Song: Jungle - Platoon [download here]

Jungle have absolutely no online social presence. How weird is that? I mean, perhaps that wasn’t so abnormal 10 years ago, but in this day and age?!

No matter, it’s the music that counts. And in this case, their debut single “Platoon” certainly sets the stage for some interesting music. In fact, the song is catchy enough that it’s already caught the attention of BBC Radio 1′s Zane Lowe. So, in that sense, we’re a bit late on this track.

“Platoon” is set to be released via Chess Club Records as a debut AA-side single, alongside another track called “Drops.” The London-based band aren’t exactly letting on to much else, but ultimately the grooviness of this track speaks for itself.

There’s a limited pressing of 500 available, so if you’re keen — grab a copy here.

Song: The Neighbourhood - West Coast [download here]

In case you ever doubted where The Neighbourhood come from, a listen to this song will clear things up. Touching on some of hip-hop influence we’ve seen in prior songs, “West Coast” sees lead singer Jesse Rutherford rhyming about California for a little over four minutes.

The song was released today via P&P as part of a split 7″ that lucky fans will only be able to find at the band’s shows. These releases will also include new songs from accompanying bands such as Lovelife, The 1975 and JMSN.

Song: Smith Westerns - 3am Spiritual [download here]

About two months ago we picked up the first new single from Chicago-based indie rock band Smith Westerns, titled “Varsity.” Today, the band unveiled the second track off their upcoming album Soft Will: “3am Spiritual.”

The song takes a relatively inoffensive indie rock approach, keeping a steady and predictable first 3 minutes. Then comes the bridge (boy do I love a good bridge!) — providing a little over a minute of music that could have been taken right out of Wilco’s book. Quite fitting given the two bands come from the same city.

Soft Will is out June 25th via Mom+Pop.

“Don’t Try” is the closing track on the album, and was released this morning as the band’s latest single. The song comes as part of a promotion of the band’s upcoming tour schedule, which includes stops at The Great Escape, Field Day, Latitude, Glastonbury and Isle of Wight.

While some of my favorite tracks are not yet available on Soundcloud (the instrumentals on “Fireproof” stand out in particular), I figured I’d feature what’s available: in this case, the third track titled “Don’t Swallow The Cap.”

Song: Matthew Koma - One Night (Vicetone Remix) [download here]

I just spent a month living in Amsterdam, and not once did it cross my radar that Vicetone were from a city nearby called Groningen. Perhaps that’s because we’ve never actually featured them on Indie Shuffle, even though for me, their name is totally familiar.

So in light of that, it’s high time we give them their debut on the website. And what better way than with their progressive house remix of Matthew Koma’s “One Night.”

The original song – driven by poppy synth work and Matthew’s fun.-esque vocals — actually managed to hit #12 on the charts in Ukraine, of all places. It’s definitely a bit cookie cutter, but works well intertwined with house twist added by Vicetone.

The official remix will be available in the United States on May 21st, but those of you in Europe can grab it on iTunes now.

Song: Manu Chao - Me Llaman Calle [download here]

Manu Chao has, without a doubt, crafted two of my favorite albums ever: Clandestino (1998) and Próxima Estación: Esperanza (2001). Unfortunately, with the exception of his amazingly-produced album for Amadou & Mariam, all subsequent releases have fallen flat.

La Radiolina, his most-recent release (2007), gained a good bit of international attention, and I recall Time Magazine rating “Me Lamman Calle” as one of the best songs of the year. Alas, that was the only real highlight from the album, with all other songs lacking the luster and appeal of prior releases.

That said, I still enjoy this song on it’s own, and it happens to be suited perfectly for the great Sunday we’re having in Barcelona today.

Song: Monophona - Give up [download here]

Saturday is a great day for some downtempo trip-hop. So when Luxembourg-based duo Monphona popped up my radar today, it didn’t take much to convince me they deserved a spot as Song of the Day.

A collaboration between DJ and Producer Philippe Schirrer and singer-songwriter Claudine Muno, Monophona recently released their first album The Spy, which you can listen to and purchase on Bandcamp. The highlight for me has to be this gentle track “Give Up,” which strikes a beautiful balance between electronic and acoustic elements.

If you’re curious to hear more, there’s also a great downtempo cover of Morrisey’s “Everyday Is Like Sunday.”

Song: Lana Del Rey - Queen Of Disaster [download here]

I’ve got to hand it to Lana Del Rey: she’s stuck around real good, certainly outliving the expectations of those who panned her Saturday Night Live performance.

The best example of this is probably her success as part of The Great Gatsby soundtrack — while I haven’t seen the movie, rumor has it her song “Young And Beautiful” makes an appearance ~5 times throughout the film.

We’re not entirely sure where this upbeat new single “Queen Of Disaster” is coming from. Is it a leak of new material? Is it an older demo? Doesn’t really matter — we’re digging the tempo either way.

It’s got all the signature Abel Tesfaye elements: dirty language, a bit of shit talking, sex, and uhhh, lots of whining. The only real standouts for me are: 1) the bridge and transition that takes place around the 3-minute mark; and 2) the fact that the song is almost 8 minutes long. But hey, I guess that’s acceptable if you look at this as two separate tracks in one.

Song: Tunng - The Village [download here]

A little over a month back, we picked up on Tunng’s first single “So Far From Here,” off their upcoming album Turbines. The song was a multi-layered folktronica exploration that had a bit of a stunted rhythm. In a way I’d have to say that it was a little hard to approach — unless of course, you were already a fan of Tunng (as I am).

Fortunately — now that we’re about a month away from the album’s release (June 17th) — the band have gone ahead and unveiled a second single, this one titled “The Village.”

The track starts off with 10 seconds of “woah, what’s that noise?,” quickly transitioning to a bit of a clangy, Western-feel. With it, Tunng have once again displayed an atypical approach to rhythm and melody, establishing some type of crossroad between folk-rock, experimental psychedelia and indietronica.

While the end finishes on a bit of a repetitive / jarring note, I’d have to say that this track leaves me keen to hear what more they have in store. If you find yourself in the same boat, you can pre-order Turbines here.

Song: Smallpools - Dreaming [download here]

Today was the first time we’ve heard Smallpools. In fact, it’s probably the first time anyone on the internet has. And boy have they made a splash with this new song “Dreaming”!

The track was premiered today by Neon Gold, the same label responsible for single releases from folks like Passion Pit, Penguin Prison, Marina & The Diamonds and Sir Sly.

“Dreaming” is incredibly catchy and upbeat — in many ways reminiscent of Ghost Beach’s song “Miracle.” Of course, one can also make easy comparisons to the aforementioned Passion Pit, as well as the super poppy band Fun.

Overall, two thumbs up on this one!

Song: The Dodos - Confidence [download here]

A couple months back it was announced that The Dodos were working on a new album. They were one of my favorite bands in 2008, so understandably I was quite excited to hear what was in store.

“Confidence” is the first new single off the band’s upcoming album Carrier, out on August 27th. The album will be their fifth to date, following up 2011′s No Color.

For those of you familiar with The Dodos, you’ll no doubt notice that “Confidence” stays true to the sound established by the trio in albums past. In doing so, it leaves me at a middle ground: there’s obviously nothing amazingly evolutionary here to get me excited, but it’s quite nice to hear something from a band I’ve grown to like over the last few years.

Grab your pre-order here, and peep the tracklist below.

Tracklist:
1. Transformer
2. Substance
3. Confidence
4. Stranger
5. Relief
6. Holidays
7. Family
8. The Current
9. Destroyer
10. Death

Song: The Dodos - Confidence [download here]

A couple months back it was announced that The Dodos were working on a new album. They were one of my favorite bands in 2008, so understandably I was quite excited to hear what was in store.

“Confidence” is the first new single off the band’s upcoming album Carrier, out on August 27th. The album will be their fifth to date, following up 2011′s No Color.

For those of you familiar with The Dodos, you’ll no doubt notice that “Confidence” stays true to the sound established by the trio in albums past. In doing so, it leaves me at a middle ground: there’s obviously nothing amazingly evolutionary here to get me excited, but it’s quite nice to hear something from a band I’ve grown to like over the last few years.

Grab your pre-order here, and peep the tracklist below.

Tracklist:
1. Transformer
2. Substance
3. Confidence
4. Stranger
5. Relief
6. Holidays
7. Family
8. The Current
9. Destroyer
10. Death
11. The Ocean

Song: Butch Clancy - Far Away From Me (Ft. Amy K) [download here]

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written about any dubstep, but I’ve come back to Butch Clancy’s collaboration with Amy K repeatedly over the last few days. It’s got the perfect balance of female vocals, harmonization, womp womp wobble and chord progression.

Released via Dim Mak, “Far Away From Me” has apparently had a couple incarnations on the internet — though (perhaps fortunately), this final version was the first that crossed my ears.

Wompppppppppppp.

Song: Crystal Fighters - LA Calling [download here]

I feel a little redundant featuring Crystal Fighters for the SOTD slot again, but it appears that in the wake of Daft Punk releasing their new album, everyone else has gone quiet. And to be fair, the post from four days ago was a remix — hardly a brand new original.

“LA Calling” is the umpteenth single to be released off the band’s new album Caves (available for pre-order here), and might just be one of my favorites. It’s catchy, upbeat, fast-paced and doesn’t last too long.

All in all, I’m calling it a winner — as is this album, in general.

Song: Daft Punk - Instant Crush (Ft. Julian Casablancas) [download here]

Someone, somehow, somewhere has uploaded the entire stream of Random Access Memories to Grooveshark. While that’s been removed, you can now listen on iTunes.

Among the lineup is a track that I’ve been looking forward to a whole lot: “Instant Crush,” which features Julian Casablancas (lead singer of The Strokes). It’s a mellow song that features the computerized vocals we’re so familiar with from Daft Punk — save for the fact that the voice is undeniably Julian Casablancas.

My reaction after the first listen? “This is actually pretty weak” — save for that sick guitar solo. What do you think?

Update: Early reviews had slammed the album as a joke. But having given it a full listen through, I’m anything but disappointed. I guess when your expectations are at rock bottom, there’s only one way to go and that’s up. So, perhaps I should thank the naysayers for setting the bar low. This whole album is amazing.

Song: Ghost Wave - Here She Comes [download here]

Kiwi band Ghost Wave have already made a couple trips to the United States (including a few appearances at this year’s SXSW), but today will be the first day that we actually feature their music on Indie Shuffle. And what better way to do it than with a premiere of a fun surf rock track?

“Here She Comes” is their first single off an upcoming LP titled Ages, to be released sometime mid-summer via Arch Hill/Flying Nun Records. Over the course of its 3 minutes and 23 seconds, the Auckland-based quartet layer laid-back and nonchalant vocals over jangly guitars and an upbeat bassline. Supported by a boisterous drumbeat, Ghost Wave have successfully managed to win me over with this song.

Song: Daft Punk - Get Lucky (JackLNDN Remix) [download here]

I’ll forgive you if you confused this song for RAC’s remix of “Blue Jeans” by Lana Del Rey, but that’s exactly the reason I’m posting it.

To date, the countless reincarnations of Daft Punk’s infectious “Get Lucky” have for the most part sounded like the original. But with this version Jack London has — at least for the first minute or so — transformed the track into something unrecognizable.

Here’s hoping you’re not too sick of the original to listen to a great remix.

Song: Glass Animals - Mambo [download here]

The last time we picked up on Glass Animals was for their track “Cocoa Hooves,” released back in October of 2012. The song captivated my attention with it’s smooth and deep bassline, a signature sound present in this new single “Mambo.”

The song comes as part of a double A side release on Paul Epworth’s label Wolf Tone, alongside the second track “Exxus.” Not entirely sure when the release date is, but you can keep abreast on the band’s Tumblr.

Song: Crystal Fighters - You & I (Gigamesh Remix) [download here]

Gigamesh released his remix of Crystal Fighters’ “You & I” approximately two days ago, and I’ve had it on repeat since then. Sure it’s sort of long at nearly 6 minutes, but the upbeat tempo makes that quite easy to overlook.

The song comes as Crystal Fighters prepare to release their new album Cave Rave on May 27th. It’s looking to be a pretty legit release –to date we’ve featured three songs from their camp, including “You & I,” “Separator” and the infectious “Wave.”

If you want to pre-order the album, be sure to follow this link.

Song: Fatboy Slim - Praise You (Maribou State Remix) [download here]

I’m pretty sure that in the past I’ve suggested that Maribou State is one of my favorite remix artists out there (their original work is also pretty bomb). However, this rendition of Fatboy Slim’s “Praise You” leaves me a little uncertain…

The song begins with roughly 1 minute of ambling build-up, giving no hint of the underlying original. Which means that by the time Fatboy Slim’s recognizable vocals are introduced at 1:45, the listener finds themselves easing a sigh of relief.

From there, the song doesn’t really do too much more. There’s some fun warbling bass around 2:40, and the percussion is certainly nice. But overall, I walked away from this one slightly disappointed.

So, why the hell am I sharing it? Because for the unsuspecting listener, I think this one’s going to fit incredibly well in a playlist on downtempo / easy-listening music. While not served best as a standalone, Maribou State’s take on “Praise You” deserves a spot on Indie Shuffle.

Song: Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You (Giraffage Remix) [download here]

Way back in 1998, a musical collaboration known as Stardust came together for one song. Made up of Alan Braxe, Benjamin Diamond and Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter, they managed to get their song “Music Sounds Better With You” stuck in the consciousness of millions.

Flash forward 15 years, and the track is still recognizable — even when it undergoes a remix courtesy of up-and-comer Giraffage.

If you’re digging what you hear, SF-based Charlie Yin has gone ahead and made this one available for free download. Figured you might be into that :)

Song: Ellie Goulding - Only You (Special Features Remix) [download here]

Remixes of Ellie Goulding might be dime a dozen, but that doesn’t mean that some can’t stand out as slightly more interesting. Such is the case for Special Features’ take on “Only You,” the fourth track from Ellie’s recent album Halcyon.

What makes this one good? In my mind, simple synth progressions, catchy harmonies and a pretty good buildup. Beyond that, it’s actually pretty straightforward — in a bit of a Madeon way.
