Remix Wednesday: “Burn”—Ellie Goulding (Four Tet Remix)
I know what you’re thinking: “Another remix of “Burn”? I’ve had enough f**king EDM already.” But fear not, that’s exactly what this remix isn’t about.

Band of Horses Album Review
“LIVE AT THE RYMAN”: Band of Horses Beginning as a rock outfit in 2004, Band of Horses was catapulted into alternative stardom on the back of iconic singles “The Funeral” and “No One’s Gonna Love You.” Likened to The Decemberists and Bon Iver, lead singer Ben Bridwell’s fragile, emotive vocals take center stage.
Where Are They Now?
Ah, childhood. A sweet but fleeting time defined by popsicles, pretend and passé pop stars. What happened to the crooners of our golden age? They had their five minutes of fame and then faded into irrelevance...or so we think. Let’s take a journey through time! Cue hypnotic, dream sequence beats.
Remix Wednesday: "Drunk in Love"—Beyoncé
It takes a pretty unique artist to be able to emulate both Jay–Z and Beyoncé (and a police siren) on one song, but if anyone is going to do something like that, it’s Future.

Album Review: "Dunes" by Gardens & Villa

Album Review: Of Mice and Men
“RESTORING FORCE” Of Mice and Men From the first bullhorn screams of opening track “Public Service Announcement,” you know it’s on. Of Mice and Men's third album is chock full of punchy, mosh–pit igniting anthems like “Bones Exposed” and “You Make Me Sick,” but the band leaves room for some more accessible material, like closing ballad “Space Enough to Grow.” Although some of the choruses feel somewhat forgettable, the group is in their element here, delivering a raw and aggressive, yet balanced and mature set of hardcore tracks that fans of the genre are sure to devour.
