The Presets - Ghosts

Here's the 2nd video from The Presets' upcoming album "Pacifica"! This is so much better than that ok first track! Yesssssss!

Chairlift - I Belong in Your Arms

JAPANESE Version!! Yesssssssssss!!! One of the best songs on Chairlift's latest album gets a super fun Japanese translation! Yayyy!! Fun video too!

Jim Noir

Jim Noir's got a new album coming out in a couple weeks and it's called "Jimmy's Show". Based off of this first track released from the album, I cannot wait to hear it! More sweet bouncy pop pop!!! Yes, please, and thank you!!

Blood Music + First Aid Kit

It's been a long time (5 yrs) since we've heard from Blood Music. I remember long long ago, probably 5 years, when I received a sweet little message from Blood Music on myspace, saying how much he enjoyed my taste in music. This video just solidifies his sweet factor! I love it!!

Ice Choir - A Vision of Hell, 1996

Here's a new video from the excellent debut album by Ice Choir, "Afar"! 80's-tastic magic synth pop love!!!

Peter Morén - Odyssen

I just couldn't end the night on a darker note.
Here's Peter Morén's (from Peter Bjorn & John) latest solo single and it is a super Swedish-language pop song! He even says "pop song" A LOT in the lyrics..."pop song" must be a Swedish word, given my favourite country's amazing ability to produce pure pop magic all the time!! Peter, please take me street dancing with your crew!!



Just another great release from Ingrid!

Susanne Sundfør - The Silicone Veil

Time to end this night of many posts with something a bit more melancholic.
Susanne Sundfør's video for the emotionally charged track, "The Silicone Veil", is visually stunning. Very beautiful stuff here. The track is taken from Susanne's third album of the same name.

Heart Machine Service

Heart Machine Service from Stockholm has just released a nice little pop song called "In an Ambulance". Definitely not the most lyrically complex, but she can shoot lasers from her mouth, so shut up!! Plus, it's damn catchy and makes me bounce!

Steed Lord

Here's some more awesome pop videos full of lovely costumes! Steed Lord, who came to LA from Iceland, are full of pop loveliness!! I imagine "Heart Me Now" will be on some new release soon! Yay!! The other two are taken from their 2nd album "Heart II Heart"!

A Nighthawk

Ingrid, I love you. A Nighthawk is another band on the superb little label. They've released one EP so far, "Until I Faltered I Wasn't Free". Both of these moody little numbers are taken from that:

Grimes - Genesis

It takes a minute to get started, but once the music kicks in, this is one awesome video from Grimes!! Especially that Anime Chola girl!! WOW!! And if you didn't already know by now, the album is totally awesome! Totally!

Puro Instinct & Rainbow Arabia - FREE - Tonight!

TONIGHT! Puro Instinct & Rainbow Arabia are playing a FREEEE show at Levitt Pavilion in MacArthur Park! Let's go!! And in case you didn't know, both of these bands released excellent debut full-lengths last year!

inDIeVA Alert - Coco Morier

Not sure how indie Coco Morier is after penning various songs by Britney Spears, but she definitely has a lot of diva to her and the awesome music she produces!
Fun fact: Coco (aka Nicole Morier) is a former member of electropop band Electrocute.
Coco's debut EP "Strangers May Kiss" is out now from super Swedish indie pop collective label Ingrid! Listen, love, dance!

Hot Chip - How Do You Do?

My favourite track from Hot Chip's awesome new album "In Our Heads" is the next single, "How Do You Do?". They've just released this rather blah video (other than the rather spectacular bagpipe / line-dancing segment):

Tilly and the Wall - Heavy Mood

Yessssssss! It has been far too long (4 years) since we've had new Tilly and the Wall! On Oct 2, they will grace us with "Heavy Mood" and a live musical tour event!! I cannot wait! Here's "Static Expression" from the new album:

Hi-Fashion - Special Delivery Love

Released just last week, here is the new single & video combination from dancey electro pop stars Hi-Fashion! I wasn't too keen on the song at first, but the more I hear it, the more I like it and the more I wanna dance dance dance!

Museum of Bellas Artes

Here's the newest lovely single from Swedish lovelies Museum of Bellas Artes! You can buy the limited 7" from their label Force Majeure!



BONUS nice pop hit from their debut EP "Days Ahead" (2010):

The Sharades - Dumb Head

I've only heard the original of this song once and that was enough. The Sharades add the much-needed punch and sassiness to this AWESOME song! One of my favourite "oldies"...now sing it with me!

Hortlax Cobra

Hortlax Cobra is one-third of Peter Bjorn and John (the John 1/3) and I am in love with this weird new video for "Viva le Difference"!!!

Pet Shop Boys - Invisible

"Invisible" is the newest single/video combo from Pet Shop Boys who will be releasing their newest album "Elysium" in September. The video is gorgeous to look at and I do hope this will be a visual theme for their next world tour!

The Smittens - Burning Streets of Rome

I'm just smitten with the new track from The Smittens! It's the first single off their newest album "Believe Me" due out on Fika Recordings later this month!

Hot Chip - Night and Day

How have I not seen this yet? Brilliant video from the brilliant new Hot Chip album "In Our Heads"!!

The Presets - Youth in Trouble

The Presets are back with a new track from their upcoming 3rd album "Pacifica". The rave-friendly track, "Youth in Trouble" is partnered with an equally rave-friendly video! While I like this, I'm hoping the album has some much more hook-laden pop masterpieces!



"Pacifica" is due out mid-September.

Misstress Barbara

"The Right Time" is Misstress Barbara's newest single. The track is taken from her newly released 2nd album "Many Shades of Grey". The video is nice and strange, the music is nice and poppy! I recommend!!

Musique le Pop

Yay! Fun pop song ditty!! Musique le Pop is from Norway! They are rather new, rather lovely and have just one single to their name, the rather catchy "Time Changes"! Let's dance!



"Time Changes" is out on Minty Fresh (ooooh Aluminum Group's old(?) label!)
