Young Galaxy - Sleepwalk With Me

Lucky me!  I get to see Silver Swans and Young Galaxy play a show together in a couple days!
Here is Young Galaxy's most recent video which I believe is already the 4th from their excellent new album "Ultramarine"!

Silver Swans - Sea of Love

One of my most anticipated releases of the year is Silver Swans' new album "Touch"!
"Sea of Love" is the first single and here is its sexy-time video!

Band à part - Franny y tú

I am in a video!!  My cameo is at 1:46 in my grey shirt and 3D glasses watching Woog Riots!  Rocky-boo and our friend Amanda are there too!
I love this video and song a lot, and now knowing I am in the video, I love it that much more!
"Franny y tú" is the latest single released by super-cute Spanish group Band à part!

Giorgio Tuma with Laetitia Sadier - Anna, My Dear

Giorgio Tuma and Laetitia Sadier have made one of hell of a beautiful song and the accompanying video is just as beautiful!  I am completely in love!  The song is being given away FREE over at the Elefant webpage.

Solange - Lovers in the Parking Lot

I've already gotten in trouble a couple times for saying Solange is much better than her sister, but I'm sorry people, the truth hurts!  After seeing her perform at this year's FYF, it is even more apparent!
Solange's new EP "True" was produced by Blood Orange (I found this out when I was preparing yesterday's post) and this is a track from said EP.  I love it!  And I love the video!  And I love Solange!  YESOLANGE!!!

Blood Orange - Chamakay

Blood Orange released his new single "Chamakay" last week.  It's quite lovely and features the superb Caroline Polachek (from Charlift) helping out with vocal duties.

Au Revoir Simone - Crazy

This is the 2nd single from Au Revoir Simone's new album "Move in Spectrums", out this week!
The video for "Crazy is a mini-remake of the 1985 Scorcese film "After Hours".

Client - You Can Dance

It has been a long time since we've heard anything from electropop darlings Client!  They're back with a new line-up, including a new singer!  Their new album is called "Authority" and I imagine we'll see that before year's end!

Scott Matthew - I Wanna Dance with Somebody

Scott Matthew released "Unlearned" in June of this year.  So glad I picked it up in London this summer.  It is a beautiful new album of cover songs.  This is one of the best in my opinion and this video is the perfect match!

DIANA - Perpetual Surrender

I have been meaning to post about DIANA for some time now after hearing their beautiful debut album "Perpetual Surrender".  Dive in to the beauty here with the title track...

Bloodgroup - Nothing Is Written in the Stars

A nice creepy video for the Elysian Fields-esque & by far most moody track from Bloodgroup's latest, "Tracing Echoes"...

Natasha Khan & Jon Hopkins - Garden's Heart

I'm really not a fan of Jon Hopkins' solo work, but paired with the beautiful vocals of Bat for Lashes siren Natasha Khan, it all works magically.



There's also this haunting cover of Q Lazzarus' "Silence of the Lambs" hit, "Goodbye Horses" done with Hayden Thorpe from Wild Beasts.



My advice for Jon Hopkins...COLLABORATE!!!

VANESSA

I discovered Vanessa just last week.  Vanessa is amazing.  Vanessa is beautiful.  Vanessa is LOVE!  Vanessa made amazing pop music in the early 80s.  Vanessa's real name is Cornelia Witteman and she has also recorded under the name "Conny" for a 2010 jazz album!  She has very quickly become one of my favourite artists of all time.  Vanessa is POP genius!!!
Watch these videos and prepare to fall deep in love...

Lush - 500 (Shake Baby Shake)

HAPPY 500th POSTING to OOBERUS OBLIVIOUS!!!
That's the 2nd landmark number this year for my little blog.  I hope my deep love & passion of music has passed on to all who've read and I can't wait until post 1,000!!
Love.

Woman's Hour - To the End / Our Love Has No Rhythm

Gorgeous & smoooooth pop from London-based Woman's Hour.  I played these songs and fell in love immediately.

Julia Holter - This Is a True Heart

Pop gorgeousness!!  Love it!!
The track is from Julia Holter's latest album "Loud City Song".

Shadow Shadow - 1000001

Here's some nice cinematic epic synth pop out of Sweden!
Shadow Shadow released their debut album "Riviera" on Ingrid in June.

Puscifer - Bohemian Rhapsody (feat. Dina Martina)

Puscifer released an EP way early in the year called "Donkey Punch the Night" and this is the opening track.  It's a pretty straight forward cover BUT what makes it sooooooooo amazing is this amazing video featuring superstar Dina Martina!!  I have not laughed this hard at a music video in a very very very very long time.  And I really needed it!  Thank you Puscifer and Thank you Dina!

SISU - Harpoons

SISU is releasing their new album entitled "Blood Tears" next week.
"Harpoon" is a nice guitar-centric track that gently works its way into your brain through love repetition and a killer sneaky keyboard riff.

King of Spain - Basement Fires

Just found King of Spain a few moments ago and instantly fell in love with this laid back groovy pop song!  They just released their 2nd album "All I Did Was Tell Them the Truth and They Thought It Was Hell" last
month!

Arcade Fire - Reflektor

LOVE LOVE LOVING this new track & corresponding video for the new Arcade Fire track "Reflektor"!  James Murphy's hand is of course at the forefront and it sounds amazing.  I look forward to the hearing the rest of this album as this new direction is a surprising treat!  The new album comes out at the end of October.

They Might Be Giants - You're on Fire

TMBG's newest video is quite disturbing, mostly because of the singing, raw ground beef.  Being a vegetarian, I am so in love with the guitar-playing, horn-blowing broccoli!  Too cute!!

The Fashion Focus - Perfect Memory

The Fashion Focus is a delightful local band headed by friend of Ooberus Oblivious Brian Young!  His new video for the song "Perfect Memory" from his debut album "The World Outside" features none other than Ooberus-love Rockyboo playing some mean bass & synths!  Here at Ooberus Oblivious, we hope to see The Fashion Focus play live soon!  Just sayin'....

Margaret Berger - Human Race

NEW MARGARET BERGER!!  Yesssssssssss!!

Only a lyric video for now, but oh joy, this is good!

Her new album "Chastisement" is due out sometime this year!

Woog Riots - We Are Not Houston

WOW!  Love this new video from Woog Riots!  This may just be my current video of the year!  Rubber duckies, Batman, and disco necklaces/fingernails!!  What more could you ask for??  "We Are Not Houston" comes from their latest album "From Lo-Fi to Disco!"

Tim & Adam - So Much More

Gorgeous pop from Tim & Adam who released their debut self-titled album in May!  Tim is none other than Tim Yehezkely of Ooberus-favourite The Postmarks!  So lovely!!  I've missed her voice.

Jeremy Jay - Covered in Ivy

Here's a new track from silky smooth voiced Jeremy Jay!  The single was just released on K Records and precedes Jay's upcoming new album "Abandoned Apartments" due out in November!

Goldfrapp - Annabel

Beautiful, brooding video from Goldfrapp for the track "Annabel" from the upcoming album "Tales of Us".
I love videos like this; ones that tell a story, where you need to turn off all other stimuli and just absorb the emotion and message.  Very beautiful.

Still Corners - Fireflies (video)

I posted about "Fireflies" last year when Still Corners released it as a limited 7" single.  It was also one of my best songs of 2012.  The track is on their latest album "Strange Pleasures" and is still a highlight.
Here's its dreamy new video...

Hot Natured feat. Róisín Murphy - Alternate State

I don't know who Hot Natured is but they do feature Róisín Murphy on this awesome track from their new album "Different Sides of the Sun" which comes out tomorrow!!  Must look into them now!!
