Weekly Playlist: RAINDEAR
It's rare when we're this excited about a burgeoning artist but right now we just can't get enough of Swedish singer RAINDEAR's desert pop sound. If you're someone like us who enjoys the Swedish pop sounds of Lykke Li and Kate Boy, then be sure to add RAINDEAR's latest single "I'm On Ice" to your playlist. The track is a perfect storm of dark electro synthpop and just what we need to help warm up…
FAULT Weekly Playlist: Benji Lewis
It's been a while since our last weekly playlist, but we're back this week with Australian singer/songwriter Benji Lewis! For this edition, we're doing something a little bit different. Benji recently released his debut EP Hearts & Halos, a collection of four sultry nu R&B tracks centered around love and relationships. With a vocal sound & style that can be likened to Sam Smith,…
FAULT Magazine Weekly Playlist: Pistol Shrimp
Electropop duo Pistol Shrimp is a perfect melding of slick production and songwriting from David Burreddu and US based vocalist Aaron Peterson. Built on catchy analog synthersizer leads, rich baselines and infectious vocals hooks, Pistol Shrimp's music is heavily influenced by '80s nu wave music that calls to mind iconic artists such as Pet Shop Boys and one of our all-time favorites, New Order.……
FAULT Magazine Weekly Playlist: Sneaky Sound System
Sneaky Sound System aka Black Angus and Miss Connie aka two people we wish we were real life friends with. To say that we're fans of Sneaky would be an understatement. You may remember the Aussie duo's 2011 dance anthem meets love letter single "Big" or "Really Want To See You Again," both songs off their album "From Here To Anywhere." They've both been staples on our playlist for quite some…
FAULT Magazine Weekly Playlist: JR Nelson
We love the "come hither" stare Future R&B producer JR Nelson is giving us in his press photo and we're impressed even more with the music the DC based artist has been putting out over the last year just at the tender age of 20. With chart topping remixes of Andra Day and Bon Iver, we have a feeling that 2016 is going to be even bigger, hopefully with some more original tracks. We asked…
FAULT Magazine Weekly Playlist: My Gold Mask
We've been fans of Chicago based trio My Gold Mask since hearing "Voices to Ghosts" off their 2009 self-titled album so when they asked us to do a playlist, we of course jumped at the opportunity. A blend of industrial pop and more experimental sounds, the music of My Gold Mask calls to mind the 90s alternative styles of Garbage and MGM's lead singer Gretta Rochelle could very well be a modern…
FAULT Magazine Weekly Playlist: Audien
Grammy nominated producer Audien (real name Nate Rathbun) recently released his most ambitious and comprehensive project to date, the Daydreams EP, a four song collection showcasing his ability to cross genres. It also features one of his most recognizable collaborations with country trio Lady Antebellum. If you thought country and electronic music couldn't work together, be prepared to be proven…
FAULT Magazine Weekly Playlist: Elohim
We've been quietly obsessing about LA based rising indie pop idol Elohim and when the mysterious do-it-all producer/singer/songwriter said yes, we did a little happy dance.
It's rare to find artists who consistently put out hits, but that's just the case with Elohim. After making her debut earlier this year with the catchier than hell "She Talks Too Much," Elohim followed it up with two more…
