Straight allies, Florence Welch of Florence & the Machine and Dev Hynes of Blood Orange join a growing list of musicians standing with the Human Rights Campaign on the right side of history. Equality Rocks! Learn more at www.hrc.org/equalityrocks #EQUALITYROCKS Filmed at Le Poisson Rouge, event produced by Barbi Rockers and hosted by Amanda Leigh Dunn.

Loving this cover of Icona Pop's "I Love It" by Florence, sans-Machine but with Dev Hynes. Random but good and further evidence of Hynes' imminent ascent to major-league producer status. 

Hat tip to Barnickle for finding!

Video: Blood Orange drops the video for new song "Chamakay"

Directed by Adam Bainbridge. Buy Chamakay at iTunes: http://smarturl.it/Chamakay-iTunes "I decided to visit Georgetown, Guyana for the first time, the town where my mother is from. She, herself has not been back for 30 years, 3 years before I was born. I tracked down family members, including my 92 year old grandfather, who I had never met before.

Basically this is like jamming with Enya in the Caribbean. Get ready for some next level R&B shit. 

Video: Colored Emotions - Night Moves

Buy Colored Emotions at iTunes - http://smarturl.it/dfpz3l With inspiration ranging from Pink Floyd and Todd Rundgren to Curtis Mayfield and Neil Young, Night Moves' debut album blends both psychedelia and Americana, with modest bursts of soul and pop.

'Colored Emotions' is full of the hazy longing that comes with late steamy summer nights and the video seems to have gone a little stir crazy from the heat - it's a surreal affair.

Nights Moves take inspiration from a varied set of influences - Pink Floyd, Todd Rundgren, Curtis Mayfield and Neil Young, and the result is west-coast Americana draped in psychedelic pop.

The single is out on 7 October, but the album is out now - check it out on Spotify:

Video: Voices Drifting - The Holidays

The first single taken from the Holidays second album, due for release in early 2014. We shot the clip in an outdoor pool in the middle of winter, as we discovered the pool heater was broken.

This is easily the best music video I've seen in a while... The shoot occurred in a swimming pool in the middle of winter (gutsy enough) and the plan was for a single take video of the song being sung under water (very gutsy). It took a fairly hefty 15 aborted takes before they managed it and even on the succesful cut the singer Simon still almost drowned (you can see him run out of breath at the end of the second verse)!

Still, spectacular and a pretty good track too!

Single Review: Teenagers In Heat - Holy Ghost!

Holy Ghost's new release picks up where their somewhat brilliant last release, 'Dumb Disco Ideas', left off.

This is similarly dumb and fun disco inspired pop but where 'Dumb Disco Ideas' was sassy with its excessively punky synths and Arthur Russell-style moog 'Teenagers In Heat' is far less aloof. There is an intensely melodic nature to this track - listening to it is like mainlining Wham! bars whilst listening to Yellow Magic Orchestra.

The pitch-adjusted synths zip along atop a chugging drum beat and ridiculously rapid hi-hats whilst a series of bells ring out a melody that grants the track a Japanese feel. It's ridiculously over the top but it is precisely this fact that makes it as enjoyable as it is - and the instrumental version only emphasises how extreme the track is. It might not have quite the long-lasting appeal of Holy Ghost!'s best work, but it's pretty likeable all the same.

The new album from Holy Ghost!, Dynamics, is out on DFA on 10 September. Check out the video for 'Teenagers In Heat' below or download the track for free from Soundcloud.Holy Ghost! drop a new single.
