Railbird is a band that I had the pleasure of seeing live for the first time at Cameo Gallery in Brooklyn last week. According to Railbird regulars, it was their most polished, powerful set to date!
"Jump Ship"
This particular song also features Sarah Barthel of Phantogram (goddess!).
Find a free download of the track over at Brooklyn Vegan.

Bondax, a.k.a. Adam Kaye and George Townsend, are two teens
(ahem, nice JanSport backpack) from Lancaster.
While they are still green, the production duo have the ability to weave dance-worthy webs of musical ingeniuty.
"You're So" (Star Slinger ReFix)
RELEASED TODAY!
Sexy track featuring an entrancing and melodic piano riff.
The song's crowning achievement is the wonderfully chopped-yet-unscrewed female RnB vocal hook.
"Mexicana Bounce" - Seye (Bondax Remix)
Perfect easy, breezy 3:00 minute intro song for any summer electro set.
All I can listen to recently is Warp Records' dub prodigy, Rustie.
Planet Notion best describes his full-length 2011 release Glass Swords stating:
"[it] is like a hurling, acid fueled voyage with Dr. Who. The intergalactic melodies swirl between searing 80s guitar tones, meets new-millennium R&B and Pop, meets old school rave, meets
mid-decade electronic music."
"After Light"
Fullscreen these visuals and let this song carry you away on a transfixing journey.
"All Nite"
Showcases a more pop/R&B side of Rustie... very enjoyable electro.
I consider Glass Swords a must-listen for any dubstep/electronica fan.
From the deep silence of my mind Is something I'm trying to find When it speaks you know you will hear my name Not so complex in design But harder to mind As I step, in vain Won't you come down to my arms There's something I'm ready to say Would you call, my name Look at where we are Remember where we started out Never gonna be without each others love again Look at where we are, are, are I need your name Look at where we are Remember where we started out Never gonna be without each others love again Look at where we are, are, are I need your name
A memory tells us that we're blessed But opening up this chest I discovered that a heart is lame Falling behind what we guess But trying to do our best Do we stop, do we stop in frame Won't you come back to my heart There's something I'm trying to say Would you call, my name Look at where we are Remember where we started out Never gonna be without each others love again Look at where we are, are, are I need your name Look at where we are Remember where we started out Never gonna be without each others love again Look at where we are, are, are I need your name
Calling it quits You think this is easy I swear I hurt You call in the jury Call it a catch Without any strings attached
Well I'm looking for a soft place to land The forest floor The palms of your hands I'm looking for a soft place to land
I call it an ace You've gotta believe me But you're calling me names And not to my face But you're calling my spade A bluff without calling it off
I'm looking for a soft place to land The forest floor The palms of your hands I'm looking for a soft place to land
Call me in the night I don't mind I don't care I can't sleep
Call me in the day In my car On my way
Call me by my name All I want is to hear you say
I'm looking for a soft place to land The forest floor The palms of your hands I'm looking for a soft place to land The forest floor The palms of your hands The palms of your hands The palms of your hands
I've never been afraid of the highest heights Or afraid of flying now I've never been afraid of the wildest fights Not afraid of dying But now I want off this ride 'cause you're scaring me and I don't like where we're going I need a new fun fair 'cause you're scaring me and I don't like where we're going
And now you're gonna miss me I know you're gonna miss me I guarantee you'll miss me 'cause you changed the way you kiss me
'cause you changed the way you kiss me
We used to be so so soulful Al Green on the background vocals T-Total we're on the next high We get by with a so called soul mate made for each other chit chat But that dried up wise up to the cutting edge facts Now I'm chilling on my Jack Jones Looking for a way back home but I can't get back
Our love feels wrong please wind it back Our love feels wrong can't hide the cracks I guarantee you'll miss me 'cause you changed the way you kiss me
I've never been afraid of the highest heights Or afraid of flying now I've never been afraid of the wildest fights Not afraid of dying I need a new fun fair 'cause you're scaring me and I don't like where we're going I guarantee you'll miss me 'cause you changed the way you kiss me
'cause you changed the way you kiss me
Our love feels wrong please wind it back Our love feels wrong can't hide the cracks I guarantee you'll miss me 'cause you changed the way you kiss me I guarantee you'll miss me 'cause you changed the way you kiss me
Have you ever noticed,
That I’m not acting as I used to do before?
Have you ever wondered,
Why I always keep on coming back for more?
What have you done to me,
I’ll never be the same I'll tell you for sure
I’ll never be the same I'll tell you for sure
I’ll never be the same I'll tell you for sure
You really are my ecstasy,
My real life fantasy (oh yeah)
You really are my ecstasy
My real life fantasy (oh yeah)
Not that I’m complaining,
A more beautiful vision - I have never seen
If you don’t mind me saying,
A lifelong ambition to fulfill my dream
What have you done to me,
I’ll never be the same I'll tell you for sure
I’ll never be the same I'll tell you for sure
I’ll never be the same I'll tell you for sure
You really are my ecstasy,
My real life fantasy (oh yeah
You really are my ecstasy,
My real life fantasy (oh yeah)
You really are my ecstasy
(There can be no other While we still have each other)
My real life fantasy (There can be no other
While we still have each other)
You really are my ecstasy,
(I'll never be the same,
I'll tell you for sure)
(There can be no other
While we still have each other)
My real life fantasy, oh yeah
(I'll never be the same,
I'll tell you for sure)
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy
My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover ...
Have a hangover
Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Has a deliciously Weezer-esque quality to it... Yummy.
Oh-way-oh-a-whoa We were born in the desert, we were reared in a cave.. We conquered in the sun, but we lived in the shade Yeah baby we were savage.. we existed to kill.. Our history is damaged, at least it was a thrill!
But now we can see! Now that our vision is strong, we dont have to admit we were wrong! Now we can see, but the images don't stick! Our enemies lay dead on the ground, and still we kick!
Oh-way-oh-a-whoa
Now we can see! The warnings and the signs.. Reading between the lines like writing on the wall! Now we can see! What do we need? We should need nothing, nothing at all!
We were born on an island, we grew out of the sand.. Never saw another creature, never knew another man.. Yeah baby we were nothing, we existed for less! Our present was empty, our history a mess!
but now we can see! Now we do as we please! Now we do away with our disease! Now we can see! Now the image sticks! We still need the medicine quick! We still take the pill, but only for the fix!
Now we can see! The warnings and the signs.. Reading between the lines like writing on the wall! Now we can see! What do we need? We should need nothing, nothing at all!
