Once every three months I list the best of what I heard in albums/songs/remixes for the quarter. I do this to personally keep up with all the awesome music I hear, as it ultimately helps me at the end of the year when I do my overall listing for the previous twelve months. I also do it to introduce you cool cats to tunes you may have missed independently.

Twin Shadow is back! George Lewis Jr. has announced his follow-up to 2010’s brilliant Forget. It’s called Confess and it’s out on July 10th.
Stream/download the first new track from the upcoming album, “Five Seconds,” below. It’s packed with everything we all love from Twin Shadow, passionate vocal work, echoey guitars, and Molly Ringwald 80’s beats!

It’s been taking forever and ever, but True Loves, the debut from Brooklyn psych-dance-pop masters Hooray For Earth, finally drops June 7th. Â And the group recently leaked another amazing, catchy, ghetto-blasting banger from the album, the brilliant “No Love.” Â Grab it and blare it repeatedly.
Hooray For Earth – No Love
While you’re at it, revisit my 31st favorite song from 2010, the infectious title track.
Hooray For Earth – True Loves
And revisit my 63rd favorite from last year, the band’s collaboration with Twin Shadow.
Hooray For Earth and Twin Shadow – A Place We Like
