MNYNMS – “Oracle (TEEEL Remix)”

July 22, 2016

Houston-based synthpop act,  MNYNMS (pronouned ‘Many Names’), dropped an EP this morning titled Rite of Passage with an additional EP dedicated to remixes for the lead single, “Oracle.” buffaBLOG was lucky enough to get ears on one of the official remixes first. Producer extraordinaire, TEEEL, got a hold of the track “Oracle” and immediately picked the pace up. On the “Oracle” remix, TEEEL inserts his 80’s new-wave take on the  song, creating a dance-able daydream that is simply infectious. MNYNM’s dual EPs Rite of Passage and Oracle Remix are both available on iTunes. In the meantime you can stream MNYNMS’ “Oracle (TEEEL Remix)” below.

Exclusive: Local Onlys – “Cogito Theory”

April 10, 2014

The Cascos’ frontman/mastermind behind The SSC, Jacob Smolinski, leaked us the new single for his La Salle-influenced, Philadelphia-based project, Local Onlys. The trio released their debut EP late in 2013, but it seems as though the band’s knack for lo-fi indie rock bangers has carried well into 2014. “Cogito Theory,” the first song off the upcoming EP titled MT. WISTER, reminds us a lot of a dorm-based Vampire Weekend, which seems to be a huge influence on Smolinski’s writing style going back to the Cascos days. The new single is about  daydreaming in Philosophy class and snapping back into it completely overwhelmed and under-informed, which Smolinski’s howls and Julie Gutekunst’s “ooo’s and ah’s” backing make the subject matter much more tolerable. Check out “Cogito Theory” below.
