Shout out to my man, @ravingsofasaneman for sending me this really nice track. 'Werewolf' by Cocorosie has excellent vocals that I find quite reminiscent of a lot of female vocalists that I listen to a lot (almost like a mix of Karin Dreijer Andersson of The Knife and Lykke Li). I also really enjoy the simple but well placed piano melody that lasts throughout. Definitely a song that I'd like to try sampling.
Hope you enjoy!

This summer, rap has definitely been my go-to genre. It's been blasting out my speakers essentially as often as possible and needless to say I'm rapping along with it most of the time. A$AP Rocky was one the rappers that I really started vibing with this summer and Houston Old Head is one of the better tracks he's released in my opinion. The mellow and smooth instrumental track simply kills it. I'm a real sucker for clarinets. If nothing else, his songs are goddamn catchy and enjoyable. Hope you enjoy!

As you all know, I'm a sucker for folk (or most things acoustic really), but this song really is legitimately excellent. This is Old Pine by Ben Howard.

Love him or hate him Kanye West will go down as one of the best rappers in history. 'Everything I Am' chronicles the hate Kanye received early in his career for not being a 'gangster' and essentially going against the grain of main stream rap. It's one of Kanye's finest and most heartfelt tracks.
Enjoy
This song has a way of making me feel so happy yet sorrowful all at once. The beautiful melody and background humming allows for the song to have a minimal amount lyrics and yet still be so affective. What ultimately gets me about this song is the story/message that the video illustrates
The Glory of the Mash-Up: My Current Addiction to The Hood Internet
One of my personal favourite forms of music is the mash-up. Ever since I heard the impeccable Dirt off Your Shoulder/Bittersweet Symphony mash-up, I've had a particular fondness for the genre, especially those combining my favourite indie/alternative/electronica tracks with... any hip hop or rap, really (usually the former backing the latter). I'm not too picky.
Introduce my current addiction to the mash-up specialists The Hood Internet, made up of the Chicagonian (Chicagite?) duo of Aaron Brink and Steve Reidell. The two excel in this exact form of the mash-up. Essentially, this is the only way I could ever listen to Soulja Boy repeatedly. Below are some of my favourite tracks by The Hood Internet.
The Hood Internet - Polish City (Tyga x Neon Indian) by hoodinternet
The Hood Internet - One Midnight With You (Mayer Hawthorne x M83) by hoodinternet The Hood Internet - Knock Power (LL Cool J x Justice) by hoodinternet
This might be my personal favourite. IT'S JUST SO RIGHTEOUS.
The Hood Internet - The Pains Of Going Hammer (Soulja Boy x The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart) by hoodinternet The Hood Internet - Kaputting It Up (Raekwon x Destroyer) by hoodinternet The Hood Internet - Go Hahahaha (Das Racist x Cults) by hoodinternet The Hood Internet - Only Single (Weezy x James Blake) by hoodinternet

Here I am, hitting you with another track. By no means, is 'Wicked Games' by The Weeknd hot off the presses, but I defy you to not like this one. The soulful and melancholic vocals KILL IT the entire time. The instrumentals bring as well though, without a doubt. I love the ascending, open ended guitar riffs that constantly introduce most of the lines of the vocal track.
I hope you enjoy!
-Greg
Wicked Games - The Weeknd
ps more songs to come! Stay tuned.
"All Inside" by Bondax is a relaxed and nuanced track that delivers in all the right ways. A dreamy opening soundscape paves the way for the gentle vocal track and very accented percussion. The drums take on a wonderful wet quality that's wonderful for its crisp sound and simplicity. Also, the part at 2:05 or so is a great drop in terms of vocal cuts. This is a real treat and I hope you all enjoy!

Hey Euclid, y u no post new music?
Hey all, muchos apologies for the lack of posts. I guess we've all been busy or lazy (the latter).
Look forward to some new posts soon!
Check this amazing video! I was sent this recently and damn did it blow my mind. Mister lies makes beautiful use of layered harmonious sounds and atmospheres. The synths use familiar sounds, but the timbre has been altered such that they're still foreign. It creates a really strange and pleasing effect. Overall the song is fantastic and I highly recommend.
Hope you enjoy!
-Greg
ps thank you to my brother for the suggestion and to @nakon11 for the request/reminder. It's such a cool video!

pps we've had another unscheduled hiatus but expect more songs to come! Working to try and increase song post rates.
All right! Enough of this nonsense! Euclid Collective has gone on an unofficial hiatus (what with exams and triumphant returns to summer) but that dark time is over! Coming at you with a new song, I present Mother Protect's 'Niki & the Dove (Goldroom Remix).' This disco inspired track bangs hard and doesn't stop. It made me want to dance, and certainly made me want to sing with that insane vocal track. The strong piano chords are excellent accompaniment. I think it's a great track to do some summer driving to. I loved it and so should you.
Hope you enjoy!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Elliott Smith is fantastic. I'm on a definite Elliott Smith relapse, and the album in particular that I'm playing again is New Moon. 'Half Right' from that album is stellar and you must listen to it now. When it played the other day I almost mistook this one for Death Cab but I recognized it quickly. Anyway, I won't mess around and waste your time, just check this one out. (It's better than studying...)
Hope you enjoy!

Goddammit do I love Japandroids. This is the first (or second? I can't remember) single off of their upcoming album Celebration Rock. The House That Heaven Built is classic Japandroids
- Andrew
Lovely little ditty by This is the Kit, titled Moon. I actually heard about them via The National's Facebook feed, so whaddya know. Thanks Berninger & Co.!

I have been simply loving this track that I've most recently latched on to. Whitest Boy Alive's 'Golden Cage' is an amazing track that delivers flowing bass, as well as some unforced and elegant melody riffs. I first heard Golden Cage remixed by Fred Falke, which also stole my heart away, but it wasn't until just recently that I sat down and listened to the original. In both tracks, it's mostly the simple and gentle vocals that win me over. A winner for sure. I hope you check it out.
Hope you enjoy!

p.s. Dreams, the studio album featuring Golden Cage is one of my favourite albums of recent memory. I highly recommend.
Holy Shintos! A track to remember, 'And I Say' by Nicolas Jaar (yes, he dominates a great deal of my posts) is a freakin' bomb shell. Jaar rocks it with his classic, simple jazz pieces, featuring vocals by Scout LaRue as well as tastefully placed sax and hand drum parts. I absolutely melt over Jaar tracks, which are never rushed, always carefully crafted, and honestly, just plain seductive. This song is no exception. Check it out!
Enjoy!
-Greg
ps I'm off to see Nicolas Jaar this Friday at Revival! Will my life ever be the same?
I Doubt it.
Excellent electronica song by 13 & God, a collaboration between The Notwist (whose Neon Golden remains one of my favourite albums) and California-based Themselves. Perfect Speed features gorgeous vocals, and stellar percussion sections.
