SONG PICK: Tsar B - Golddigger

Belgium-based singer Tsar B has found her signature sound in mysteriously oriental harmonies combined with electronic beats. Her new track “Golddigger” plays with the meaning of the word: somebody is trying to find the gold by playing tricks on her, not to much success. The drums thunder while she lays

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

I imagine California and Sweden very different places and that may be exactly the point of the new track by Flora Cash. The duo points out: California describes a longing to be free; even when the prospect of achieving that freedom, is itself daunting. You can hear this in the

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: Young Galaxy - Stay for Real

SONG PICK: Will Joseph Cook - Plastic

“Plastic” is a blissfully bright and infectious indie-pop song but there is more to it! Lurking somewhere underneath the optimistic vibe is some profound suspense and seriousness that lends the track its edge and special allure. “Plastic” is the newest single from London-based Will Joseph Cook who is about to

The two large stages within the Austin Convention Center are not the best ones at SXSW – although they looked much better than in previous years – yet they offer surprise opportunities to see interesting artists. When I walked past the “International Day Stage” and heard Elle Graham aka Woodes playing, I
