    It's been a while since Tokimonsta released Creature Dreams, but please believe that that joint is still in regular rotation.

    Although it's really difficult to pick favorites off the EP because it's all incredibly solid, "Darkest (Dim)" featuring the marvelous Gavin Turek on vocals is probably one of our favorites - if we had to pick.

    Featuring the lovely Turek herself, the video plays out like a breathtaking fantasy film showing the poignant intersection of the light and dark worlds. Makes the song seem even more like a prayer - so beautiful!

    Video: Marbert Rocel – “Whether The Night” + “Monsterparty” MP3

    German band Marbert Rocel has instantly won our favor with their recent releases. Mixing folk, pop, electronic, and jazz, the quartet has got some serious charm going on all the way from their instrumentals to vocals a la Quadron, Little Dragon, The XX, and Feist.

    Above, watch animated paint spatters to accompany the syncopated chants and calming coos of "Whether The Night." Below, you can change gears and twirl about to the danceable disco and house tinged "Monster Party," which is also available for free download. Friday night is set.

    Since you're obviously loving this as much as we are, you'll be delighted to know that there is more to come on their upcoming album, Small Hours, due April 20th!
