New 'Muse' ic

Yesterday, Muse released their first single off the upcoming album, The 2nd Law.  The track is titled 'Madness'; and although it does not reach the full dubstep of 'unsustainable', there is still an underlying electronic influence heard in the warped bass that pulses throughout the song.  But unlike the forementioned song, 'Madness' contains a screaming Bellamy solo that ties them to their rock roots despite this sudden push in a new direction.  The new album is released October 2nd and Madness is available now on Muse's site.

Give it a listen now!

Axelrad New EP

Only 4 months after the release of their debut EP, Itai and Eden Axelrad are back with a summer EP to keep our thirsty ears quenched.  And after a few listens to the new EP, these drum and bass samples did not fail to satisfy.  With only a small number of songs under their belt, Axelrad has already managed to develop its own, unique sound.  Swirling ambient synths dodge the heavy snare and bass syncopations to create an experimental sound without being esoteric and turning away listeners.  With this fast pace release of music, I can only say I am anxious to hear what comes next from our local siamese samplers.

Enjoy the new summer EP for free HERE
