More on American Royalty

I don't know exactly why that Pharoahe Monch song is at the beginning, but I am digging it; definitely many points to American Royalty. Here's a link to a video of them re-recording a sped of version of their song "For the Record".  Super awesome, especially when the vocals kick in. GET PUMPED.

Phantogram?

Liked this review on the BBC website of Phantogram's Eyelid Movies, commenting on how their music sounds like, "drunken robots walking arm and arm down the Champs-Elysees.":

BBC Review

Artist: PHANTOGRAM

We've solidified our second headliner: Phantogram! They hail all the way from New York (yeah!), playing this really titillating and awesome combination of electronic samples, synth and live guitar; A sort of dancey, indie-rock aesthetic that will be certifiably enjoyable at Kohoutek. Below is my favorite song of theres "When I'm Small" from their 2010 album Eyelid Movies.
