“Mind Over Matter" by Young The Giant Review

Aside from breakout singles “Cough Syrup” and “My Body,” Young the Giant’s 2010 debut album was far from noteworthy.

Hidden Gems: Grammy Edition

“Music’s biggest night” (take a drink) seems to be all about the radio–abused mainstream artists (shoutout to our boy Jay–Z, who’s nominated nine times in seven different categories). In the spirit of fairness, here are the nominated artists who don’t share the airwaves with Taylor Swift and Rihanna. Give them a listen.
