Today, Sky Ferreira–who I'd like to make love to on a tennis court if you know what I mean–shares the music video for "Everything is Embarassing", which was co-wrote with Blood Orange and Ariel Rechtshaid. Previously, Pitchfork awarded "Everything is Embarassing" their "Best New Track" distinction. The track will appear on Sky's much-anticipated Ghost EP, which is due October 16th via Capitol Records. For the EP, Sky has been working with a diverse group of producers and songwriters including Cass McCombs (who rules, and if you dont know his work you need to get the fuck on it that), Greg Kurstin (Santigold, The Shins, Foster The People), Jon Brion (Fiona Apple, Aimee Mann), Ariel Rechtshaid (Usher, Charli XCX), and Blake Mills (Band of Horses). Check it out, you nit.
If you have no plans this weekend and are in Sydney or Perth, Boris from Japan are in town. They will be playing their cult classic album from 2000 Flood from start to finish, plus other material from their extensive catalog. Apparently Melbourne went off last night, and there are still tickets available for Sydney and Perth. All the details are on Handsome Tours site.
Last night TOY wowed a capacity crowd with their psychedelic rock sound at Oxford Art Factory. The exclusive show was apart of Bulmers Underground, a new music platform created to support up and coming British Talent.
TOY is a carefully crafted kaleidoscope whirl of basslines, entrancing muted beats and epic choruses that explode seemingly from nowhere. Much fuzzier than Deerhunter, more jam-inclined than The Horrors and far lighter than Slowdive if you haven’t heard their debut album I highly suggest listening to it now. TOY Soundcloud
My pick of the bunch: Left myself Behind

New favorite Scottish group! Caught these guys last night at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. It was horrible having to go to Brooklyn (God hates Brooklyn), but these guys made it worth the while. They’re on a 17-date US tour right now (including Lane Way Detroit), and after that they’re going to Sweden I think? Check here for deets. If you get the chance to see these guys–see these guys.
