“Orifice Origami” - Reptar

Our favorite Georgian rugrats are back at it with their newest single, straight off of their soon-to-be-released album Body Faucet. Where do they come up with these names? Unclear, but we love. Random name and all, this tuney tune has the same summery feel-good “je ne sais quoi” as some of their other productions.

Ahoy there, Chuckie! Reptar in da house. 

“Default” - Django Django

Need a Thursday pick-me-up? Look no further. British psychedelic band Django Django will help turn that workday frown upside down. Even their name makes us giggle a bit. 

“Always On the Run” - Yuksek

My roommate actually introduced me to the fabulous world of Yuksek…and now I’m not so sure I can live without it. Yet another French electro-pop DJ getting his disco on…and I want more. Does this song make anyone else want to put on an animal costume and dance in fog and neon lights?

No? … Alright. Happy Thursday.

“Disparate Youth” - Santigold

Wow. There’s something about Santigold when it’s raining outside. We just can’t help it. 

“I Belong In Your Arms” - Chairlift

Do the first few percussion beats remind anyone else of Michael Sembello’s “Maniac”? Transport yourself back to the ’80s with this gem of a jam off of Chairlift’s new album (released yesterday!). 

Perfect for: flashdances, shoulder pads, parachute pants, and stirrup leggings

“Newlands” -Justice (Blister Boyz Remix)

Kick, punch, kick, punch.  Remix your Thursday grind. These guys are the coolest. If you haven’t already, check out their album: †.

“Never There” -Cake

Stuck in a boring conversation with a colleague? Looking for a way out? Press play, turn this up.

Problem solved.

“Giraffe” -Miniature Tigers

Perfect for: Cheerful mornings, bagels and cream cheese, dusting your creepy animal figurine collection

“Comme des Enfants” -Coeur De Pirate (Le Matos Andy Carmichael Remix)

Newly OBSESSED with Coeur de Pirate and all things Canadian? French. This song has been on the block for a while, but this remix just listens so good. Yep, this Quebec-born GingerBeat with a sleeve and cig… I’m pretty convinced is my sista from a different mista. If you’re curious to check out more of her stuff, she does an awesome cover of “Wicked Games” by The Weeknd.
