When Saints Go Machine

When Saints Go Machine is a weird band name. They’re from Denmark though so that’s ok. They also make very dancey electro-pop music, as is evident in their song “Kelly”. I’ve been (and still am) obsessed with Wild Beasts, and this guy’s voice kind of has similar qualities. I can also hear some Bon Iver style harmonies. All wrapped into a synth-heavy dance song. Cool! (via Stereogum)

Listen: When Saints Go Machine – Kelly

Memory Tapes

A new Memory Tapes song! And we’re not calling them chillwave anymore I guess! But “Wait in the Dark” is still chill. Don’t let that fool you. Very chill. (via Pitchfork)

Jesse Ruins

I guess Jesse Ruins is from Tokyo? That’s about all I kind of maybe know about the artist. That and this song, “Inner Ambient” is good and reminds me of M83. (via No Modest Bear)

Yuck

I saw Yuck play about a month ago and was hooked. I mean, I was pretty hooked when I heard their LP, but they brought the same energy when they played live and won me over. This is a new song, “Milkshake”, which they also played at the show. It kind of shows that they’re able to keep their same sound, but differentiate it enough to keep things fresh. (via Pretty Much Amazing)

P.S. Don’t google image search just the word yuck. Trust me.

Labyrinth Ear

I love Arthur Russel. Labyrinth Ear are a British electronic duo that kind of reworked and altered (call it remixed if you want..) the Arthur Russel song “This is how we walk on the moon” in a great way. Their own music is stuff you should listen to as well. Download their free ep! (via No Modest Bear)

Listen: Labyrinth Ear – Walk on the Moon

Youth Lagoon

The term ‘bedroom pop’ is starting to get thrown around as often as chillwave was about a year ago. Call Youth Lagoon whatever you want, as long as it’s positive. This song, “Montana”, is mellow and pleasing to the ear. Kinda low-fi, simple harmony, and very melodic. (via Pretty Much Amazing)

Guards

The Guards song “Hear You Call” debuted today on Pitchfork. It’s a jangly pop song, and it’s worth your listen. (via IGIF)

Listen: Head over to pitchfork to check it out.

Saskatchewan

A sold indie song perfect for summer. That’s this song. “Dreamboat” by Saskatchewan. Throw it on in your car, roll the windows down, and drive. (via IGIF)

Listen: Saskatchewan – Dreamboat

Bermuda Bonnie

Tags: , ,

Not sure what to make of this song by Bermuda Bonnie. It’s definitely pop. But it’s a little out there. And it’s upbeat. And fun. The song is called “Kohl’s” you can listen to it below. Great!(via No Modest Bear)

Joker

I guess dubstep is the new thing. I’m not complaining. It’s popping up everywhere and it’s good. This song by Joker is a radio rip of the instrumental of his track “The Vision”, which will be released on 4AD sometime soon. (via Pretty Much Amazing)
