Japan Gets Some Extra Love From The Knocks

I can't claim to understand why some artists choose to release bonus specific bonus tracks by country. Maybe having an extra track could boost regional sales or give an heir of exclusivity to a track, but as a whole, I just don't get it. Take for instance The Knocks irresistible dance track Endisco. In the literal sense, it's as close to modern disco as you're going to find. The heavy, vibrant funk influence will no doubt have you dusting off old Daft Punk albums. There's a slight ebb and flow to the beat with soft, high pitched vocals mixed throughout. In my eyes, it's all filler noise that gives ample contrast to the steady mainline dance-worthiness. If you're outside of Japan, keep railing that Soundcloud link in hopes The Knocks provide you with a future outlet to cop the track...#Endisco

"I Wish I Could Find My Taylor Swift"

Any track with the name Taylor Swift in it has to be pop, right? Well yea, actually it does. Two favorites of mine, The Knocks and Matthew Koma, proved that theory true this week when they released their new single I Wish (My Taylor Swift). You already know what to expect from Matthew Koma as a vocalist, but The Knocks showed out with their laid back house beat that would have made for a perfect summer anthem. In the Bay Area, it still feels like summer, so this one hit the spot. After one listen I was already singing along, which means this will be dangerous on radio. I'll be very surprised if this hasn't found it's way onto the majority of LA DJs playlists by the time I make my way down to Orange County in November. Feel free and cop it or join me in eagerly looking forward to The Knocks debut album 55...#MyTaylorSwift
