Julian Casablancas’ muddy vocals are back, casually drifting through the beautifully constructed mess of fuzz and bouncy melodies. The Strokes at their best. “All the Time” is the first track from their upcoming LP Comedown Machine. Let us know what you think.
Hope everyone had a great week, we’ve really been doing our best trying to keep everyone updated on the important music news over the week. For this week’s “Week that Was” we lead off with Lorde, who in her Facebook About Me describes herself as our “favorite little head game.” Perfect. Her music draws you in and keeps you smiling and bobbing your head until the end. Later on we have 2 bands from Chicago, Young Man and Houses, and fellow midwest-ers The ACBs, from Kansas City, Missouri. Enjoy and let us know what stands out! Keep sending music to acityinthemidwest@gmail.com.

First Danny Brown now Soulja Boy. Yes. This did actually happen. And while it may be pretty weird… the song sounds pretty…. good? We’re going with that for now. Take a listen below and let us know what you think.
Mixtape Cole is back with Truly Yours. We’ll let the man himself summarize this one…
It’s time. I appreciate you giving me the time I needed to grow, experiment, and find the direction for my 2nd album.. And I have. Along the way I’ve recorded at least 4 albums worth of material, lots of it being unfinished demo versions waiting to be polished up, some of them are great songs and important stories that just won’t make the album (either they don’t fit Sonically, don’t fit Theme, or there’s just not enough space).
Tonight, I want to give you a few of these songs because you deserve them. It’s hard as fuck for me to keep all this music from you for so long, so I know it’s been hard for you to wait. Thank you for your patience. Vibe out to these songs in their raw form, no polish.. just a lot of my soul..
The wait is over.
Truly Yours,
Born SinnerPS- 1st single coming this week. The album is hands down my best work yet. Can’t wait to share.
The Postal Service is back and I couldn’t be happier. The band released its one and only album in 2003, featuring classics “The District Sleeps Alone Tonight” and “Such a Great Heights” and leaving fans waiting for new music for an entire decade. The waiting has paid off, because the electro-pop band released a new song entitled “A Tattered Line of String” this morning. The song is a segway into an epic band making an ultimate comeback that has already left me asking Justin who??
