Lil Kids – “Nobodies”

Because f*** it, that's why

Alright so I don’t have any interesting info about this artist, other than I came by the song on Dingus and hot damn if this isn’t some great hip hop. As far as I know, Lil Kids is just a white rapper named Adam and his producer, Lopato, kickin’ some beats and rhymes in Brooklyn.

Oh, but don’t read too much into that whole white rapper thing. As Dingus correctly points there, there are a few Beck similarities here, along with that classic NYC production sound. They released a dope album, Slow Rainbows, in February on Bandcamp which you can download for FREE - with a new album rumored for May 30th.

That’s about all I have on this one. The album is sick. “Nobodies” is sick. That’s all I got. Follow them on Twitter and we’ll figure this out together as things move along.

The Knocks – “Learn To Fly”

Kings of New York

As per our tradition of posting every song The Knocks release, there was no debate about throwin’ up “Learn To Fly” – a favorite at live shows that’s never gotten a proper release. Apparently cut from their Magic EP, “Learn To Fly” holds its own against the rest of their stellar collection.

In a lot of ways, The Knocks defined New York City for me, and this is just another jam from them making me homesick. To illustrate what kind of energy these guys bring, they played a rooftop show in Manhattan with security forcing them to keep the volume down and they STILL killed it. They’ll be playing a few festivals this summer so be sure to keep an eye out.

Emanny – “Wrong Impression (Feat. Emilio Rojas)”

Have a seat, ladies

Not since Frank Ocean have we featured an R&B artist on the hallowed pages of Electric Panda Music, but The Bronx’s own Emanny demands an exception. With the provocative new school atmosphere of The Weeknd mixed with traditional R&B stylings of an R.Kelly, Emanny brings the sound that makes panties drop like BLAOW.

I’m not even kidding you. In a completely scientific poll, 10 out of 10 ladies said listening to the latest Emanny record worked them up into an uncontrollable sexual furor. Stay tuned to his Facebook page for when his mixtape Songs About HER drops, because you know somebody is going to be getting down. It might as well be you.

Ramona Falls – “Proof”

"This door needs a bird on it..."

With The Shins officially declaring to the world that they’ve lost their touch, it’s time for a new indie darling to emerge from Portland.  Enter Ramona Falls, an experimental indie rock band started by Brent Knopf, a former Menomena band member. They’re not experimental in the Ariel Pink sense, preferring to take the Yeasayer road of genre-melting.

They’ve got an album coming out tomorrow, and will be playing Cafe Du Nord on May 11th. In the meantime, you can catch some of their other moody jams on Facebook.

Crystal Bright & The Silver Hands – “Especially Your Mother”

Accordions are sexy again! Actually, for the first time ever.

Delighted to have come across this little gypsy-inspired number from the unsigned Crystal Bright & The Silver Hands. Bright is no joke with the accordion, hammering out wonderfully quirky tunes that have to have even more significance for those still mourning the loss of the Dresden Dolls. “Especially Your Mother” doesn’t make a whole lot of sense (or maybe I’m just a dolt or misunderstanding of sarcasm or both), but damn if it isn’t nice to listen to.

It could be esoteric for some, but fuck those people. The world music foundation and Crystal Bright’s enchanting voice make this a must-post. Pick up their second album, Muses and Bones, on Bandcamp.
