Not losing any of the glowing warmth and ear worm melodies that makes Metronomy’s sound so distinct, Love Letters is more developed, further evolved – writer and producer Joseph Mount excels in his lyrics and song writing delivering what sounds like a truly classic record.

PRAISE FOR LOLAWOLF:

“Lolawolf's single strikes the balance of Chromatics' bleary synth-driven brightness and Lana Del Rey's detached-yet-dramatized longing.” – Pitchfork

“… the synths on "Drive" remind us a little of Twin Peaks…everything is a little sexy, but also a little weird and unsettling. Plus, big props for the neat, noodly bassline during the verse. But the thing that really gives this track a hook is the singer's vocals: lusty and insouciant, there's a restless, give-fuck-tear to her tones.” – Noisey

“…songs too good to keep quiet. Born from delirious writing sprees and experimentation with electronic production … tracks strewn with eighties synth references and laced with New Wave tenor.” – Vogue.com<http://Vogue.com/>

Aer * February 7th and February 8th @ Irving Plaza
[cid:image009.jpg at 01CF21B9.46505590]Boston’s own hip-hop duo Aer who will be performing a two-night engagement Friday Feb 7 + Saturday Feb 8 at Irving Plaza. Fresh off a sold-out hometown show at Boston’s House of Blues, Aer is hitting the road for their Word of Mouth Tour with performances across the country including stops at SXSW and Firefly Festival. Their newly released self-titled sophomore album Aer debuted at #26 on Billboard’s Top 200 charts and #5 on iTunes Album Charts. PRESS HERE<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2kuPuepRBI&feature=c4-overview&list=UUOAsMPYwazjxWEd7Wh7Pzxg> to watch the video for single “Says She Loves Me.”At just 20 years old and a completely DIY operation, David and Carter are ones to watch. Earmilk.com<http://Earmilk.com/> says, “Aer has made a name for themselves with a refined combination of reggae, rock, and hip-hop,” while The Music Ninja raves, “From start to finish, Aer feels like the young duo’s most cohesive project to date, progressing their sound and narrative to a new level of maturity.”
