have happened to me since, I don’t know, childhood. The Muppets are back from the dead and have resurrected His Royal Majesty Freddie Mercury along with them. It’s epic. Disney, having bought Jim Henson Co. in 2004, owns the Muppets and Disney’s Hollywood Records owns the Queen catalogue. […]



Adaledge – Race In for Ping Pong (Battles vs. Antipop Consortium)

We have mentioned Brooklyn electronic producer Adaledge in the past on Boom Boom Chik. Adaledge produces compositional electronic music as well has a knack for doing obscure, but sounds very good, mash-ups. He had previously done a Prince vs. Brendan Benson mash-up thats very impressive. His latest one, “Race In for Ping Pong” is equally […]



DATA – Electric Fever

DATA has jut released their latest single, “Electric Fever,” along with remixes from Munk, Idiotproof and Acid Washed. The original track sounds like a 80’s action movie theme song on par to something like Beverely Hills Cop. (but its no Axel Foley) It starts of with a long intro, but eventually gives way to some […]



Check Out Now: The Futureless

Canadian electronic band, The Futureless, consisting of Nolan (vocals, keys, programming), Savard (keys, bass), and Tucker (vocals, keys, programming, guitar), has been transforming trance into their own unique style by taking it into the dark side of electronic pop. Their current EP Futura, which was made with award-winning producer/engineer Shawn Lefebvre (Muse, Dragonette, Cancer Bats, […]



Cafe Tacuba – Volver a Comenzar

Mexican rock bands have a penchant for being f*cking awesome. Bands like Cafe Tacuba, Molotov, Zoe, Plastilina Mosh, Kinky to name a few – these folks bring it and they bring it hard. They incorporated electronic music into their rock for years before it became the thing to do, but never sacrificed rock. Rock is […]



Music Video: Beardo – 24 Hour Party

I absolutely love Beardo. With his raunchy lyrics, care-free attitude, and catchy punk-rocks songs, he gets me going. So when I got this video to one of the tracks on his latest album, “24 Hour Party,” I was quite excited. The video, shot against a white-cyc room, with super 8 film, VHS film, and a […]



Album Review: Fear of Tigers – Cossus Snufsigalonica

I have been a fan of Uk producer Fear of Tigers ever since I heard his remix of Anoraak’s track “Nightdrive With You.” He brought that nu-wave/disco sound to our ears and we were quite impressed. With a few other original productions/remixes floating around, it was inevitable that he was going to put out a […]



The Lackluster Grammys

So, every year that goes by I feel the Grammys sort of lose their grace.  The thing that irks me the most is the fact that the same artists are nominated for so many different awards. For example, Taylor Swift: 8, Beyonce: 10, BEP: 6. Where is the diversity? There is so much music in […]



Album Review: Throwing Seven – Hope Forgets to Breathe

It’s always great to reconnect with stuff that you like, or things that may have been forgotten in this ever changing world we live in today. I had one of those moments today when I put on the first track from LA band, Throwing Seven. Upon listening to it I was brought back to my […]
