Elvira - 2 Big Pumpkins

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM OOBERUS OBLIVIOUS!!!
In honor of the best holiday, I present my idol Elvira with her big hit single "2 Big Pumpkins"!  The video is new but this song was actually released last year with the awesome b-side "13 Nights of Halloween"!  You can still buy copies of the 7" here... BUY ME!

Lia Pamina - How Come I

Anything produced by Roger Gunnarsson is always worth a listen and Lia Pamina is no different!!  Dancey euro beats with sweet & sublime vocals = pure pop love!!  Her "How Come I" EP was released in September and I must have its green vinyl loveliness!!

Belle Ghoul is a US band on the Elefant roster.  Their new album "Rabbit's Moon & Doomsday" comes out next week!!

Kiesza - No Enemiesz

How naked must Kiesza get to provide herself with enough back-up dancers for her awesome pop jam???  The answer below...

Parallels - Technicolor

Today was the first time I'd heard Parallels, a lovely synth-rock band hailing from Toronto.  This is only song they've released this year, but rumor has it they're hard at work on their third album!!

Oh Land - Head Up High

Pop at its finest!!  Much to my surprise since it's only been a year since the great "Wish Bone", Oh Land has a new album coming out already.  It's called "Earth Sick" and features this awesome track!!  The album is out on Nov 11!

The Dø - Despair, Hangover & Ecstasy

The Dø is bad-ass!!  This song is bad-ass!!!  Their new album "Shake Shook Shaken" is bad-ass!!  Looks like it's coming out in the States next year.  I hope they return for another tour as they were one of my year's live highlights last time they played.  Please, let us dance to this awesomeness...

Conway is an up and coming LA-based pop starlet!  She opened for The Asteroids Galaxy Tour last night and definitely impressed!!  She recently released her "Shut Up" EP!

Young Ejecta - The Planet (trailer)

Ejecta have been forced to change their name by some asshole DJ named Ejecta.   Their simple name change is Young Ejecta.  They have a new mini-album coming out in January called "The Planet"!  Obviously, this is going to be fantastic!!!

This one flew right by me.  In January, Swedish popsters Marching Band released their third album "So Much Imagine".  Based on this song, sounds like they're still making lovely indie pop gems!

Furniteur - Modern Love

NEW OBSESSION!!  Dare I say ('cause it's been so long)...inDIeVA Alert!!!

New Zealanders Yumi Zouma have released a new pop-tastic synth spectacular!!  This track is hot...HOT!!!

La Bien Querida - Poderes Extraños 1/3

It's so odd how you can find bands out of nowhere, who've been there all along, just waiting to be heard.  La Bien Querida, on the always impressive Elefant Records, appeared to me today.  I've never heard any of her tunes, but must seek out more based solely on this new track. She is releasing three maxi-singles starting this month, with the final coming in March.  I want them ALL!!

Empathy Test - Throwing Stones

Gorgeous synth pop from UK duo Empathy Test!!  They released their awesome debut EP "Losing Touch" earlier this year.  This is the title track from their upcoming EP, due out in December!

Kleerup feat. Susanne Sundfør - Let Me In (Official Music Video)

I know I just posted this song a short while ago, but whenever there is an official video I can post, I much prefer it!  This song is so great anyway, it begs to be heard again and again!!
Kleerup's mini-album "As If We Never Won" it out in a couple weeks!!

Röyksopp feat. Robyn - Monument (The Inevitable End Version)

Wow, Röyksopp are releasing their last "proper" album "The Inevitable End" this coming November.  This is the first track they shared...a revamped (and shortened) version of the very-long "Monument" from their Robyn collab EP earlier this year.  Glad they spruced it up, and definitely glad they shortened it!
