Silver Swans - How Soon Is Now?

Silver Swans have gone and covered The Smiths' classic "How Soon Is Now?"  It sounds quite different from their normal output, and I kinda dig this darker sound...

Bright Light Bright Light + Ana Matronic - West End Girls

Great bouncing cover of Pet Shop Boys' classic single!  They do it much justice and I can't wait to see the Boys' perform it AGAIN during the upcoming Electric-continuation tour this April!!!

The Presets - Goodbye Future

The Presets say they will be releasing a series of singles this year and this is the first..."Goodbye Future"!
Yes!!  I can see this fitting perfectly in their always awesome live sets!

Isaac Junkie feat Andy Bell - Breathing Love

Andy Bell has provided his beautiful voice on a track by Isaac Junkie!  This collaboration has brought on two EPs full of remixes of the below track.
All you have to do is get through the horrible "introduction" to the video to hear the quite nice track!

Snakadaktal - Fall Underneath

I just found this video by Snakadaktal and I immediately must run out and find more!  Love this song, love this video!!
They released their debut album "Sleep in the Water" in August of last year!

Nina Persson - Food for the Beast

YES! Only a couple more weeks before Nina Persson's debut solo album "Animal Heart" is released. I love both of the songs we've heard and cannot wait for the rest! Now, she needs to add more N. American dates for a full on tour!

September Girls - Heartbeats

Fuzzy guitar and ethereal female vocals?  Oh yes, I say!
September Girls released their debut album "Cursing the Sea" last week!

The Jezabels - The End

Here's some nice indie rock by The Jezabels from Sydney!  How can you not love that band name?  Always reminds me of Switchblade Sisters!  Their new album "The Brink" is coming at the end of the month.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Young Blood

For her new album, Sophie Ellis-Bextor has decided to ditch the straight-forward (and awesome) pop that she's known for in exchange for a more singer-songwritery approach.  It's ok...I guess...she's happy with it, so that's what matters!  HA!

Lacrosse - If Summer Ends

After taking some much needed blog-vacation, I'm back for 2014!!  Let's start with some Indie Pop!

Lacrosse had a few lovely songs on their 2009 album "Bandages for the Heart".  This January they are releasing their next album "Are You Thinking of Me Every Minute of Every Day".
Here's the first video from the new album and I quite love its twinkly synths!
