TODAY'S PICKS

DAILY TRACK: Harlem Shakes - "Sickos" New York-based five-piece Harlem Shakes sound like they were made for a groovy loft party: jagged riffs and '50s doo-wop-inspired backing vocals, all layered atop fast-paced tracks. One such track, "Sickos," is a beautiful intersection of artful guitar downstrokes, '60s-inspired background melodies and spooky keyboards, while singer Lexy Benaim urgently recommends, "If there's a bomb in your hand, just throw it!" Click here for more on the Harlem Shakes, including where to hear "Sickos."
