If you have a problem with this song, then you need to re-adjust your hearing ASAP…or you just need to re-evaluate your taste in music – whichever is easiest for you. Los Angeles’ up and coming singer and songwriter, FRANKIE, just unleashed a sensational new original, “Problems Problems”, and it might honestly be the best thing you hear all day.

The Indie Pop enthusiast warms our hearts and cleanses our soul with her airy vocals, catchy choruses, and powerful songwriting, to which we can’t help but reminisce our life’s obstacles. With its beautiful arrangement and incredible sound design, FRANKIE makes us realize that we all have our shitty problems and sometimes they’re so painful that we can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. Well ninjas, we might not be able to help you fix your issues, but we think FRANKIE can help alleviate your tension with a little ballad of reassurance. If you want a free copy for yourself, go over and give this track some love on Hype Machine, screenshot that, and send her an email with it to:  frankiedownload@gmail.com.

[Indie] Max and the Moon – Modern Love

Jesus, Los Angeles just seems to have all the best up and coming Indie artists. We’ve found our hearts soaring with Golden Coast, FRANKIE, Monarch, and now Max and the Moon and their upbeat, fun new track “Modern Love”. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, some of you might be searching for some tunes to swoon your lovers – don’t stress because with Max and the Moon playing in the background, your boo things won’t be able to contain themselves. If you’re like me and have your cat for the 4th year in a row, then “Modern Love” will just be the background music to your Ben & Jerry’s binge session. Either way, this song is perfect.

“Modern Love is a song we wrote to explain how we’ve seen intimacy between people change over time. We didn’t necessarily want to say we think love in today’s culture is any worse or better than how it has existed throughout history, but we wanted to write about a love story that was more timeless…without placing judgement on our society, we wanted to sing about two people that have found a way to make love and this modern reality coexist.“” – Max and the Moon

Max and the Moon say it all in their little blurb to their fans. As technology continues to advance and society continues to stray further and further away from direct contact with people, we can’t help but assume that today’s world is heavily influenced by social media. “Modern Love” is simple in that it genuinely portrays a love that is incredibly hard to find in today’s day in age. So take your lovers back in time and show them that they’re worth much more than a Woman Crush Wednesday or Man Crush Monday mention on Instagram.

Tribe Society – Stoner (Young Thug Reimagined) [TMN PREMIERE]

When it comes to covers, we always hesitate before pressing play because we know we are either about to encounter something truly stunning or something truly shitty. There really is no in between. Well ninjas, considering we are premiering a cover song today, we might just have a true gem on our hands thanks to New York City’s, Tribe Society, and their reimagined version of Young Thug’s iconic track, “Stoner”.

“With the world wrapped up in trap fetish, we wanted to redress our favorite stoner anthem in a rock outfit.” – Tribe Society

Tribe Society decided to flip Young Thug’s trap anthem into a much more soulful, smooth, and indie/rock rendition that takes us directly into the core of their sound design. Filled with sensual piano riffs, pulsating 808s, beautifully arranged vocals, and ambient percussive elements, Tribe Society give us a refreshing new take on this provocative track that makes us feel as if we are listening to Chet Faker in a coffee shop on an early Thursday morning. Aside from the fact that the song is focused on marijuana and acquiring money, we can’t help but keep this one on repeat because the production and arrangement are just shy of genius. We are ecstatic about premiering this contagious cover, and we know all of you will swoon into a faded state of pure haziness the moment you press play.

It’s Friday and we’re ready to throw in the towel over here at TMN. As we patiently await for our Friday Party Playlist Vol. 135 make its appearance later today, we have the perfect track to get you from 0-100 real quick (we know, that’s SO 2014). With already almost 67,000 plays in just 2 days, Los Angeles producer, Drezo, decided to drop a dirty House anthem with his latest remix of Lil Wayne’s ever so charming, “a Milli”. Not only is this a blast from the past, but it’s one of those songs that everyone and their mom knows – so you know mama will be down for what we have for you today.

Drezo transforms this Lil Wayne track into a dark, grimy, and sweaty House hit that will undoubtedly get you ready for the weekend in a matter of seconds. With its simple, yet percussive progression, and a filthy, wobbly bassline, Drezo fills us up with a milli-on reasons to ditch work and get our groove on. So grab your freebie and get your booty grinding, ninjas.

[Absurd] um.. – dotes

um..

Do you ever ask yourself why genres exist? Often times we use genres as a way of filtering our tastes and narrowing them down in a much more organized and refined way. After randomly stumbling upon um.. and their confusing new track “dotes”, we can’t help but LOL at that statement. Not only did they combine dog samples with female sex samples, but they did so in a way that makes us wish we were doing weird things underneath the Sahara tent at Coachella. We find it rather hard to translate this absurd mix down into a coherent and sound sentence because all it does is force you into a state of delirium which then causes you to experience an intense amount of cognitive dissonance. Your mind will tell you that it wants to leave this planet and get your trap arms on to these puzzling beats, but your body will just stand there and you’ll just look very confused to those around you. This is the ultimate festival song and we really hope we get to experience this one going off this year so quickly grab your free download before you question your life’s purpose.
