Been digging alot of the girl/guy duo thing lately? Happy Sunday.

Phantogram
Recently, I find myself saying ‘dirty bass’ to people around here a lot.  I want to put it on everything. I keep walking into venues to find this doll of a girl hiding behind a mess of flat shaggy art bangs and a fella standing on top of a fog machine cloud…. popping out gritty hip hop beats on keyboards; looping & slapping guitars. I likey!

Glass Candy
This cover of Kraftwerk’s Computer Love has inspired me to keep my ears to the ground for new new – after I get done swimming through electro-pop that stretches back to 96.

The XX
I’ve applied my best internet searching skills to get my ears on every golden thing that JamieX has ever touched. So, it was interesting to find this video – acoustic – sans beat machine – and learn that it these two still do it for me.

PS – you gotta watch the XX on KCRW’s MBE show live from SXSW cause at the top of the interview – the Audio Muffin got a shout out from Jason Bentley – haha unbeknownst to him.

Crystal Castles
B brought the latest album from these guys to our attention. Here’s the recently released video.

Beachhouse
This is just beautiful.

BONUS: the video for that awesome Kid Cudi, Rostam and Bethany (Best Coast) is released….
