German duo It's a Musical are Ella Blixt and Robert Kretzschmar, who construct lightweight, sugary-sweet pop songs with little more than an electric organ, drums, and their voices. Blix and Kretzschmar share the bulk of the lyrics, singing in unison throughout verses and choruses, adding a playfulness to their songs that goes well with their generally upbeat lyrical subject matter. Their harmonies are adorable, actually; you can almost imagine them holding hands while recording the vocal tracks. The album's title track is probably the best sample of their simple charm; it's a to-the-point bit of DIY [...]

It's A Musical , el dúo berlinés formado por Ella Blixt y Robert Kretzschmar, anuncia la publicación de For Years and Years , su segundo álbum. El primer single es la canción que da título al álbum, mezclado por Norman Nitzsche (The Whitest Boy Alive) y que saldrá al venta el 10 de abril editado por el sello Morr Music. Mp3: It's A Musical. For Years and Years
En Berlinbaserad duo som glatt indietrallar sig genom sin andra skiva, när de inte drar ned tonläget för lite vemodig pianopop. Det låter rätt trevligt i teorin. Men med anonyma melodier stöpta i samma form av charmigt bristfällig produktion, sådana du glömmer så fort musiken tystnat, kompletta med tillhörande naivistiskt löjliga texter om ”peace and trees” och fiskar på havsbottnen, så blir det mest tröttsamt. For Years And Years hade blivit en helt okej trespårs-EP med Ljubljana och The Eleventh Hour-covern The Team That Never Wins som självklara höjdpunkter. Nu är helhetsintrycket av en intetsägande och rätt långtråkig karaktär, och [...]
On April 10th, Berlin-based duo It's A Musical will release their sophomore album For Years And Years through Morr Music. Although the album has a DIY feel to it, the duo of Ella Blix and Robert Kretzschmar are both trained multi-instrumentalists, so expect a variety of sounds on the new album. Download the title track below. Read more »
Its A Musical The Berlin-based duo It's A Musical has released "For Years And Years" from their album, For Years And Years. Listen to the synth-pop delight in this post.

This is my attempt at making some sort of art in our weekly album cover feature. I wanted it to look like a rainbow, but didn't have enough rows for it...so a multicolor stripe was the end result. Three primaries and green. It ain't that bad. The music from these albums are better though. There's more to check out if you go clickety-click on them too.
I will miss the buzz of the Olympics when it's all done. It might not have felt like winter in Vancouver - especially with the dreadful rain that we're having today, but I do think the Winter Olympics was quite a success. I will particularly miss the free concerts and all those cute orange bikes I that the Dutch keep riding around with across the city. So in honor of the 2010 Winter Olympics, I'm having an Olympic themed post. This week, we have five songs that more or less (some really less) represent some of my favorite countries that [...]

So I have a tendency to check record label websites quite often for new music that I may have missed. And one of my favorite labels is Morr Music , which rarely fails to bring gorgeous electronic pop. Point being, I was browsing Morr recently and found It's A Musical! And upon first listen to "The Music Makes Me Sick" I promptly threw my head against the wall. Meaning the music sucked, right? Wrong! I was so mad at myself I hadn't heard of this German duo before I needed to take my anger out physically. But [...]

Unaniem waren we het erover eens dat Ryoichi Kurokawa de beste performance had vrijdagavond: Klik hier om de embedded video te bekijken. William Basinski werd door velen niet echt begrepen terwijl anderen juist [...]
It's a Musical! is Ella Blixt and Robert Kretzschmar, a duo that makes sparkling indie pop music with organs, synths, pianos and drums.No guitars allowed here, ladies and gents. The Swedish/German band has an untouchable element to their music that is both seemingly full of child-like imagination and a dreamy sugar glaze, probably because most of the time the synths feel like they're straight
After having Pain Song on repeat the other night, I decided I should share with you a new track from Berlin based It's A Musical ! They released The Music Makes Me Sick on the mega beloved Morr Music label back in October. Their sweet indie synthy pop is so catchy and serious fun. I love Ella Blixt's voice on all these songs. Get their album here . In the meantime we've got the single for you. You're gonna diiigggg it! The [...]
Oh, dear, it's a musical! E lo so che dovrei stare a casa a covare il raffreddore sotto i piumoni, con un buon libro, qualche dvd arretrato e tazze fumanti di Tachifludec. Ma questo fine settimana allungato si apre con un'infilata di appuntamenti a cui non si può proprio mancare. Perciò eccoci in piedi, con la valigia dei dischi già pronta e il sacco a pelo sottobraccio. Questa sera, sulle frequenze (e sullo streaming) di [...]

Halloween is only a few days away, and hopefully we'll have ourselves lots of treats in the form of these new album releases. A couple of goodies that I definitely can recommend include two releases from Slumberland Records - caUSE co-MOTION's It's Time! and Crystal Stilts' Alight of Night . If indiepop doesn't tickle your fancy, and you want something a little darker, maybe take a look at Deerhunter's Microcastle or Ryan Adams and The Cardinals' Cardinology ? Actually, no thanks on either of those for [...]
