So I am enduring the snowmeggedon here in DC area.  2 feet of snow in two days… not normal.  Anyways, some good came out of this blizzard because I discovered Lo-Fi-Fnk’s new single “Marchin In”.  It is catchy, funky, and Swedish.  What more could you ask for?  I don’t have many details about the single or whether there is a new LP coming soon.  I do know you can get more info about their 2006 release Boylife here.  Enjoy!

Thanks to the great blog Everybody Taste I discovered the band Sleigh Bells.  I was very skeptical at first and was originally drawn to the song because I recognized the Funkadelic sample of “Can You Get to That?”.  After about a minute in I was sold.  The song sucks you in, and gets better every time you listen to it.  This is a great band, and although “Ring Ring” is one of their more chill songs this band boasts bombastic beats that are only matched by the sheer amount of distortion used to produce their sound.  This fuzzy groove is complimented by the soft, cool and cutting vocals of the bands singer Alexis Krauss.  Supposedly they are releasing an EP soon, and you can track down various singles on iTunes, hypem, and your favorite mp3 blogs.  Enjoy!

PS:  Check out Sleigh Bells song “Crown on the Ground”.
