Bouncy, memorable pop songs are kind of like the play-action pass. If you have a good run game (read as: songwriting chops), the D (in this case, the audience) always bites and you've got a big play on your hands. Wildlife Control are already in the endzone celebrating because "Analog or Digital" just took it to the house. Vocally the track takes me back to my early youth, and with the chugging guitar acting as a steady and hypnotic beat I have probably listened to this track eleven or twelve times in a row now. [...]
Warning: the infectious hooks of "Ronald Reagan's Cousin" could have you dancing on your desk with Team Genius instantly without fear of judgment.

nicola roberts - yo yo [there's something almost exciting when you hear a nicola roberts tune for the first time. she's definitely found a smart group of songwriters who manage to set up a seemingly standard song structure then spins it on it's head. previous releases have challenged my pop sensibilities and 'yo yo' is no different. once again, the song starts off all doo wop ditty and then manages to climax with a falsetto bridge that makes you wonder if nicola has the chops to keep it up. it's all very wonderfully engaging if you ask [...]

Formerly of GusGus, Hafdis Huld has done well as a solo artists. The Icelandic muse is already on the campaign for her third album and this is the lead single off of it. It's kooky, as we came to expect from her, but also perfect for those crisp autumn mornings. The lyrics are simple yet striking. The arrangement is the same without straying too far away from her signature sound which is a great mixture between winter folk and playground love. This track is a breezy numbered that will leave you wanting more. Filed [...]

It's a special day for the EardrumsPop-team today! (EardrumsPop is our netlabel) We have a new, free release available, - a gorgeous 3 track single from the Australian-born/London-based artist Laura K . I have decided not to even TRY to stay away from using superlatives and BIG words about this, our own, release, because it is so good, that I can't avoid using such words even if I had tried really hard. Laura is also a member of another favourite band of mine, Tigercats , and I believe it's her voice that can be [...]
