The Hotness: Donkeyboy

Published on 2012-05-04 15:02:09

Donkeyboy is a Norwegian pop quintet comprised of lead singer, Cato Sundberg, and Kent Sundberg, Peter Michelsen, Thomas Drabløs, and Alexander Garborg Ågedal. As is the case with many Scandinavian bands, Donkeyboy are all about making songs that seep into one’s consciousness and hold them ransom for days. One word: Hooks. Their sound is pop and reminds [...] > read more

The Hotness: Emily Wells

Published on 2012-05-03 14:36:05

Emily Wells is an NYC-based violinist who also sings and plays a bunch of other instruments. Not sure how I came across Emily, but I’ve been pretty addicted to her 9th album, Mama. (I can’t believe she’s come out with 9 albums and I’m only just now hearing about her.) Like many good things in [...] > read more

Site Update

Published on 2012-03-13 16:00:21

Hi, everyone. It’s been a long time since I wrote anything here on FH. Due to majorly scary health issues, I’ve had to put my writing on the back burner for a while. I have no idea when I’ll be well enough to be able to go back to life as usual, but I will [...] > read more

The Hotness: Work Drugs

Published on 2012-02-28 12:30:51

Work Drugs is a Philly-based ‘sedative wave, smooth-fi’ duo, comprised of Thomas Chrystal and Benjamin Louisiana. I have a major soft spot for Philadelphia, in general, having spent the majority of my 20s there. Over the years, Philly’s always had an interesting and bustling music scene – with everything from rave, to indie rock, garage [...] > read more

VIDEO PREMIERE: Mint Julep “To The Sea”

Published on 2012-02-28 10:36:28

I’ve been all over Mint Julep‘s latest album, Save Your Season, since its release in late November of last year. A few weeks ago, you may remember that I featured my favorite track off the album, To The Sea. Well, do I have a good ear or what? To The Sea has just been released [...] > read more

The Hotness: Terranova

Published on 2012-02-27 15:30:38

Terranova is a German trip hop-y dance pop trio comprised of Fetisch, Marco Meister and Kaos who have been around for YEARS. In fact, if memory serves me correctly, they were one of the first artists signed to (one of my favorite indie labels of all-time) !K7 Records, along with Kruder & Dorfmeister, Rae & [...] > read more

VIDEO PREMIERE: Saint Etienne “Tonight”

Published on 2012-02-27 14:30:25

Saint Etienne is a UK-based indie dance trio consisting of Sarah Cracknell, Bob Stanley, and Pete Wiggs. Having spent every summer of my youth in England with my family, I grew up listening to Saint Etienne’s music and they’ve always held a very special place in my heart. For me, they’ve tended to be more [...] > read more

The Hotness: Amanda Mair

Published on 2012-02-27 13:00:04

Like most music geeks, when 2012 first began I made a list of albums I was looking forward to being released this year. At or near the top of my list was the debut album from Swedish teen, Amanda Mair. Generally, I tend to have a stupidly somewhat snobbish view of teenage artists. In fairness to [...] > read more

Korallreven US Tour!

Selebrities is a Brooklyn-based synth-y new wave trio signed to Cascine, and comprised of lead singer Maria Usbeck, Jer Robert Paulin and Max Peterson. You may remember that I wrote about Selebrities last year upon the release of their Joy Division-y debut album, Delusions. That album brought me back to the days of rainy summer [...] > read more

The Hotness: Sleigh Bells

Published on 2012-02-21 20:10:58

Sleigh Bells is a Brooklyn-based noise pop duo comprised of lead singer Alexis Krauss and guitarist Derek E. Miller. These cats have blown up in the last few years and have been the toast of indie circles all over the place. Admittedly, it’s taken me a while to figure out why everyone loves them so [...] > read more

VIDEO PREMIERE: Jessie Ware “Running”

Published on 2012-02-21 09:23:10

Jessie Ware is a London-based singer songwriter who is nothing short of a star in the making. The trend these days is for new solo artists to spend some time recording guest vocals for various dance producers before coming out with records of their own (Clare Maguire, Cocknbullkid, etc). The Jessie Ware marketing strategy seems [...] > read more

The Fredhead Weekend 10: Changes

17 February 2012 Hey, everyone! I hope you’ve all had a good week amidst the political chaos ruling the airwaves of late. I’m not going to get into my thoughts on either Chris Christie’s gay marriage veto in New Jersey or the Republican party’s ‘veto’ of women’s health – mostly because I’m feeling calm and [...] > read more

The Sad Reality Of Madonna In 2012

Published on 2012-02-17 17:57:38

Madonna still interests me – though more from a business perspective than as an artist. I’ll always buy her records and enjoy them. However, I find myself somewhat disappointed by what she’s become and increasingly more thankful for the emergence of Lady Gaga. Perhaps it’s representative of where she is in her life right now, [...] > read more

Overlooked: Morcheeba “Let Me See”

Published on 2012-02-17 09:13:33

If I were to name my top 25 albums of all-time, I’m pretty sure that Morcheeba‘s 1998 masterpiece “Big Calm” would be in there. Released during the height of the trip-hop era, Big Calm is packed with back-to-back catchy choruses, dreamy production and, of course, Skye’s beautiful voice. Back in the late 90s, I was [...] > read more

The Hotness: Elodie

Published on 2012-02-16 14:30:25

Elodie is a Swedish solo artist who makes very pensive pop. I wrote about her last year upon the release of her chugging 90s house-sounding single, Go Away; which left my appetite more than a little wet for more music. I don’t know about you, but I really love when artists showcase their versatility right [...] > read more

VIDEO PREMIERE: Cassie “King Of Hearts”

Published on 2012-02-16 10:30:30

Cassie is the recording moniker of NYC-based solo artist, Cassandra Ventura. She was born in New London, CT – which is about an hour or so north of where I grew up. I tend not to spend too much time writing about major label artists with huge recording budgets such as Cassie, mostly because there [...] > read more
