Ólafur Arnalds - This Place Was a Shelter

Ólafur Arnalds gave us a beautiful show at the Masonic Lodge last Friday.  Love love love his music.  Such emotion, such beauty!!

Goldfrapp - Drew

I've heard good things about what Goldfrapp posts on their Instagram and based on the imagery of this video, I can now see why.  Very beautiful.  The new album "Tales of Us" comes out in early September.

White Lies - There Goes Our Love Again

I'll always remember when I first heard "Unfinished Business" and how much I loved (and still do) that song.
White Lies have a new album coming out soon called "Big TV" and this song is taken from the album.  I love the dancing in this video, especially the super cute leading lady!!

Architecture in Helsinki - In the Future

This is fun (the song, not the "video")!  Architecture in Helsinki's first output since 2011.  Nice!!

New Found Land - The Hunter

New video for "The Hunter" from New Found Land's latest album.  Sad story at the beginning, but very uplifting in the end!
They've also just released "The Hunter EP" with a few new songs, and that is available at their bandcamp.

Hi Fashion - Lighthouse

Here's the new video for "Lighthouse", the lead-off track off Hi Fashion's new EP "You Are Gorgeous"!
And just so you know, there is a song called "Pupusa" on this EP.  Yes, "Pupusa".  Please Hi Fashion, make a video for "Pupusa"!!

Röyksopp + Susanne Sundfør

I meant to share this last year when I first saw it, but for whatever reason did not.  I've recently started listening to Röyksopp's new "Late Night Tales" release and heard their cover of Depeche Mode's "Ice Machine" which is quite lovely.  So here it is, a musical marriage of pure blissfulness...Röyksopp + Susanne Sundfør x2!!!

Icky Blossoms

Icky Blossoms released their debut, self-titled album just about a year ago.  Sadly, I just discovered them over the holiday weekend.  Happily, I just discovered them over the holiday weekend.  Synth pop deliciousness!!  And ooooh, this video is crazy sexy!

Future Bible Heroes - Living, Loving, Partygoing

YES!!   Just in time for their show last night at Echoplex, Future Bible Heroes released a video for the awesome "title" track from their latest album "Partygoing"!
Awesome video!!
PS.  Their show was AWESOME!!

Janelle Monáe - Dance Apocalyptic

So far, the first two songs shared from Janelle Monáe's upcoming album "The Electric Lady" are making me very very happy and very very dancey!!

New Young Pony Club - Hard Knocks

New Young Pony Club released this new song from their upcoming album on the fourth of July!  It is available for free download too!  Thank you!!

Helen Love - Atomic

Here's Helen Love's new single, "Atomic"!  Helen Love has a new album coming out this year called "Day-Glo Dreams".  This song is super pop bounce magic!  Can't wait to see Helen Love later this month at Indietracks!!!

Silver Swans - Sea of Love

Silver Swans have just released their first song from their upcoming album "Touch" due later this year!
It is synth pop perfection, of course!

Nine Inch Nails - Came Back Haunted

I have never been much of a Nine Inch Nails fan but I must admit I am digging this new track of theirs, and especially the epilepsy-inducing, David Lynch-directed, lightning bolt featuring video!

Polly Scattergood - Wanderlust

I love Polly Scattergood's first album "Polly Scattergood" and am pleased to know she has her follow-up slated for release in September!  It's called "Arrows" and the following track, "Wanderlust", is taken from it!
YAY!
