Para quem já se declara órfão do som que o Two Door Cinema Club mostrou no primeiro registro, Tourist History (2010), boas notícias: nem tudo está perdido. Diretamente de Oulu, os finlandeses do Satellite Stories podem não ter estourado nos charts como os colegas, mas prometem a energia e a vitalidade que o Beacon (2012) deixou a desejar. Desde 2008, os riffs inspirados e as batidas dançantes do quarteto contagiam qualquer pista de dança, e o debut de 2012, o ótimo Phrases To Break The Ice , foi a prova disso. Agora eles voltam com o [...]
It’s Saturday, so that means it’s once again time for Shorthanded Goals. It's Monday, so that means I was out of town all last week for my own birthday and am way behind on the inbox. It's time for Shorthanded Goals, wherein this particlar time you'll likely see a few tracks I'd have normally featured on their own included. Shorthanded Goals is a feature that melds the best of both worlds. More artists wanting to catch your eyes and ears and hearts – whether they be free giveaways from [...]
Finland’s greatest hope to take over the world, Satellite Stories have dropped their uptempo new single “Scandinavian Girls”. I hate always bringing up the Two Door comparisons with these guys, but I just mean in as a compliment to show how big this band can get. Pure infectious indie-pop that has the potential to make a whole demographic of ladies get very upset. The single will be out June 17th in the UK on Tri-Tone / PIAS. Stay tuned for an album afterwards.

Satellite Stories released their debut album, Phrases to Break The Ice , last year. Across it's ten tracks we noted that it was "a good album if one can look at it for what it is and temper expectations accordingly. Satellite Stories have done something that many bands never do, they’ve found “their” sound, but they still have room to grow. If they can add a bit of variation to their repertoire, they can be one of the better indie-pop bands out there." And now we have the first snippet of their second album. [...]
What's not to love about Scandanavian Girls and Satellite Stories . Following up an overwhelmingly fantastic debut album the Finish Indie Rockers return with a brand new single for us. Showcasing once again why their my personal favourite Indie band around ' Scandinavian Girls ' is a joyous effort brimming with carefree fun and enjoyment. With their vibrant bursts of high-powered charisma taking the forefront we're carried onwards in to an infectious explosion of positivity and delight. No one writes upbeat pop songs like these guys! Check out [...]
We premiered Satellite Stories single "Sirens" about a year ago, and about an hour ago, the Finns returned with another gem. Now, if you're like me and don't know much about Scandinavian girls-fear not! This song teaches you EVERYTHING about Scandinavian girls. Not only is it an upbeat indie pop jam straddling on rolling guitar rips and the spunk of a rabid raccoon, it's also highly educational. The break around 2:00 is golden. - Follow @THEArjunGrover

I will say, however, that I played a serious game of catch up yesterday after being on vacation all last week, and have a ridiculous amount of music for you.

Here's to a great (GRAMMY) week ahead! [...]

Poet Pablo Neruda masterfully blends love, fruit and slaughtering butterflies in his poem What Spring Does with the Cherry Trees . The poem's essence can be summed up best by its closing line "I want to do with you what the spring does with the cherry trees." In most of the word spring isn't yet here. In Florida, I don't think it ever left. Still, it would be premature to base this mix solely on the seasons. Instead I base it on the theme. Love. Fruit. Dark chocolate. February is all of these things (for [...]
Finland's Satellite Stories is a reliable band to turn to for catchy, bouncing tunes that may be a little mysterious as far as lyrics, but bodes extremely well in rhythm and pace. The band just released a single EP for the sprinting song "Kids Aren't Safe In The Metro." It includes the single and 5 (five) [...]
25. Few musicians have blown up this year more than Ryan Hemsworth. Seriously, everything the guy puts out seems to instantly explode on hype machine these days. Although I'm hesitant to give respect to producers that only remix popular artists, it appears that Hemsworth has what it takes to become a big-name producer himself. Although I put off liking him the entire year, his recent remix of Mikky Ekko's track "Pull Me Down" forced me to give him another chance. The dude clearly has skills, but I haven't fallen in love with his original work yet. Until that [...]

Here are 10 tracks that never left heavy rotation on my personal playlist the second half of 2012. Again, it was brutal trying to pare this down to 10 songs.

"If they can add a bit of variation to their repertoire, good things will come..." Satellite Stories | Phrases To Break The Ice There can be no debate about the recent glut of excellent bands from the Baltic States, and it appears that this trend may be continuing. Phrases To Break The Ice , the debut effort from Finnish four piece Satellite Stories has boosted their entry into the crowded indie-pop scene and foretells the potential of excellent things to come. After wrapping up their recent tour of Finland, it is certain that [...]
Satellite Stories: Phrases to Break the Ice - I dare you to listen to the new album Phrases to Break the Ice by Satellite Stories and not dance your face off. The entire album is filled with fun, ass-shaking beats that are guaranteed to cause you to forget all your troubles and exude happiness from every pore in your body.

Tanzschuhe, ihr müsst wieder dran glauben. Das finnische Indietronic-Quartett Satellite Stories entert den Berliner Magnet Club und wird euch einigen abverlangen. Habt ihr gerade erst die Festival-Saison und damit diverse Dreckschichten überstanden, müsst ihr armen Schuhen nun wieder inmitten von hunderten schwitzenden Socken um Luft ringen. Aber da müsst ihr durch... Denn so sehr ich auch Mitleid mit euch habe, umso größer ist die Freude, dass Satellite Stories endlich da sind! Wochenlang beschallten sie mein Arbeitszimmer und gelegentlich nervte ihre Musik auch meine U-Bahn-Nachbarn. Aber das ist nun alles vorbei! Endlich! [...]
It's the weekend! The weather looks all set to be shite, so put a warm jumper on, pour yourself an ale and indulge in the tracks below; all of which dropped into the GFP inbox this week. ENJOY. Everglade ~ Orchid Orchid is " Dutch Post-Balaeric ", apparently. Meh. However you wish to label this new release from the wonderful ZoologyRecords, the point still stands that this is a tremendously infectious fuzzy-synth workout. At-once both reflective and extremely danceable, the track is available as a free download [...]
