Sea Lion - If My Baby

Sea Lion from Sweden released her debut album "Desolate Stars" a few days ago and it's beautiful.  Quiet, emotive, subtle, dreamy and one of my favorite adjectives:  lovely.

New Order - Restless

New Order is back with a new album, "Music Complete"!  It's out at the end of September and features a tantalizing little group of collaborators like Elly Jackson from La Roux, Iggy Pop, Brandon Flowers and Tom Rowlands from The Chemical Brothers!

Hi-Fashion - Mother Sister Father Brother

Unconditional love isn't always easy to come by, but I certainly unconditionally love this new track by Hi Fashion!

Charles Perry - Stranger to Love

Though released in February, I just discovered this song this week.  I immediately fell in love with the track's bouncy synth vibe and Charles Perry's vocal delivery is perfectly soulful.  This is the first single from an upcoming album.

Peaches - Close Up

Peaches is one filthy mofo and I love it!  I mean, the opponent with the doodoo!  The one with the breast milk attack!! WOW!
Her new album "Rub" comes out the last week of September!!

Tei Shi - See Me

One of this years best EPs is Tei Shi's "Verde" and this is one of its lovely tracks!

Lemonade - Dancer on the Shore

Lemonade released a new single and it features Dee Dee from Dum Dum Girls on guest vocals!  Summery pop goodness!

Computer Magic - Be Fair

This is synth pop!!!  Computer Magic is releasing her debut US LP "Davos" in October, a few days before her LA show at Club Bahia!!  Me = HAPPY!!!

Allie X - Bitch

"Bitch" is from last year but it is officially on Allie X's 2015 album "COLLXTION I", which is where I first heard it!  I'm your bitch, you're my bitch, boom boom!  YES!!

The Drums - There Is Nothing Left

FYF is today and I get to see The Drums!!  Here's the latest video for a track from their 2014 album "Encyclopedia"!  Gotta love Bigfoot's big solo dance near the end!

Young Galaxy - Body

Young Galaxy's "Ultramarine" was one of 2013's big stand-out albums.  Fantastic stuff!  They are returning with their latest album "Falsework" in late October.  "Body" is the first sampling from the album and it is such pure dance that I must shake it...now!

Vök - Waterfall / If I Was

Vök is a very nice band from Iceland, making chilly synth grooves that warm my heart & ears ever so.  Their latest EP "Circles" is excellent and features both of these tracks:

V V Brown - Shift

Seems V V Brown is dropping the Brown from her name, but it's still being used all over the place, so I'm just not sure how to address her...yet!  No matter what name she is going by, she's still making damn good music as is evidenced by the awesome new single "Shift" from her upcoming album...



You can donate to her PledgeMusic campaign here.

Brandon Flowers - Can't Deny My Love / I Can Change

I've been meaning to post this one for a LONG time but keep forgetting.  Every time either of these songs comes up on my "Best of 2015" playlist,  I remember that I MUST post these tracks!!  While I've never been a fan of The Killers or of Brandon Flowers' first solo album, I can't deny my love for his newest solo album "The Desired Effect"!!

The Legends - Keep Him

The Legends newest album "It's Love" is their most subtle to date and it's really lovely.  Finally, they've made us an equally lovely video.

Telekinesis - In a Future World

Telekinesis is releasing his 4th album "Ad infinitum" in September!  Here's the synthfully delightful first taste...

Battery Operated Orchestra - I Go Invisible

Another fantastic B-side from Battery Operated Orchestra (aka BOO)!  This time it's from their recently released maxi-single "Tin Can Telephone" which you can get here!!

CALLmeKAT - Hidden Waters

CALLmeKAT released her US debut earlier this year and here's a video from it.  The "Hidden Waters" EP was out last year in her homeland, but luckily, we're finally getting some love too!

The Leaf Library - Rings of Saturn

Here's a hazy new pop song from The Leaf Library who are releasing their debut album "Daylight Versions" at the end of October!  It's so easy for me to get lost in a track/video like this...Love!

Monogem - Wait and See

Considering I just discovered Monogem last month, I am super stoked that she has just released a new video!!  And to top everything off, she's playing a show on my birthday here in LA at SkyBar!!  Come party with Ooberus Oblivious!!
Here's the lead track from her AWESOME self-titled EP:

Shura - 2Shy

I'm very behind on this one as this single came out in April, but nonetheless, it is amazing and tucked away in my current favorite tracks of 2015 playlist!!
Dealing with an oft felt emotion of shyness, this song really hits home for me!  Shura, girl, get that album done!!  This song is taken from her "White Light" EP which came out last month.

The Dears - I Used to Pray for the Heavens to Fall (video)

The Dears' music has always packed pure emotion.  Their new video is a beautifully animated lyric video, very similar to one of my favorite (and most depressing) videos of all time "22: The Death of All the Romance".  Thanks a lot Dears, now I'm sad!  But wait, I'm happy again in the knowledge that their new album "Times Infinity Volume One" is only about a month and a half away!!

Molly Nilsson - Lovers Are Losers

Molly Nilsson is back with her new album "Zenith" which was supposed to come out in May but we are getting it in September!  Don't forget she'll be touring with Canadian poppers TOPS this fall!!  Here's the first single from Zenith....

Workin' as a Waitress in a Cocktail Bar

Hilarious is all I can say.  This has been out for a couple of weeks, but I still can't get enough...especially of the auto-tuned "COCK-COCK-COCK" part.  Yes, brilliant.

Lower Dens - Sucker's Shangri-la

Here is the beautiful opening track from Lower Dens new album "Escape From Evil".  Cannot wait to see them later this month with Empress Of!!
