Less than one month ago I introduced you hau5 lovin boys n’ girls to the 20 year old Estonian prodigy that is, Mord Fustang. Well, he’s crankin out tunes faster than Santa in December; the boy wonder is at it AGAIN! Those same elegant and distinct synths we’ve learned to love, now with more punch! I give you ‘Milky Way’.

I’m happy to say that finals week is in the past (for most), and we all came out alive. And now that I have way less to worry about, this break is going to be filled with the brainstorming and reconfiguring of the future of C+A+D. We’ve been getting way more action than usual lately, and it makes us so happy to know that you guys are helping us spread the word. We want to share our music with everyone! SO many new things are in store for us, as far as album releases and upcoming events. Notably: Justice, sebastiAn, Jack Beats, THE STROKES, and others. 2011 is shaping up to be the best year of music for our generation. Happy Spring to all our delightful friends! We love you.

I recently caught wind of a little English comedy called “Submarine” about a kid desperately trying to lose his virginity. It wasn’t the plot or anything cinematic for that matter that caught my attention, but rather that Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys had a prominent role in the soundtrack.

Turner’s development as a musician has been very interesting to me for some reason. When he first hit the scene, he was scruffy kid from Sheffield who sang infectious songs about getting kicked out of clubs and moody girlfriends; amongst pummeling drums and heavy guitar riffs, the sound and affect they delivered was chockfull of youthful observation, but seldom more.

Favourite Worst Nightmare offered a degree of maturity with its slower, moodier songs like “Do Me A Favour” and “Only Ones Who Know” that put on display Turner’s ability to write not only pop jams but captivatingly depressing ballads as well. These proved to be the strength of the album, a strong suit for Turner. There was something desolately beautiful that made us think, “hey, maybe there’s more to these guys.”

Turner eventually teamed up briefly with Miles Kane of The Rascals for a Beatles-esque side-project called The Last Shadow Puppets. While they definitely put out a good track or two, most songs blurred together and sounded for the most part like it belonged in the end credits of a Bond film.

When Arctics released Humbug in 2009, fans were disappointed for the most part. Definitely an acquired taste, the album channeled something much more foreboding, yearning to be darkly philosophical. For the most part, it missed its mark because it wasn’t overtly relatable. In its defense (I actually rather enjoyed the album), it did prove that Arctics were growing up; a band can only sing about being young for so long.

Back to Submarine. This EP is proof of the songwriting talent Turner possess. It’s beautiful in all aspects; melodically understated yet solid and lyrically flawless. Turner can write. And he’s good.

Arctics are scheduled to drop their fourth album Suck It and See this summer. It will be interesting to see how the band redeems itself after a largely ill-received third album. Yet I have faith.

Another morning made by a release from one of my all-time favs: sebastiAn. SebastiAn is finally releasing his album titled “Total” in May, and I couldn’t be more excited! He (along with the rest of the Ed Banger crew) have been at the top of my list since I knew what electronic was. I love when DJs put together albums because you really don’t see that often at all. SebastiAn has always had a thing with the way his bass hits that I’ve never seen recreated. His sounds and melodies cut right through you. More on the dark side, but yet still puts me in a good mood. I’m really happy with “Embody,” though. It’s the sebastiAn we want to hear, just new. Oh and that picture is him kissing himself, which is probably going to be his album art. Is that gay? Enjoy.

I know I just posted on these guys a few days ago, but they felt my appraisal and threw another remix together a couple days later. I was gonna put this and the delightful treat in the YOLO list coming up, but there’s so much this week that I didn’t want to overwhelm you. So Kids at the Bar decided to add one more banger to their résumé this week. This time they put a ravey spin on Glasnost‘s originally disco-funky track, “Corridor.” Adding a plethora of heavy bass and synth that’s a treat in itself. My only qualm is that it doesn’t drop with a slamming snare the second time around..kinda plateaus when it has much more potential. You’ll see.

I heard this song for the first time at Hard Haunted 2010 and it came back into my life in their Warehouse Project video. I was happy to find that it’s been released, but not in its entirety…don’t know when or if we’ll get the whole thing, but this is sick as fuck. The glitchy wobble leaves me speechless every time.

It’s a story sappier than a Turkish soap opera but realer than Jersey Shore: messy breakup leads to heartbreak, leads to drinking binge, leads to epiphany. In the case of Capulets frontman Stuart McLamb, such an epiphany lead to the formation of a kickass band. The agonizing honesty of McLamb’s lyrics is probably how The Love Language managed to avoid the sophomore slump with “Libraries”, the followup of their 2009 debut “The Love Language.” Despite the heartbreak of McLamb’s lyrics, The Love Language offers a of 1960s-eque sort of energy you can’t help but wiggle to.
Ch-ch-check it out.

As C+A+D has been moving up to the big leagues, I’ve realized she needs a monthly mix. Nowadays, mixtapes floating around on the intern3ts are about as mundane as books in a library. However, not all of them get it right. It’s time I got on the tables.

Here’s 30 minutes of pure, unadulterated goodness.
