We haven't done an "emerging" post in a while, and we're sorry for that,...
Just let the cawing violin repeat. Let it repeat. "Red, and yellow, green, These things are blurring / Red, and yellow, green, These things are blurring / You say we're all snow / You say we're all snow / You say we're all snow" "Life is gone, life is gone, life is gone..life is gone..." Isn't it captivating? We've made no secret of it, Labyrinth Ear is one of our favorite premiering groups. I'm still in love with their remix of Arthur Russel "Walk on The Moon. " Hell, we even [...]
The debut single from Connecticut electro-pop group Cosmic Watercolors is "Eskimo Kisses". The video is of the lyric type, but it's fine, as the song is lovely in its simplicity. Find them on Facebook .

Milano Sun consists of Johan Jonasson, Love Sivik and David Axelsson, three friends who share an apartment in central Gothenburg, not far from their music studio. The idea to form a band was born one morning in early spring as the boys were basking in the sun of a Milanese park. They were traveling through Europe with two guitars and drums, in search for inspiration. Eventually, the trio wrote their entire upcoming debut album on the road, one song in each city. Last December Milano Sun released their debut single "Already Gone" along with a stop-motion video [...]
Goin' Old School isn't a trip down music memory lane, it's a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia: This week we're kicking it TOTP style with three performances, first up The Human League in 1982 with 'Mirror Man'. A year later Yazoo 's 'Nobody's Diary' from 1983. And finally, 'Things Can Only Get Better' in 1985 from Howard Jones . [...]
Established in 2004, Moodgadget Records has been nurturing the electronic music making process for artists such as Mux Mool, SHIGETO, TEEEL, and André Obin to name a few, but that's just beginning of the list. Jakub Alexander and Adam Hunt built this label from the ground up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, eventually making their way to Brooklyn, New York. Now based in both Brooklyn and Los Angeles, Moodgadget has continued to break down the walls, foraging a new path for electronic music. Although this introduction is long overdue, some artists working with them have recently put out new releases. One being Mux [...]
One of our favourite Russian ElectroPop acts, The Tapeaters , have just unleashed a brand new single, not only new, but also free! Are you ready for summery retro Pop? 'Waiting For A Sign' is pure '80's Pop, of the smooth variety. The kind quaffed haired young dudes in flecked suit jackets would perform on Top Of The Pops around the middle of the decade. It's a fun, catchy tune with enough groove to get you moving on the dancefloor and enough crooned vocals to be radio friendly. The 'Luncay Mix' keeps the '80's feel but chunks [...]

Crozet: We'll Be Gone By Then - Crozet are a synth pop duo from New Jersey. Channeling influences from electronic masters like M83 , Crozet craft pop songs in a sometimes lo-fi vain, but maintain an upbeat tone throughout their debut with masterful skill. Synth pop has taken a number of different forms over the years, but few of those artists actually have the crossover appeal that Crozet has. This is primarily because their vocals, along with the ambitious programming, etc., are quite exceptional, but I'll get into that later... [...]
jessika rapo y henry ojala se conocen desde críos. viviendo en pueblos vecinos y enamorados de la música, es inevitable que se terminaran encontrando, aunque sus caminos se distanciaran al formar parte de grupos afines pero diferentes; le futur pompiste , ella, y cats on fire , él. pero, en 2004, cuando las dos bandas se embarcaron en una gira conjunta por suecia, rapo y ojala supieron que tenían que hacer algo juntos. ese "algo" es burning hearts , dúo finlandés de exquisito indie-synth-pop vaporoso cuyo primer [...]
Ritorna Chad Valley, raffinatissimo artista elettronico, che riesce sempre ad affascinarmi con le sue atmosfere ben calibrate. Questa volta lo fa con Reach Lines: una base di sintetizzatori da documentario...
Choir of Young Believers from Denmark is sci-fi pop with 80s/Joy Division undertones. The beats are muted and the synth is prominent on "Patricia's Thirst." "Nye Nummer Et" takes a wholer, more cinematic tone, swelling with a violin and minor-key falsetto, bordering on Active-Child indie-opratic. Their sophomore album Rhine Gold will be released March 20 on Ghostly International and they'll be on a U.S. tour this Spring. See them in L.A. at The Echo on March 9th. From Stereogum - "Patricia's Thirst" From Paste premiere - "Nye Nummer Et" [...]

Brooklyn experimental pop outfit Young Heel first caught our attention with their winter-cool, chillwave-y take on the Ready For The World booty call jam "Love You Down". The band's new EP Falls sadly doesn't include any new '802s R&B covers, but the five-track (plus a two-minute outro) mini-set does a fine job further establishing the benefits of being submerged in their glacial blue-eyed soul-meets-synth pop pulses. On "Knowing", the four-piece trace a relationship's slow dissolution ("When I look into your eyes, I don't see myself") with a wide-screen-worthy broodiness, [...]

Miss MGMT? Pining for Passion Pit? Here's your fix: The Ghosts ' debut single ticks all the vital synth-pop boxes, from falsetto vocals to an impossibly perky disposition. Just ignore that growing sense of déja vu and bounce along in giddy glee. [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

In less than one second, I thought "Goldfrapp", at least musically. The voice: I thought of a Hooverphonic vocalist or even closer: Puracane ... still, I can't say I do not like this track from Canada's Ariane Moffat. Check out " In Your Body ", a single from "MA", written, performed and produced completely by Ariane herself; in her creative space, at studio Planet and at Montrealʼs Hotel2tango studio (Arcade Fire, Barr Brothers, Handsome Furs). iTunes Pre Order Link Canal Pop sent me a fun, [...]

Brooklyn-based Australian transplants WAZU have released their first self-titled EP on Anti-Language Recordings. Described as "Neon Murder Music for the Dance Floor", and "synth-heavy, post-apocalyptic pop that tips its hat to dark wave gothic gloom while shimmering with a healthy dose of neon (Ziggy) stardust." Download Murder 1 Free Music, Every Day. Subscribe to the Daily Dose. [...]
Swansea Recreation Centre + Blood Rexdale And The Walls Are Blonde - Unchained Swan Blood I've always considered the humorous element to Swansea Recreation Centre 's music one of its defining features, so I was pleased to see its patent exaggeration on this collaboration with Toronto folk band Blood Rexdale And The Walls Are Blonde (who provided vocals), for this bouncy synth-pop influenced quasi-cover of The Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody". The video teeters on the cusp of sublimity, and I'm so taken up in the Ariel Pink-esque vibe of the whole creation that [...]
Goin' Old School isn't a trip down music memory lane, it's a mugging in the dark alleyway of nostalgia: OK, so I'm not sure why 'Headhunter' hasn't made Goin' Old School yet, but it's time to rectify that. Anton Corbijn directed Front 242 , in their game changing track from 1988. Be crushed by that bassline, it's literally all reverb (the original sound was removed). Pure '80's Synth Funk here from The System and their 1982 track 'You [...]
Os Desire, encontro de trilhos pop trazidos pelos Glass Candy e trilhos synthpop oferecidos pelos Chromatics com a belíssima voz aconchegante da canadiana Megan têm estado mais na berra desde que um dos seus temas entrou no alinhamento da banda sonora do filme "Drive". Com selo Italians Do It Better, esta synthpop melancólica é a ideal, tal como ontem dizia, de acabar de vez com a
Narrow Sparrow has easily established itself as a band that cares as much about its visuals as it does about its soundscapes. For the Chicago group's new video "Spooky Head," Narrow Sparrow couples ghoulish Disney-style 1920s animation with buzzy atmospherics that come off as an electro-pop version of doo wop that could be ideal for the slow dance at a prom. You know, if your prom committee includes Crispin Glover and Edward Scissorhands. Narrow Sparrow's Synthworks EP is available for free download on its Bandcamp page .
