Red Sleeping Beauty Share August Single

Leave a comment

Every month we get a new track from Red Sleeping Beauty, and you know what, I might have taken that for granted, as I didn’t slide into their August single until the 3rd of the month! So, here I am aiming to rectify my error by sharing that new single with you today. This one’s a slow electro burn, working with a synthetic pulse that rides beneath the surface; the core vocals here lead to this track’s international flavor, offering three distinctive language, although I can only understand the Spanish and English. As always, they take all their tricks and weave it into this basket of sugary treats that keeps us coming back month after month to celebrate the band’s Song a Month Single Series.

Holy Wire Offer Latest Single

Leave a comment

At our annual SXSW party last year, we were stoked to have Holy Wire on that bill; Alalin Paladis has been really diving into charming indiepop, harnessing the pieces of nostalgia we adore and continuing to push them those sounds. On the latest single from the project, you have a dancefloor ready number, punching the groove from the get go, with Paladis’ vocals soaring as they are wont to do. Interestingly, the musical element, and the euphoric vocal burst from Alain seem hell-bent on reaching euphoria, but lyrically, it seems like the song’s about retracing moments of regret, so you’ve got this class between concept and style…something right up my alley. The tune’s going to be on a cassingle, so grab it now HERE!

Endearments Share Empress Single

Leave a comment

Some reason, I’ve just been wanting to spin and dance and smile; I guess I’m just fed up with feeling fed up. For me, I always turn to music, and this Endearments tune is a bit of an early morning bop to slid you into your midweek grind. There’s that sort of casual smoothness to it, sort of slinking its way into your life; it has a touch of that sort of crystalline synth pop mood. When it hits the chorus, it’s a quick little burst of euphoria, emphasized by some backing vocal tracks to push it forward. And each time, it crawls back to the calming waters of late night electronic pop, perfect for the late night playlist you made for your friends. This track appears on Father of Wands, out November 5th.

Subtle Electro Pop from XOR

Leave a comment

Perhaps this is entirely due to growing up surrounded by Depeche Mode cassettes, but there’s something truly special about what XOR is doing in the realms of electronic pop. The majority of the scene features heavy hitting notes, dropped beats that just push and push, but not here. Instead, you get these twinkling synth notes and a steady drum loop; it’s got pace, but its not frantic, more like steadying the ship so as to allow the guitar lines to jump in and dance around. If you were a big fan of Soviet in the early 00s, then this new project from Matthew of Secret Shame should be right up your alley; XOR releases the self-titled debut LP on July 30th.

Another New Club 8 Tune

Leave a comment

Swedish group Club 8 are forever shapeshifting, though always revolving somewhere in the realm of great pop music. Their latest single is no different, featuring this heavy groove in background while the vocals sort of ride the natural wave of the song’s melody. There’s a slight lift in the vocals during the chorus, soaring just a note or two higher, empowered by the increased tempo of the beat. It’s a short number, and maybe I would have liked another thirty seconds or another chorus, but if you listen below you’ll see what’s before you is more than enough to capture your attention.

Pulsing Electro Pop from Club 8

Leave a comment

For some reason, and perhaps this is all on me, but I always thought of Club 8 as a purely indiepop hit machine. Sure, they stretched the form a bit, but from what we’ve heard off their 10th album, it looks like they’re really emphasizing the club punch on this go round. This jam has this throbbing pulse, kicked up by these electronic punches. Interestingly, the notes coincide with the breathy vocal delivery, matching note for note. It’s the sort of tune where you expect to sort of lose yourself within the confines of a fog filled club, lost in the beat of song; the chorus is pretty special too. Fire will be released January 26th via Labrador.

Have a Nice Weekend With Lou Rebecca and Night Drive

Leave a comment

It has been a pretty good week of electronic jams. From the new Fever Ray today to Bayonne’s latest to the Korine track. All solid offerings. Maybe you should just resolve to shimmy all weekend with this cooler weather. It is finally fall. LCD Soundsystem out at COTA seems a good way to spend Halloween. I am hoping my skwuad can rock our onesies. If you see a platypus, perhaps with a camera, say hi.

I will leave everyone with one last bit of electro-pop goodness. It is from French-born, part-time local Lou Rebecca, who with Josh Mills on programming and keys, has been turning out wonderfully crafted French disco. Holodeck picked up the pending release and we now have a full shimmy-inducing slice of heaven following the more thoughtfully subdued and bilingual lead single from the S/T EP.

Almost forgot. Our friends Night Drive have a video out for “Trapeze Artist Regrets”. Check it.

Tasty Electropop from Korine

One comment


B. Gray is going to be so jealous that I stumbled onto this new collection of electro hits from Korine. The Philly band just released their latest Corsage, and man, it’s definitely going to hit home for those of you in love with the 80s club sound. I think my personal favorite of the tracks is “Sweet Mystery,” rocking the darker tones of the synth vibe. Admittedly, it’s nothing out of the ordinary when it comes to the genre, but sometimes the execution is all that matters…and they do it perfectly in these 5 tracks. Give it a listen.

Mons Vi Drop Spanglish Electropop

Leave a comment

We’ve posted about Mons Vi a few times before, and when the band reached out with their latest bit of pop, I had to oblige and get it up. For one, the song’s great in its concept; it’s a conversation between two lovers, one speaking Spanish and the other English. Just imagine you’re enjoying a sit-down at your favorite chillaxing spot, with a more multi-cultural version of the Postal Service bouncing through the speakers. Playful and captivating all at once, so why not share that feeling with you all.

Even More New Black Marble

Leave a comment

blackBy now you’ve noticed my affection for the electro-musings of Black Marble, thus when another song pops up, I’m going to share it with you. This new track has the feeling I’ve been looking for as we head into the cooler (ish) months; it’s practically bedroom pop, which very may have been the way it was recorded…and meant to be enjoyed. I also get this faintly haunted feeling from it, giving it another avenue to be explored during my listening excursion. We’re still a good solid month out from It’s Immaterial, which is the new LP being released by Ghostly on October 14th.
