Laura Welsh‘s “Unravel” is a must-listen for fans of Jessie Ware. The minimal, emotionally-heavy track was produced by Dev Hynes (otherwise known as the brilliant nu-R&B mastermind behind Sky Ferreira‘s “Everything Is Embarrassing” and Solange Knowles‘ “Losing You“). It’s also quite, quite good! So much so that […]

AlunaGeorge: “Attracting Flies”
AlunaGeorge‘s “Attracting Flies” was accurately described by Stereogum as “probably the sweetest song about telling someone he is full of shit”. It also serves as the first time I’ve officially understood the growing hype around the English duo, who have gained both critical and public […]
Brendan Maclean: “Stupid”
Now that we’re a healthy week’s distance from Valentine’s Day, it seems like the perfect time to put down the cans of frosting at 2AM and attempt to transfer focus to a less physically detrimental form of therapy. Namely, musical. Remember last year, when Australian […]
HAIM: “Falling”
Stop being a pussy, grow some balls and start listening to HAIM already. Seriously, what the fuck are you waiting for? A handwritten invitation from the Queen Elizabeth II, specifically telling you to jump on the bandwagon? You might as well just give up and […]
The Postal Service: “A Tattered Line of String”
I’ve already discussed my personal connection to The Postal Service‘s 2003 album Give Up here on Manhunt Daily, so I won’t waste either of our time rehashing the tales of steamy make-out sessions or impromptu dance parties in dorm room hallways… After all, (most of) […]
Woodkid: “I Love You”
I would like to sit on Yoann Lemoine‘s face. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I should probably mention that Woodkid is Lemoine’s stage name. His new video for “I Love You” just came out earlier this week, and it’s quite good […]
Ra Ra Riot: “Beta Love”
The music video for Ra Ra Riot‘s “Beta Love” takes a Flashback Friday approach, utilizing actual footage from a local 1980s Bay Area television program called Dance Party. It’s peculiar how well it works with the energetic dance-pop track, and it’s even more peculiar that […]
Swear and Shake: “These White Walls”
Kari Spieler, the lead female vocalist of New York’s Swear and Shake, reminds me a ton of Rilo Kiley‘s Jenny Lewis. That last sentence might mean nothing to 90% of you reading this, but then again, you probably didn’t spend a week of your college […]
Woodpigeon: “For Paolo”
Here is some music by a legitimately good, openly gay artist! And I’m not just saying that because he’s a hot Canadian indie dude with a beard! It’s actually intelligent, well-written and not reeking of pop-chart desperation. Take note, Adam Lambert. This is how you […]
Chairlift: “I Belong In Your Arms”
Fuck me gently with a chainsaw! My body was not ready for this. Brooklyn duo Chairlift‘s new album Something won’t be available until next Tuesday, but you can listen to a preview of their track “I Belong in Your Arms” above. It is downright brilliant. […]
