Summer�s drawing to a close, but there�s still time to discover a new summer anthem. Perhaps it�s a tune from Cults, the indie-popsters Noisey profiled last week on youtube.com/music. Or perhaps you�ll find your summer song in one of this week�s featured playlists.
Fresh Faces: August
Every month, we feature a handful of newly-signed music partners on YouTube�s homepage. This month, the pickings were so rich we couldn�t narrow it down to just four, so we chose six artists to feature, and they�re an inspiring group that spans the gamut, from a sixteen-year-old emcee from New Jersey who�s sworn off cursing to J Dilla protege and former Slum Village member Elzhi. Add a few jazzy singer-songwriters into the mix and there�s something for everyone.
Burning Man Survival Kit
The annual art festival takes place in Nevada Black Rock Desert this week. And while the event�s official focus is art -- kinetic, sculptural and frequently fire-breathing -- it�s also a premier gathering spot for fans of electronic music. Soundsystems on the �playa� vie with each other, putting on all-night raves that host cutting-edge deejays as well as some of the business� biggest names. We�ve assembled a playlist of some sounds you might hear if you were there.
James Blake and Bon Iver: Fall Creek Boys Choir
Dubstep�s errant child and indie�s golden son have teamed up for an EP that releases later this year. They�ve dropped the first song from it on YouTube, and it�s a mysterious and spacious experiment in sound...just as we expected.
