Wave Machines : The Line

I was lucky to get my ears on Wave Machines’ upcoming debut album ‘Wave If You’re Really There.’ I was already excited on the strength of “I Go I Go I Go” and “Keep The Lights On.” Upon first listen, I’m  blown away. I haven’t heard such a solid and diverse debut record since ‘Santogold.’ The group mixes in upbeat electro-pop, traditional tender British ballads, and… well, maybe its not as diverse as  Santi’s record but it sounds bloody great. Great songwriting and production throughout – is that generic? Ugh. Just go listen to “The Line,” “The Greatest Escape We Ever Made,” the fore mentioned songs, and join the bandwagon. I’m sitting shotgun. You got bitch! haha.

Humberto and Carol of Opening Ceremony keep us on our toes. This is one of the leading teams in innovation and evolution of our industry. Using their east/west coast shops as platforms for showcasing new concepts and projects each season, these two continue to inspire the boundaries. As the weekly contributors of For The Moment, the OC (ooo that abreviation does not have the best connotation, but you get it) duo are delivering their latest news.

Humberto and Carol feel strongly that sports and music go hand-in-hand, so they decided to ask some of their favorite musicians to give them an inspirational lyric that gets them pumped-up and ready for any competition. These lyrics will be screened onto a limited number of T-shirts and available, starting on the 8th (upon the commencement of the Olympics), at their stores. The proceeds from this project will go towards a China earthquake relief fund. See full article with artist interviews.
