Check out this extremely cool new track by NY duo Jonka called Every Other Day ...a little less pop and a little more chilly electronic, but they remain fans of psychedelic videos...from the band's forthcoming album Pinks and Blues ! Every Other Day - preview mix by Jonka
Stream the new Richard Hawley single Leave Your Body Behind You from his forthcoming album Standing at the Sky's Edge . More britpop than the heartfelt crooning we're used to, but still very good...of course it is! Have to agree with this (no longer recall where I read it): " we really don't need another album from him doing exactly the same ". So interesting if this is actually a major career move or just the odd song out [...]
Check out When Saints Go Machine 's cover of Bitter Sweet Symphony ...to be quite frank, I expected it to better...a whole lot better! Bitter Sweet Symphony (The Verve Cover) by When Saints Go Machine
New beautiful and dreamy (and a tiny bit spooky as well) video for the equally beautiful and dreamy Flutterby by Starlight Girls ... Starlight Girls - Flutterby
Enjoy the live in studio version of new Kent single 999 . The band is definitely (and finally!) back in form and hopefully the forthcoming album Jag är inte rädd för mörkret will be just as brilliant!?!?
Three year old festival Musik i Lejet (taking place on 20 - 22 July, 2012 in Tisvilde located on the northern coast of Zealand ) has announced the first three names for this year's festival and to be honest I'm really quite overwhelmed! Michael Møller , Rangleklods and Chorus Grant is a pretty decent start and now one can only hope that the rest [...]
Stream the new single Kærestebrevet ("The Lover Letter") by Danish duo Stoffer & Maskinen . Getting the impression that the duo (on this recording at least) has decided to make a "conversion" from electronic rock to a more mainstream electronic pop sound. Which definitely isn't meant as a complaint, because the end result is brilliant; stunningly brilliant! Kærestebrevet [...]
Here's a really lovely one posted by Torr on Facebook ... the melancholic and beautiful I Cherish The Heartbreak More Than The Love That I Lost is the debut single from Crybaby and sounds exactly like something that will immediately appeal to all fans of Richard Hawley . Crybaby - [...]
From what I often refer to as ”the department of good news” comes word that young Danish trio Tetris=Therapy will release a new EP entitled The Temperance EP on April 23. Track list, art work, the stories behind the song etc. have all been revealed, but since no track has been made available for streaming (at least not yet), I (or anyone else for the matter) haven’t the faintest idea if the EP will be anywhere as terrific as the debut album [...]
Stream two new tracks from the forthcoming From Sarah debut album Are We OK? that will be out on March 26 . Still think the band sounds an awful lot like Kashmir (it's tedious I know that I keep stating this again and again, but simply impossible to ignore when listening), but since they write some really fine songs, I guess I can live with that! [...]
Has to be match-up post title of the year? Anyway...three real interesting albums (one of them as a CD, which is pretty rare these days) arrived in the mailbox this weekend and it's my intention to spend some time (a lot of time actually) today, and probably tomorrow as well, giving them quite a few listens. I sort of expect all three of them to be worth the time and effort. In case you're wondering or interested these are the albums (will add some thoughts on each album during the day): Emerald Park [...]
Not exactly breaking news that I won't be going to SXSW this year...either! I really wish I was (like I always do), because that way the hundreds of emails coming my way promotion various showcases at said festival could perhaps be of some use. Instead I've spent the past 6 months preparing for a Marathon , so on Friday March 16 I'll be flying to Rome (that's the capital of Italy , if you somehow ignorantly thought I was thinking of any [...]
Just a couple of quick ones... Check the line-up for this year's NYC Popfest and start drooling...looks pretty good don't you think!? The new Sleep Party People track Chin is doing terribly on the Hypem Popular chart . Go heart it please! Musically I think they've move on quite a bit since the debut ( A Dark Good Heart [...]
Currently listening a great deal to young Danish quartet Le Clé . The 4 track debut EP is free to download from the band's webpage in return for a Facebook post (though I couldn't make it work) and three of the tracks on it are the charming energetic indie pop party type of songs that probably will make quite a few people think of Ginger Ninja . They'll be at Rust tomorrow where they'll be joined by blog favorite (hero) [...]
Seems like I beat the promo mail by a few hours, as later yesterday Matinée Recordings mailed out a few more details (including the sleeve) about that highly anticipated Strawberry Whiplash debut Hits In The Car ; with the best part being that the super lovely Now I Know It's You has been made available as a free download! + Now I Know It's You
On March 27 the debut album from noise pop (or so they are labeled) Scottish act Strawberry Whiplash is finally being released by Matinée Recordings , but preorders are already gladly accepted via the Matinée Shop . As mentioned in a few older posts, the album will be entitled Hits In The Car , thus now and forever securing that it will top the list of “the best album titles ever”! [...]
Stream/download new track Time by Danish indie pop/ Sarah Records inspired one man project Athletes ...totally brilliant stuff! Time by Athletes
Watch the video for first single Fjendemin from the forthcoming Jonas Breum solo album. The song is brilliant; the video is...don't really know what it is...
Here’s one of those little gems I always dream of finding every time I optimistically begin scrolling through the pile of promo mails. Rarely happens, but it sure makes my day when it does! Debut(?) track Consistency by US duo Stagnant Pools is energetic, pounding, noisy (not too noisy) and catchy, which I personally believe are some of the essential ingredients needed to make great songs! [...]
J.A. recommends the new single REM by Sweden 's The Pale Corners (no clue if the song title has anything to do with a certain band?)...and it is a very nice pop song indeed, though perhaps not quite as catchy as previous single Fireflies ...what do you think? The Pale Corners [...]
