Peaking Lights’ upcoming album Lucifer is already becoming my de facto Summer 2012 soundtrack and it’s only April. Stream the ridiculously rad first single below, featuring adorable guest vocals from the couple’s son, Mikko. Blue Ivy who?
And while I’m on a Peaking Lights kick, here’s their delectably dubbed out take on Nite Jewel single “One Second of Love.” Yes, I know these songs are already out an about at this point, but they’re too damn good for me not to talk about them.
Nite Jewel - One Second of Love (Peaking Lights One Love Remix)
Hear the exquisite closing track from Laurel Halo’s forthcoming full-length debut below. Quarantine drops June 5 in the States via Hyperdub. That cover alone makes me think album of the year contender.
Frankie Rose will be playing the North Star Bar next Thursday, April 5 in support of her shimmering new album Interstellar. Thanks to North Star and my man Josh, I have not one, but TWO pairs of tickets to give away!
I’ll be giving away the first pair through my blog this week. Just email me at popthatrocks@gmail.com with your name and favorite album of 2012 so far by Monday, April 2. I’ll select a winner at random that day.
For the second pair, listen in to my weekly radio show Transmission this Thursday for details.
Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor (sorry couldn’t help myself).
From their self-titled debut album, out May 1 on Mexican Summer.
