ATG has previously expressed their deep love and affection for Luke Temple and his cohorts in Here We Go Magic. The group is back with a brand new song, “How Do I Know,” just in time for the summer. “How Do I Know” is a clever exercise in crescendos, slowly building up an upbeat guitar riff until the track explodes into a indie pop masterpiece worthy of soundtracking the season’s turn. Here We Go Magic’s album, A Different Ship, comes out May 8th on Secretly Canadian.

The Black Lips want their fans on the dance floor, pronto. The B-side to their newest single, “Dance With You,” proclaims it so. But these rockers don’t exactly provide the sonic backdrop conducive to twists, turns, and shimmies. Nope. Head-banging, sporadic fits, kinetic freak-outs, guitar-smashing, and the gator dance would be more appropriate for this brooding, thrashing psych rock number. A bass line fit for a 1950s television series private eye serves as the canvas for the group’s signature sloppy, scuzzy garage rock glory. Enjoy.

mewithoutYou is set to return to the scene with Ten Stories, the band’s first album since 2009′s It’s All Crazy! It’s All False! It’s All A Dream! It’s Alright. Our first taste of the record is “February, 1878,” a powerful album opener that stays true to the Philly outfit’s inimitable brand of spoken word psych-rock. mewithoutYou will be releasing Ten Stories on their own label, Pine Street Music Collection, on May 15th.

Luke Temple is no stranger to ATG. The evidence is clear: we like his style. Temple and his cohorts from Here Were Go Magic are back with a brand new song from their upcoming album, A Different Ship. Their class of psychedelic electro-folk is in full effect on “Make Up Your Mind.” Temple sings has if he is struggling to contain himself, slowly releasing tension at the end of the chorus. It is one long crescendo that would be perfect for a daylong montage crammed into four minutes.

What can I say about Miami Horror and Benjamin Plant except that I love his curly locks and want him to serenade me with sweet disco tunes. From 2008′s Bravado EP to 2010′s Illumination, Miami Horror hasn’t missed a single dance floor beat, making them the perfect subject for remix treatment from DJ’s and producers everywhere. And they have been remixed quite a bit.

Today’s remix is by 16 year old Finnish phenom Lenno. We’re no stranger to the talents of Lenno and this time he’s teamed up with a fellow Finnish friend, Jesse Oliver, to remix “Holidays”, giving the already disco-y track some extra bounce. Off Illumination, “Holidays” features the vocals of VEGA/Neon Indian’s Alan Palomo. This is a next level track for the dance floor.

Nicos Gun is a four-piece from Philadelphia. They’re a relatively new band and feature young members who’ve been around for a while. Drummer Harry Zelnick has done studio work with an array of artists including Kelly Clarkson, 50 Cent and Ludacris. Other members have spent time in various other bands including American Babies and Elevator Fight. Having said that, this band sounds nothing like any of these other projects. It seems that the four members have come together to finally make the music they want to be making. “Control” is the standout track thus far and features some seriously arpeggiated, psychedelic synth chords coupled with isolated drum pad sounds that David Byrne would be proud of.

Go big or go home — a lesson apparently well-learned by Emil & Friends, who recently put out a beautiful double video for “Prescriptions,” a fantastic track off their latest album, Lo & Behold, and an unreleased song, “Let Your Heart.” Shot on location in Bali, Indonesia, the visually-stunning piece follows an out-of-place Westerner on his journey to find meaning in this exotic, Southeast Asian country. Definitely worth the eight minutes. Lo & Behold is out now on Cantora Records.

Fixers have recently been called “the UK’s closest thing to a Beach Boys on acid tribute” – I have rarely ever read truer words. In preparation for the December 5th release of their Imperial Goddess Of Mercy EP, they’ve given a few tracks away for free via Facebook. Not included in that lot, but still a standout jam by the band is “Majesties Ranch.” The song lends itself well to a chilly autumn afternoon. It’s got bright peaks and rolling synths coupled with four-part vocal harmonies. A full length album is expected sometime in spring of 2012.
