Jamaica || Listen
Parisian duo Jamaica is making their way back to North America to strut their no-synth policy, timed with the release of their debut LP, No Problem. The physical album will be released April 12 via newly launched Cooperative USA/Downtown Music but for the impatient, a digital version will become available on March 8, complete with bonus acoustic tracks and remixes.
The band has been singled out in Alternative Press magazines’ annual “100 Bands You Need To Know” issue, who noted: “On No Problem, the duo of guitarist/vocalist Antoine Hilaire and bassist/vocalist Florent Lyonnet deliver classic rock that has one foot planted in the bell-bottomed ’70s and the other bridging ’80 and ’90s alt-pop.”

The Chain Gang of 1974 || Listen||Watch
Kamtin Mohager, who records as the Chain Gang of 1974, made a big splash at this year’s SXSW as one of SPIN’s must-hear acts. Now he’s set to release a new album, Wayward Fire, on June 21 — his first proper studio album for a label.

On “Undercover,” and throughout Wayward Fire, Mohager — who grew up in Hawaii, and first chased his musical dreams in Denver — stirs in a bit of everything that makes post-millennial dance music great, from ’80s synth swells to gritty post-punk guitars to yearning, lovelorn vocals. Elsewhere, he’s mastering the LCD Soundsystem-style slow burn (“Hold On”) and New Wave-y pop (“Matter of Time”).

Mohager takes his live show around the West Coast in late April. Spin
