You've probably seen this already. New video for Florence And The Machine's "Drumming Song." It's definitely "louder than sirens louder than bells sweeter than heaven and hotter than hell." If you don't own her debut LP yet, do your ears a favor and grab it over at insound

Noah and the Whale from Black Cab Sessions on Vimeo.

Charlie Fink of Noah And The Whale went back to the Black Cab Sessions to do another take. This time with band member Tom 'T-Bone' Hobden instead of friend and fellow music maker [and gorgeous] Laura Marling. They played "Blue Skies" from the upcoming album The First Days Of Spring

Saw this yesterday. Still really impressed by the chemistry

MP3: Free Energy - Dark Trance

So I just realized that the Jay-Z post [down below] was the 300th post on this site. Which is pretty rad. Thanks to all of you for reading so far. There is much more to come in the near and distant future for Digital Dreams. If you're not already, please follow us on Twitter at @Digidreams for post update links and my random one liners. Moving on....

I've posted about Free Energy probably about 3 times already with 2 other tracks. Check out their latest offering "Dark Trance" which is off of their upcoming debut LP Stuck On Nothin'. There is absolutely nothing "dark" or "trance" about Dark Trance - more like modern "rock" "anthem."

[NEW MUSIC] Free Energy - Dream City

Newly made Philadelphians, Free Energy, are ready to release their debut album this fall on DFA Records.

The first single "Dream City" will undoubtedly bring you to the 1970s when fuzzy guitar solos and mullets ruled the world. This song is to be listened to in a red convertible while rocking out your finest pair of white denim and a freshly shaven mustache. If you can't afford all of the above, I guess sunglasses and beer will do.

Moral of the story: put this on your summer mix.

"hey we're comin out / dancin down town / bleed like whatever we dream about / and we're moving through the night / cruisin cross town/ lost in the endless sound."

Free Energy - Dream City
