Record Tripping is an audio-based interactive puzzle game that is both quirky and entertaining. You can use a scroll mouse to manipulate vintage audio pieces and down-tempo beats while simultaneously attempting to complete an assortment of beautifully animated, whimsical puzzles. So much fun!

I’m sort of bored with new music at the moment, and today I stumbled upon this song from Mavi Isiklar. Incense and Turkish Delight! So good!
Now that The Knife are off making weird operas, Fan Death are filling the void of dark, sexy disco pop. Here’s a cool track from their new EP A Coin For the Well…

Two great things that go great together! Add more corny cliches in the comments…

I posted a track from Serena Maneesh’s new album not too long ago, but this one has got me psyched. It’s more poppy, immediate and no less sexy. Look at that picture above, hot damn! Something tells me that if they make a video for this, it’s going to be rad…
The Broken Bells collaboration between James Mercer of The Shins and Danger Mouse may be the best thing that Mercer has done since the first Shins album. Check out the video for the first single “The High Road” above. It features the guys encountering trippy shit as they walk along a long road in the middle of the night. Did Large Marge send ‘em?
The full album drops in March. Get more info from the Broken Bells site.
Is it shaping up to be the year Yeasayer? Me thinks so, especially after playing the new album Odd Blood. on repeat for the past few weeks. Goddamn it’s good (in a Hot Chip x Animal Collective x Paul Simon x Prince kind of way — phew!)
The newest single, O.N.E won’t officially be available until March 23, but you can download the calypso-psyched out gem now for free via the band’s widget below (just enter your email address). Weeeeeeeeee.
Check out a charming rendition of the Genesis classic “That’s All” from Clare and the Reasons. You can catch another in-store performance clip over at Art in the Age.
