Meet Oh Land , the most intriguing alt/folk/indie/electro/however -the-fuck-you'd-like-to-label- this artist you're going to hear about this year. Oh Land, born Nanna Øland Fabricius, grew up "with an opera singer for a mother, a theater organist for a father and Björk 's Homogenic on constant rotation" according to her MySpace . Points abound already, no? Following the homeland success of her 2008 debut album, Fauna , the gorgeous (see above; admire cheek bones) ballerina-turned-musician made a move to Brooklyn in 2010 to take her ambitions to the next level. Combining [...]

Émilie Simon e exemplul perfect de singer-songwriter cu background muzical solid, interesata permanent de noi inovatii, asa cum e si clipul de mai sus. Din background nu lipsesc Tenori-On sau Doepfer Dark Energy synth, pentru a contura o piesa care imi aminteste de Kate Bush. E ceva sincer si prodigios in aceste inregistrari de apartament. Un playground construit in jurul noilor inovatii, cum e si acel controller de pe brat, inventat de Cyrille Brissot de la IRCAM . Émilie Simon nu face muzica experimentala, ce scoate din tenori si din sintetizatoare nu suna nicidecum [...]

The French chanteuse is back with a full-length all-English album titled The Big Machine that is supposed to drop on September 21st. "Dreamland" is supposed to be the first single. We hope she brings the louder beats to this and not just the sombre numbers. Posted in Beats, Eurobeat Tagged: album, Émilie Simon, big, download, dreamland, emilie, leak, machine, new, rip

Good news! According to Émilie Simon 's latest blog (well, more of a series of photos), it's all systems go for the electro chanteuse's next record. The singer has been working at Electric Lady Studio in New York in preparation for the follow-up to her last actual studio album, 2006's Végétal . I myself cannot wait. What's everyone's favorite Simon song? It's got to be "Flowers" for me--a silly little tale of unrequited love in just two minutes flat! I want to buy you flowers...it's such a shame you're a [...]

Émilie Simon - Space Oddity [originally by David Bowie] You know I'm a sucker for Bowie covers and this great one showed up in my inbox last week courtesy of one of them promo people. Émilie Simon is a pop/electronic singer-songwriter from France whose latest album is due in the new year. Her take on the Bowie classic is unexpectedly euphoric as it reaches the chorus, accompanied by a myriad of beautiful sounds weaving their way through the space narrative. Curiously, Simon provided the original soundtrack to the French documentary March of the [...]

Spektrum "Don't Be Shy" - I love Spektrum because they are so utterly devoid of shyness. Their enormous grooves seek only to overwhelm and dominate listeners with the sheer force of their sound and Lola Olafisoye's imperious sexuality. They are one of the few acts on the planet capable of making Basement Jaxx seem mild, and they've managed to make an entire album of unrelenting electro-funk bangers that either eclipse or come close to matching the intensity of their 2005 single (and opening track) "May Day." "Don't [...]

(Click here to watch video from YouTube.) Emilie Simon wants to buy a boy flowers. Who am I to argue? This song is from her first disc, Emilie Simon . Barbara Carlotti returns the favor with her version of the Zombies "A Rose For Emily" from her beautiful disc, Les Lys [...]
