Ibeyi at the Technikum, Munich

Otzeki, comprised of two cousins based in London, just released their second single after their debut of the playful Vampire Weekend-ish Cancel It All.

Song Pick of the Day: The Naked Eye - River of no Return

The Naked Eye from London goes to many different places with their first single River of no Return from their self-titled EP. There is some electronic in it, some soul, some jazz and then there is that fade-out… The Naked Eye are from London and headed by singer/songwriter Frenchie.

Looking for something uplifting? A pretty ditty that makes you chime in the chorus? Look no further but listen to FELA by Los Angeles based nvdes. With FELA, nvdes released their 3rd single in 2015 which starts right of with upbeat whistling before the baritone vocals and the dynamic bass

Song Pick of the Day: Tundran - Kimono

Listening to Kimono by Tundran, one gets very easily transported to the coolest London dance halls or New York night clubs, yet this is the latest track of the Swedish synth-pop duo Tundran. It’s just a very intriguing mix of late 70s funk, a touch of Hall and Oates

Song Pick of the Day: Keiandra - Wanted

I intended to wait for a special occasion to make Wanted our Song Pick of the Day. It’s a slow building little gem of a song and perfect for the quieter moments of the holidays. It’s also a lovely backdrop for me personally today, since I am lucky

Song Pick of the Day: Misun - Give it Up

Here’s a new song by the DC band Misun, which combines a crazy synth line, a bubbling electro bass line with some comfy acoustic guitar strumming. Give It Up is our Song Pick of the Day.

Song Pick of the Day: Fairchild - Breathless

The beginning of the song faintly evokes some of Jean-Michel Jarre’s greatest hits yet when the vocals set in, I feel remembered of a different band, one of my fav 80s favorites: Simple Minds. In essence though Breathless is a lovely contemporary single, with a lot of longing and

1st Annual Holiday Party by Audiofemme at Baby's All Right feat. Letters To Nepal // The Rungs // Marigolds // Gold Child // Mal Devisa

I’m a big fan of daytime shows: it takes away the big event component and puts the music itself front and center. That’s why I was excited to hear that our big sister blog Audiofemme puts together a holiday show at brunch time. The line-up started with two

No Words: Vir Nocturna - Core To Ground

Just want to share this track by a producer going by Vir Notcturna. Not sure what it reminds me of – maybe the soundtrack of some movie. Give it a listen:

Song Pick of the Day: Elohim - Bridge and the Wall

Listen to this song once and it’s a nice pop track. Listen to it twice or more and you don’t get it out of your head. LA band Elohim provides an upbeat and extremely catchy Song Pick of the Day.

So, you thought you can put this Monday already behind you, winding down, drinking tea… think again.

New Track: Actor - Uppercut

This is a new track Uppercut by UK band Actor. We had their last track Baby Cries as Song Pick of the Day, but now I know a little bit more about them: it is the band of Louisa Osborn, Chris Mulligan and Ste Anderson, who create intense alternative pop

Song Pick: Giungla - Cold

UPDATE: “Cold” has just been re-released Giungla is Emanuela Drei from Italy with Cold, one of the coolest tracks I’ve heard this year. Aside from her vocals, there’s just a guitar and drum machine that produces a sick, distorted beat. This is our Song Pick of the Day

Late Night: MK Grands - Rxssia

There are songs that evoke the images of a night out in the city: passing lights in a cab, late night drinks in a lounge and going home not alone. The beautifully smooth Rxssia by Australian MK Grands is such a track and I will try to collect more in

Song Pick of the Day: The Chambermaids - Tall Grass

Tall Grass is the latest song by the Minneapolis four-piece The Chambermaids. Aside from the for shoegaze typical reverb guitars, one can identify some classical instruments meant for “chamber music” in the mix, hence the band’s name. (My guess). Don’t be fooled though, our Song Pick of the

Throughout 2015, I’ve been listening to hundreds of album releases and those I particularly liked, I blogged about. My list here is a personal one, and it can only be personal when created by one person only. How could I ever be “objective”? One of my own personal rules
