Katy B Achieves Strange Alchemy in Classy One Direction Cover Posted: 09 Jan 2014 10:40 AM PST Katy B doing 1D might be a moment to reflect on just how far the music landscape has come the past few years. The boy band is the one doing folk-flecked stompers based around acoustic guitar. The indie-credible artist swooping in to cover them happens to be a conventionally great pop vocalist known for singing over electronic dance music...

A Sunny Day in Glasgow: "In Love With Useless (The Timeless Geometry In The Tradition Of Passing)" Posted: 08 Jan 2014 01:18 PM PST Over the span of three albums and several EPs, A Sunny Day in Glasgow have been just about the only 21st century band to do anything original within the realm of shoegaze. Their sound (and subsequent attempts to describe it) can be likened to trying to reconstruct your own dreams, though typically, ASDIG fashion ambient, dance music and dream-pop into an ecstatic whole that about defies category altogether. After a prolific four-year burst, the Philadelphia group had been silent since 2010's Autumn, Again. They recently teased that they were sitting on a new record, and finally, ASDIG reemerge with "In Love With Useless (The Timeless Geometry in the Tradition of Passing)." They've retained their proclivity for unwieldy, sardonic song titles, though the time off has invigorated them and lent a new sense of stakes to their music. The vocals have never been as clear, the production is considerably more streamlined. Though it forgoes a chorus in favor of fluid melodic phrases and Ben Daniels' warped sonics, a surprising overlay of a pitched-up hook and DJ cross-fade filters suggests these passionate introverts have gotten over their panic attacks. The one intelligible lyric—"I feel so happy, I'm in love with you"—express a sentiment that shoegaze and dance music always aspired to in their own ways, and while "In Love With Useless" isn't "club music" in practice, it's an ideal for people who are theoretically drawn to the community, if not so much the actual "dancing."
