Austin City Limits Festival 2014 hit Zilker Park in Austin, TX for the second weekend in a row this past weekend. I was able to hit the festival Friday with camera in hand. Check out some of my photos of CHVRCHES, Childish Gambino, St. Vincent, and Outkast below.

 


[Songs Of The Day] 1/28/14 (Feat. CHVRCHES, Rittz, Inventions, Aaliyah and more)

As the majority of the country turned to an icicle, the hits kept coming and we got the latest song releases compiled in one spot here for today's songs of the day.

Leading things off today is Detroit native and Chicago resident Eryn Allen Kane, who continued to show off the sinewy vocals displayed in her last single "Hollow" as she jumps on a track with UK dance artist Moody Good for the thumping track, "Music Box". Inventions teamed up with an eclectic group of musicians in Explosions in the Sky and Eluvium Members to create a sonically gratifying song in "Entity" while one of our RH First Look artists from 2013, Jay Dot Rain, discusses the intricacies of soul food on his latest offering, "Grits N' Gravy". Rittz, Jackie Chain, Scotty ATL, and RaRa got the south on today with a rousing remix of  "Pimpin Man" and CHVRCHES did some tinkering of their own, covering "Bela Lugosi’s Dead" by Bauhaus. Aside from that, Chicago's own Murph Watkins continued to prove he's in line to pop from Chicago with "All Is Fair" and Banks brings us his latest in "Brain".

With new projects from established musicians like Daft Punk, Kanye West, and Neko Case to up and comers like Chance the Rapper, Lorde, Disclosure, 2013 was a huge year for music. Through a very scientific method, the Ruby Hornet staff has gone through the eclectic mix of 2013's various project releases from hip hop, R&B, indie rock, soul, techno, EDM, and more to deliver our definitive list of 2013 music projects. Check out our list below!


[Video] Chvrches Perform on Letterman

Scottish electro-pop trio Chvrches have been popping up on plenty of year-end "Best of" lists for their breakthrough release, 2013's The Bones of What You Believe. Last night they brought the show to David Letterman himself, performing "We Sink" off of Bones. The quick set was the band's last stateside, after wrapping up a two-month North American tour. Headed across the pond, they play "XFM's Winter Wonderland" in London on Thursday before heading down under for a January tour across Singapore, Australia and Japan. Check out the videos from the other night, along with Chvrches full tour date, below.
