Sombear — “Love You In The Dark”
[DOWNLOAD]
Sombear and Trans- Records have announced the July 23rd release of Love You In The Dark, the debut album from the Minneapolis based producer and songwriter. The world recently had an early preview of Sombear’s talents through a Record Store Day split 7” with Death Cab For Cutie guitarist/producer and Trans- Records founder Chris Walla.
Sombear, aka Brad Hale, isn’t a namesake many are familiar with, but chances are you may have come across his artistic work. Be it through album art designed for fellow Midwestern musician Bon Iver, or his remixing of tracks for well known artists including Tegan & Sara. Not to mention his roll as 1/3rd of the trio Now, Now, a band who in the last year on the strength of their breakout sophomore album toured the country with fun.

Say Lou Lou - “Julian (The Chainsmokers Remix)”
NY electronic duo The Chainsmokers (Drew Taggart and Alex Pall) have taken on Say Lou Lou’s single “Julian” on their next number of remix streak. These Guys have been on a row these last couple of months. The have remix Phoenix, Little Daylight, Daughter and Two Door Cinema Club to name a few or at least the most recent. All of which have been amazing and the latest “Julian” remix is no exception. Although the Chainsmokers remixes mostly indie anthems, the duo does not shy away from the typical pop/electro dance apparatus. They somehow make it work in any atmosphere. Stream their remix of Say Lou Lou’s “Julian” above and like to download the track on their facebook page.
