Balam Acab vs The Weeknd // Big Boy Outside (TLS Mash)

With an R&B groove that hints of Usher's You Make Me Wanna, this mash of Balam Acab's See Birds and The Weeknd's Outside from The Leaving Scene takes the best of both worlds to create a gorgeous new one in Big Boy Outside. Check out the track below, as well as 'Echoes of Silence', the third EP from The Weeknd, here.

50 albums of 2011 // 10 - 1

At some point in 2011, the release of each of these albums made us not want to listen to anything else, but more so than any other with White Denim's 'D'. Street Joy, Keys, It's Him and every other track are brimming with soul, excitement and hyperactive musicality, and for us at least there was no other option for album of the year in 2011.

1. White Denim - 'D'



2. tUnE-yArDs - 'W H O K I L L'



tUnE-yArDs // Bizness

3. Girls - 'Father, Son, Holy Ghost'



Girls // Vomit

4. Balam Acab - 'Wander / Wonder'

Balam Acab // Oh, Why

5. Kurt Vile - 'Smoke Ring For My Halo'



6. Korallreven - 'An Album By Korallreven'

Korallreven // As Young As Yesteday

7. PJ Harvey - 'Let England Shake'



8. Active Child - 'You Are All I See'

Active Child // Hanging On

Video Games // Lana del Rey (Balam Acab Remix)

There's a hell of a lot of vitriol flying around about Lana del Rey, largely focusing on claims of style over substance / more press shots than songs / manufactued indie-doll fakery / who the hell does she think she is anyway.

With this incredibly sublime remix, Balam Acab may have done little to halt the del Rey media train, but at least she'll be getting the odd positive mention in the blogosphere, even if it is by association. Listen below, and to the original here.
