New Artist: Ferreira Sky - Superstar on the Rise

I'm know an instant fan of Ferreira Sky. I thought she was someone that was signed by a drop kick producer that had made some hits. In actual fact this girl is awesome. I like how she is a bit unsure of herself and her own musical abilities! but really she has nothing to worry about. Her artistic call to collaborate with Gasper Noe was tremendous and has paid a divined. His art direction or guidance has helped Sky really made cut through visually, her video clips and artwork are very oringial and yet so familiar (psycho).

In many ways she reminds me of a porcelain doll and a super-model wrapped up in a fragile body embed with a rockers die-hard soul. The news on the street is that she will be touring with musics number one chick Miley Cyrus in 2014. No doubt the tour will go off and their will be some headlines involved thats for sure haha. Check out the video that converted someone that hadn't even heard her music to a person keen to see more from this talented and beautiful woman. I knew that grey t-shirt in Ariel Pinks video was a piss take haha!!!

Introducing: Phantogram - Electro-Rock Duo from Saratoga Springs, New York

If you haven't heard of these Phantogram already don't worry, but they are worth checking out. Their sound reminds me off Passion pit yet more grimy but with better vocals. I just recently stumbled upon the duos new video on the myoldkentmyoldkentucky

I was skeptical at first of these guys at first because they don't really look like stars. However, their music is on another level, truly :). Apparently they have worked with a some of the top artists on respective backing tracks including 3 songs on Big Boi of the Outkast's latest album (even though the the group has faded from mainstream visibility, oh you fickle world lol).

The New York dance-rock extraordinares have also toured with the who's who of US talent including;  The Antlers, Beach House, Metric, Minus The Bear, Caribou, Zero 7, The xx, Ra Ra Riot, School of Seven Bells, Yeasayer, Brazilian Girls, Future Islands, and The Glitch Mob. And have also been regulars at some of the biggest festivals across the region like Cochella, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, etc. 

The singing of Sarah Barthel is splendid and almost otherworldly while the production is gritty raw yet very commercial. These guys are a band to watch out for as they will be releasing their first record on a major label very soon. It's fantastic to see independents doing so well and representing New York in style.
