HardLiving's Music Roster = Top UK Talent (Radio 1 can't stop spinning "I Got U"!!! :)

The song "I Got U" is super dope but the pull up was a yeah-nah but who cares because this song is chronic, Def one for all the house heads in NZ fiending some real music. I was checking out the Hard Living's roster in the UK and they have some quality talent in their ranks for sure. I've also got a song by Clare Maguire a chilled out singer songwriter on the team and her song "Paper Thin" is timeless. People probably know it already but I love those Aloe-Blacc vibes that scream out of the mix. Between the piano stabs and soul inspired drums it;s a killer song, even if its on the completely opposite of Duke Dumont's tune laughs. Apparently the dj/producer hails from UKland and everyone at Radio 1 can't stop themselves from spinning his song "I Got U". Duke's previously had a number one with his hit  "Need U 100%" in the England so this could be a climber on the charts. I don't really care because all I know is I like his latest release. The vocals are so well produced they are like silk while the bass is totally their underpinning everything (as it should be) and the lyrics have that great romantic flare, of course!!!

Cage The Elephant's New Video, Band News and Album

If you haven't seen it already here is Cage the Elephant's new music video "Come a little Closer" via RCA records. The video is old-skool and tripped out reminding Gabe of Mgmt and me off children scribbling with crayons outside the lines. I first heard the song on the radio a couple months ago when it was going for airplay in NZ. I think it prefers the computer screen to be honest, its just more chilled out and not so much a dodgy-radio song laughs.

What I also found shocking was Cage's long-term guitarist leaving the band. Lincoln Parish had been with the guys for over ten years, beginning when he was only 15. He's now just on the verge of 25 and has turned to the role of the producer in Nashville aka "Music City". Although the guitarists departure from the band is a significant he will probably help out a lot shaping and playing on the bands later records. Parish decided that he wasn't all that into touring and really just wanted to make records for living. A ballsy move in my opinion especially when you are leaving something that you've spent so long building up. Lincoln's words kind of sum it up i've spent '1/3 of my life rocking in the band".

Here is also the fans stand out track "Cigarette Daydreams", its a more relaxed tune but it could definetly grow on you if given a chance;



And if your a real fiend here is the whole album "Melophobia" to stream on youtube:
