Cinder Well - "Beyond the Pale"

Cinder Well has always had a knack for making beautiful music, but her latest is exceptional in how beautiful it is. "Beyond the Pale" somehow captures the vibe of her current home in Los Angeles and the doom folk she made while living in Ireland. It has some aspects and elements of a Southern California sound mixed with the beauty and dreariness associated with Ireland. It's a hard sound and feeling to describe, but once you listen to the song you'll understand. "Beyond the Pale" is immediately striking upon its start, and only draws you in deeper as it goes on.

JARV IS... - "House Music All Night Long"

Jarvis Cocker is the last truly great frontman left. Any time he releases any new music, there's no chance we won't cover it, so we're thrilled to bring you his latest band JARV IS... The debut single from JARV IS... is "House Music All Night Long" and is quite literally perfect. Cocker is his normal slinky and captivating self. "House Music All Night Long" isn't even remotely house music, unless the kids have changed the definition of house music on me. Instead it's a mostly electronic chilled out song that's more along the lines of 60's lounge mixed with 70's porno. Yes, you read that right, and this would have been the coolest song of 1997. You can watch the video for "House Music All Night Long" below. Beyond the Pale , the debut album from JARV IS..., will be out May 1 on Rough Trade. You can pre-order the album here .
