Oh fuckyeah. Everyone’s favorite dream poppers Sameblod from Stockholm have released the first song off their debut album which will be released later this year. Maaaaaan it feels good hearing new material – just wonderful. Could be raving all day about Frederick’s insane production, Mike’s fantastic vocals and how it’s all melding beautifully into one complete aural experience. Absolutely loving it. Be fast, grab a free download on SoundCloud.

Very entertaining debut album by Britain’s outfit Young Astronaut – released for free on their website. Ten rather brilliant indie folk’ish kind of songs with the trademark UK-garage feel to it. But really, if any album has artwork like this, it may not be missing in a sophisticated iTunes library. Hey Little Ghost is the more pop’ish sort of banging opener to Fawn. The second song attached, Triumph, is more on the folk’ish end of their repertoire. Overall Fawn is a total steal, get it.

Time to pull out some local patriotism – but it’s not just that: Hamburg’s own KiRRiN iSLAND finally got around to record one of his ambient greats: Final Frontier. Soothing beats, disco house, whatever. It’s just good. Listen.

This is a song off the second Kitsuné Parisien compilation which is JUST around the corner.. SO amped! Parisian (obviously) Mathieu Lescop composes the finest 80s revival new wave, topped with french lyrics – fantastic. What more do you need?

Danish electropoppers Belle Ville found their way onto Poule d’Or’s radar very recently – thanks to avid follower Kim. Turns out the Copenhagen-based duo has a new release coming up. Their first to be precise, three beautifully produced electronic pop songs, topped with three remixes for the lead single Opium. Download remixes by Jens Lindahl and Troels Abrahamsen for free on their homepage.
If you happen to call Denmark’s capital home, you should totally rock out at their release party at Rust this Friday, the 20th. Meanwhile, the EP is available on iTunes from January 23rd.

Anyway, Brooklyn’s charming duo Tanlines prep the release of their debut album Mixed Emotions over True Panther March 20th. Completely over their first official single Brothers, which ”was the name of the studio where we started Tanlines, but I think the song is a good idea of where we are right now.”

Our favorite Paris electropop duo Total Warr released a new video for Sexual, off their last EP Please Never Come Back Again. It shows Kiki and Guigui bro’ing out at Disneyland Paris. Word on the street is, the footage was shot before they wrote their first song together..
Grab them on Poule d’Or 7 and 8.
