  • New Grouplove Remix and Tour Dates!

    “Grouplove are an L.A. mutilationwave band that SPIN loves so much that we gave them poison oak. Their “Tongue Tied,” off their recent album Never Trust a Happy Song was just given the remix treatment from omnipresent Swedish electro-poppers Little Dragon. The jubilant, rollicking track is given a harsh vibe thanks to LD’s neck-snapping snares and “Stay Fly”-style crossfader stut-tut-tuttering. They’re going on tour soon, so you can start requesting this one now.”

    Check out their article and Little Dragon remix on SPIN
