DOWNLOAD: Will Stratton - Who Will

When you’re having a textbook fall like we are in NYC — perfectly cool and crisp air, leaves a-turning, everyone looking sharp in their favorite sweater — it’s hard not to hear this mellow stunner of a dream-pop song by Will Stratton and retrofit it to the season. The young singer layers tasteful reverb over pillows of strumming and harmony, recalling Mojave 3 at their best; it could equally soundtrack the beginning or the end of a romance, and that’s just what autumn feels like. “Who Will” leads off Stratton’s No Wonder, which drops next month; you can catch him October 20 at Cake Shop for a CMJ day party, or just grab this bittersweet tune and see how it suits your season.
VIDEO: Chairlift - Planet Health
Chairlift are one of our favorite bands at the moment, we saw them on Saturday at the After the Jump Fest for the fourth or fifth time and lost our minds. There's something about the dreamy quality of Caroline's voice that really takes us to another place, without sounding all new-agey and crap. They also remind us heavily of the Cocteau Twins, which in case you hadn't noticed is like crack to us right now. The band just filmed a new clip for their single "Planet Health", and just try not to get all happy when Caroline sings "I'm feeling great tonight" over and over. This album is going to be EPIC.

It is then you realize how much you've missed the Brighton cats Fujiya + Miyagi. Word is they are taking over the world, one festival at a time (11 festivals this year, folks) and putting out a third album in the fall. Til then, we thought we'd sent this happy reminder over the web-waves and boogie with ya.

The two Nomadic souls that make up Mr. Gnome, Nicole Barille and Sam Meister, have been transversing the American hinterland and living in a van since late 2007. In between stops, they've crafted the airy, darker-hued songs of Deliver This Creature. On the album, shrill industrial rock soundscapes are cloaked by the airy coos of Ms. Barille, who sounds like Mazzy Star meets Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Karen O. Like Portishead, their songs prefer to linger, creep and itch towards the edge of total destruction - crescendoing - without losing focus. Forget their name- focus on their depth of sound.
