All the little pieces that we find,

go to building up this thing we call our consciousness.

Like a secret code you can’t unwind,

but when we move together, you enter my mind.

The band released not one but two new songs this week. “1CHRD” will be released on a double A-Side 7″ along with a remix of the track by Blackbird Blackbird. No information on “Snow Day” as of yet.

The Weeknd: House of Balloons

By now, you’ve heard the line on the Weeknd, the alias of mysterious Toronto neo-R&B crooner Abel Tesfaye, whose free mixtape, House of Balloons, has everyone from Pitchfork to VIBE gasping for breath. Much of the discussion has centered around where to place the Weeknd in the larger conversation about contemporary R&B. House of Balloons deals in the typical tropes of the genre (sex, drugs, and druggy sex), but lifts samples from the indie world (Beach House, Siouxsie and the Banshees).

When it decided to give House of Balloons away for free, the Weeknd couldn’t have possibly known how successful the mixtape would be—and how quickly it would reach maximum velocity. But maybe it should’ve known. If Tesfaye is actually as confident as his persona’s better moments on record, he would have predicted all of this, the hype, the controversy, the love. Remember, this is a debut compilation. The Weeknd was invisible a few months ago. Try to imagine what these artists are working on now that they’ve gotten our attention.

Jamie Woon

Jamie Woon (born March 29, 1983) is a British singer, songwriter and producer signed to Polydor who gained widespread acclaim in 2010 for his single Night Air, following his previous independent release, Wayfaring Stranger EP.

The son of a Malaysian Chinese father and a Scottish Celtic folk singer and backing artist Mae McKenna, he was born and raised in New Malden in the Greater London. He was educated at Sacred Heart RC Primary School (New Malden), S.T Catherines RC Middle School (Raynes Park) & Wimbledon College. He later attended the BRIT School, where he graduated the year behind Amy Winehouse, whom he later supported live.

Woon’s sound and style is presently described as soul inflected vocals backed by samplers and programming, or a single guitar track. He describes his music as “… R&B, it’s groove-based vocal-led music …”.

On 4 January 2011, the BBC announced that Woon had been placed fourth in the BBC’s Sound of 2011 poll.

Woon's debut album is entitled Mirrorwriting and was released on 18 April 2011 via Polydor Records.
