It's finally here. a full six months since the last one here is a few more electro wonders to throw at everyone. Good Luck at the Gunfight have been one of my favourite finds of the last couple of months, with a distinctly summery Daft Punk-esque sound going on in their debut (and free) EP. Filthy Dukes have produced some more eminently danceable synthpop from there wonderful Nonsense in the Dark James Rutledge does the remix job on Fever Ray [...]

Image taken from here The Middle East - The Darkest Side It's nice to come across beautiful songs via international blogs and find out they're Australian. Soft guitar strumming, heartfelt music and lyrics, female backed vocals... I have been missing Angus and Julia Stone so this is a warm welcome. A couple of their other songs have come off very shoegaze. Hopefully they'll stick more closely with the sound of this song. Now if they could just release an album and do some more national touring!

Big V's escapes blaze, Haley Bonar says goodbye to MN, Atmosphere drops free EP & next week's best new releases.

Faster faster Faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death. You know what I love about this photo? I love that this is a scan of someones actual photo. I can tell it's a scan from those striations on the right side, and also from that sorta pixelated color in the corner. The fact that this is a scan means that, somewhere...somewhere... this was shot on fine grain silver, and the negative is sitting in a box, to preserve this very fine moment for all eternity. It also means someone loved it enough to scan it. Going [...]

Weightless rain drops of electronic pop sprinkling down from melodic clouds to fill your ear with the proper nourishment you've been longing. Ghost in the Water's calm and soothing sound can either lift you up from many of your worries as you wake up early on a beautiful Monday morning or bring back haunted memories of longing. Whatever the side effect may be, Ghost in the Water is definitely a duo worth checking out. Their song "A Nightmare" rich in melodic bells with small doses of glitchs and taps, soft in sound yet powerful in emotion captivated me to check [...]

Anyone in, around or near Minneapolis this weekend should be excited to hear that Ghost In The Water will playing this Saturday (the 6th June) with the excellent Telepathe from Brooklyn and Teengirl Fantasy at 7th St. Entry.

Last week when I did a little writeup for PILLAGE I told you to check out the compilation dubbed "Be Juicy" from On The Fruit Records . Well if you ignored my advice you missed out on some amazing artists and songs. But to further prove my point and try to entice you once again, I present Double Dragon , a duo coming straight outta south France. Double Dragon are no newbs to the game, although under represented in the blogosphere, they've done remixes for the likes of NOTe [...]

Hyder Ali interviewed, Gojira to play Station 4, Aby Wolf reviewed & Minneapolis bands at SXSW

By virtue of the marvellous ambiguity of the English language, you can read that title two ways: Nathan and Mandy, the husband-and-wife musical duo who together are Ghost In The Water, do actually live in Minneapolis (I know where, but I'm not telling you or you'll stalk them and try and steal their glockenspiel); AND on Friday 20th March they're playing live, as in a gig/show, in the fine city of Minneapolis. The show is dubbed an Electropop Birthday Dance Party to celebrate Nathan and Mandy's birthdays (Happy Birthday guys!). It's at 923 Washington Avenue, North [...]
Fear Of Tigers is a Valerie approved musician from London who I have been following for some time. Ben - as he is called in real life - blogged about the heavy snowfalls in England yesterday exactly at the time when I was complaining about relatively warm temperatures melting the snow on the mountains in Switzerland. I was pretty jealous because I felt like running around in the snow! So I just dropped him a message asking about any new tracks. Guess what: I was lucky! Or rather: we were lucky! Here comes a brand [...]

Hidden Shoal Recordings The Heart Perth's mythic isolation is oft romanticised. The most isolated city in the world according to popular media. Whilst there is a thread in this romanticism that rings true, we think there is a more interesting notion of distance at play with our artists. Over the last 10 years we have witnessed a minor retreat from the stage to the home studio amongst our musical kin. It is this inner space and padding from the outside that has nurtured a [...]
