Gwenno - Ymbelydredd

Gwenno Saunders of the ever amazing Pipettes has her own little outfit for releasing magical pop goodness, and it's simply named Gwenno. She recently released a new EP entitled "Ymbelydredd" and it is all sung in Welsh!! I've only heard the title track (below) and even though I can't understand a word she's saying, I can't help but love the sexy synth pop being delivered to my ears! Looks like there's a song on the EP about Madonna too!!
This is her fourth solo release and it is available now from Peski!



PS. You must definitely hear the "U & I" ep (her sole release in English)!!

Oliver North Boy Choir - Sleep

There are a lot of reasons why I love Oliver North Boy Choir so much...this is a new one, their latest single, "Sleep"!

Karin Park

Electropop from the Swedish born Karin Park who now lives in Norway! Her 4th album "Highwire Poetry" was released in May.

She should have just called herself Karin DreiJR. (That snarky comment doesn't mean you shouldn't dance!)
Now dance!

Sally Shapiro - What Can I Do

She's back! Sally Shapiro's divine pop is returning with a new full-length in 2013. It's called "Somewhere Else". Our first taste of its deliciousness comes in the form of lead single "What Can I Do"...time to bedroom dance!

Pet Shop Boys - Leaving

Here is the video for the latest and needless to say GREATEST track by far off Pet Shop Boys' new album "Elysium". To me, "Leaving" completely defines perfection in a pop song. This might just be my song of the year!
To say I'm disappointed with this video would be an understatement. Luckily, this song is so amazing that I've completely forgiven the Boys.

Woog Riots - My Disco Is a Rebellious Jukebox

Here's another slice of fun synth pop from Germany's delightful Woog Riots. Their latest album "Post Bomb Chronicles" was released back in April. Why haven't I heard it yet? 'Cause I'm stupid! Now dance!!

Zeigeist - Giving You Up

I have loved this song for a very long time (approx 2007)! Why is it only today that my silly ass finds out this is a Kylie Minoque cover and there is a VIDEO!?!? AMAZING!!
Thank you to my newest musical cyber-buddy jpgaultier101 for enlightening me!



And VJ Patrick, please play Kylie's version at bowling (even though Zeigeist's version is better), because I don't think I've ever seen it played before!!

The Irrepressibles - New World

Extremely beautiful, extremely emotional. The Irrepressibles sure know how to pull those heartstrings. "New World" is taken from their upcoming album "Nude" which comes out Monday, Oct 22. I look very forward to hearing/seeing more.

Hi-Fashion - Amazing

Uh amazing, here it is, the amazing new video (feat. Raja!) for Hi-Fashion's amazing track "Amazing"!

Sky Ferreira - Everything Is Embarassing

I LOVE THIS SONG!! Sky Ferreira's new EP "Ghost" (which houses this amazing song) was released a couple weeks ago.

Holy Ghost! - It Gets Dark

Excellent new track from disco diva-boys Holy Ghost!! Let's hope they have a new album out soon because I definitely need to dance some more...

Skye - Featherlight

Woooo! New superb pop track from Skye (aka Skye Edwards, lead singer of Morcheeba)! Her third album "Back to Now" is released on Oct. 29th and this is a great indication of more great things to come from Skye!!

Klaus & Kinski - La duda ofende

My favourites from Spain are back with an epic video/short film! Klaus&Kinski released another fantastic album this year, called "Herreros y fatigas". "La duda ofende" is the opening track off the album and it is one awesome track! The actual song doesn't appear in the video until just before the 7 minute mark. If you understand Spanish, I ask you to watch the whole thing...then please tell me what the hell they're talking about. If not, just skip forward to the song and as per usual...DANCE (just like the girl in the video!)

Lydmor - Electric Mistress

Great synthpop out of Denmark from Lydmor! We just met and I love her already! Her debut album "A Pile of Empty Tapes" was released back in May. I want it, now!

Still Corners - Fireflies

Here's a gorgeous new single from Still Corners. "Fireflies" is being released as a 7" single and will be available during their upcoming European tour! How rude! I need this 7"!! Someone in Europe, go to one of their shows and get me a copy. Please!

Compute - The Distance

The lovely synth pop inDIeVA Compute (aka Ulrika Mild who plays in Liechtenstein and formerly played with Champagne Riot) released her 2nd album in May of this year. It is called "The Distance". Like a dumb-bunny, I'm just finding out about it today! Needless to say, I'm super excited and have already placed my order! Here's a video for "This Is It" taken from "The Distance"... looks like I've got a new dance routine!

Superfamily - Pay the Price

Definitely loving the bouncy pop chorus for the new Superfamily single "Pay the Price"...time to dance!

Molly Nilsson - I Hope You Die

Here's a random but very cool video from Molly Nilsson! This is my favourite track off her latest album "History". It's really hard to beat cutie puppies on treadmills! Molly has also just begun her new N. American tour! She'll be in LA on Oct 19! Yay!!!

Elephant Parade

Today I present the lovely indie pop of Elephant Parade. From Brooklyn, Elephant Parade is the lovely duo of Estelle & Ido. Estelle used to play in Brittle Stars who are so super lovely and the subject of an older Ooberus Oblivious post. Elephant Parade has two albums out, "Bedroom Recordings" (2006) and "Home" (2010). The following track is taken from their debut and it's simple beauty really gets me.




And here's some beauty from their 2nd album featuring Ido on lead vocals...

Parenthetical Girls - Curtains

I really love this latest track from Parenthetical Girls, even though I expect Berlin to pop in there singing at any given time! "Curtains" is from the 5th and final EP in the band's Privilege series. Great stuff.

The Luyas - Fifty Fifty

The Luyas are back with a new album "Animator", released next month. Looks like they've added a little vigor & pop to the first single, "Fifty Fifty". I can't wait!!

Burning Hearts - Modern Times

Here's the new video for Burning Hearts' great song "Modern Times" from their excellent latest album "Extinctions"! If you get a chance to see them live anywhere, do it! They were one of the highlights from NYC Popfest this year!

Chinawoman - Pure at Heart

As always, Chinawoman has delivered another sensual little pop ditty that I love! Her newest single is "Pure at Heart" and was released yesterday. You can buy the digital single by clicking here.

Tender Trap - Step One

If I'm ever gonna take instructions from anyone on how to form a super indie pop girl band, it's gonna be Amelia Fletcher of Tender Trap / Heavenly-fame! She does just that in "Step One", the first single from their upcoming album "Ten Songs About Girls"!

inDIeVA Alert! - de Montevert

de Montevert out of Sweden makes delicious indie electro pop! She sings in both Swedish & English. She has a debut album coming out at the end of the month and it's called "Vänner & Ovänner / Friends & Enemies". I've been waiting for it for some time!

Listen!
