(All rights reserved)

Twin Shadow, aka Brooklyn-based musician George Lewis Jr., reenters the music blogosphere after releasing a new track called "Changes," a remake of "Circus Is Gone" by 1980s band Baggare. Also, a new face in The Hype Machine's most blogged artists chart on September 19 is Australian band Royal Headache.

Twin Shadow is reportedly working on a follow-up to his acclaimed debut album, 2010's Forget. In his latest cover track of a relatively obscure '80s track, he "redressed the song, from something seemed almost introspective and sad, into a sexual electro jam," writes blogger Tympanogram.

Sydney-based breakout rock-pop band Royal Headache represents it home country in this month's Music Alliance Pact's (MAP) monthly listing of up-and-coming music acts from around the world. "After a couple of years of drip-feeding 7", CD-R and cassette releases, the time has arrived for the release of Royal Headache's debut album," writes blogger Who The Hell Are They?, who shared the track "Down the Lane."
