Roller Derby Return with Dreams

After a slight line-up change, I’m really glad that Germany’s Roller Derby are back this year. I must have listened to “Always on My Mind” over 1000 times all on my own, and in fact, still jamming that track at least once or twice a week. They’ve just popped back in with a new single, one that shows their craft can be more elegant and elaborate in regards to their prospective pop sensibilities. They’ve peeled back the immediacy, allowing Philine to control the melody expertly; her voice is the dominant force, dancing over this driving groove that let’s plenty of space get filled in by keyboards and dainty guitar lines. A triumphant return, and finger’s crossed we get to hear more soon.

New Jam From Taken By Trees

Wow, this new song “Dreams” by lovely lady Victoria Bergsman, a.k.a. Taken By Trees, is one mighty fine piece of work.  The song somehow manages to get better each time I listen to it with its building reggae-esque rhythm section and breezy guitar parts.  You also have to mention the always lovely voice of Bersgman and her simple yet still perfect approach to delivery.  This song appears on a 12″ EP of same name that will feature some extended instrumentals and remixes along with this fancy new track.  That 12″ will be out August 7th on Secretly Canadian.
