NEW MUSIC: Monogem - Wild (Video)

Electro-pop singer/songwriter Monogem shows an innocent and charming way of two you people going “Wild”. From an East Coast point of view this all looks very L.A.: big houses, late night jump into a pool and both actors are some sort of celebrities. But there is a limit

SONG PICK: Tsar B - Golddigger

Belgium-based singer Tsar B has found her signature sound in mysteriously oriental harmonies combined with electronic beats.

SONG PICK: Sgrow - Is Anyone Where They Want To Be?

Sgrow is Vilde Nupen and Kristoffer Lislegaard, a duo from Norway. Their latest song “Is Anyone Where They Want To Be?” is a dark and menacing piece of electronic music. Minimal beats and melodic elements underline Vilde’s vocals that come from a place of self-doubt and insecurity. Is anyone

SONG PICK: PANGEA - Something Bad

“Something Bad”, the debut single by indie rockers PANGEA, is something extraordinarily good. I’m swooning over the velvety vocals together with the soulful lead guitar and am swept away by the track’s joyful, funky, dance floor vibe. The lyrical content though goes deeper, as frontman Slye explains: “Something

SONG PICK: Flora Cash - California

SONG PICK: Is Bliss - Into A Dream

Rarely is a band’s name more appropriate than it is the case for U.K. psychedelic shoegaze three-piece Is Bliss because their new single “Into A Dream” is total heaven for fans of this genre. So. Incredibly. Good. Think of some of the genre’s most famous and beloved

SONG PICK: åMBe - Of Your Crimes (Video)

“Of Your Crimes” by Brooklyn musician åMBe is not the theme song of the next James Bond movie, but it should be – maybe this would breathe new life into the aging franchise. Maria Brodskaya, the woman behind åMBe, is an accomplished classically trained musician, who today released the EP “Enemy

SONG PICK: Simian Ghost - Stop Moving

While the title of Simian Ghost‘s new single is “Stop Moving” the actual songs make you want to do the exact opposite. “Stop Moving” is an incredibly upbeat and vibrating song, that makes you want to get up onto your feet and start dancing or at the very least

SONG PICK: Will Joseph Cook - Plastic

“Plastic” is a blissfully bright and infectious indie-pop song but there is more to it!
