    Rainbow Arabia - Without You
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 46,731 plays

    As heard during Kenny “Fucking” Powers pitching a winning game on the latest Eastbound & Down. Great slice of 80s-powered pop from the Kompakt stable.

    Listeners who liked Siouxsie and the Banshees also liked this

    Rewards - Equal Dreams (ft. Solange Knowles)
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 40 plays

    Beyonce Knowles Alt. little sister Solange Knowles has collaborated with Chairlift’s Aaron Pfenning on a forthcoming DFA release.

    I like DFA and I also like Solange Knowles. I like this. That bit where her vocal creeps in then explodes… Nicely done.

    What do you think? Will it become a crossover hit? Is it too low-key for mainstream success? Could she become as relevant as her sister? Are these too many superficial questions? Should I stop reading Hipster Runoff?
