Music - New Music

New Music: Paper Crows

Saw these guys on the Guardian today and the reminded me a bit of 90’s trip hop but more current. There’s a lot of atmosphere in their songs. Check out here.

An all singing, dancing android robot thing with freaky hands

This is a little scary, but I want to dance with it. She’s called the Yamaha HRP-4C, or ‘Girlbot’. Shame this thing obviously cost millions to build and they lumber it with a couple of massive plastic hands stolen off a mannequin from Primark…

Shayne Ward’s new single is OK

I don’t know if I should admit, but I brought Shayne Ward’s first album after he won X Factor a few years ago. This is his new single, I like it. Good pop.

New Music: Jared Lee

I love this guy’s music. His new single, ‘It’s Over (Goodbye)’ is really really good. Simple pop/rock with a little American soul. Check out here.

Ben (Tattoo) Saunders… rah!

Carrying on with tonight’s Dutch theme, the guy above is Ben Saunders, who is taking part in The Voice of Holland- a sort of Pop Idol where the judges can’t see who’s singing, or something like that. This dude rocks it! Amazing voice! It’s so nice seeing the judges go nuts over him, it’s the total opposite to talent shows in the UK.

New Music: Kraus

Dutch electropop, this is really good music. It’s fresh and clean and easy to bop along to. Check out here.

First Listen: Robyn ‘Indestructible’ Radio Edit

The album version on Body Talk Pt2 is probably the best song of 2010 in my view, and this is the radio version which will be Robyn’s next single in time for Christmas. Yummy!

New Music: Loomis & The Lust

This is pure, fun, well written pop rock made by some really cool guys from the USA. Loomis & The Lust have this 60’s surf SoCal vibe about them that cheers you up a little bit every time you listen. More importantly though, these guys don’t take themselves too seriously, and as a result they just kinda ooze coolness… Check out some tunes below or go to their Myspace here. Do it, they’re really good!

MP3: Loomis & The Lust – Good Time Lover

MP3: Loomis & The Lust – A.D.D

New Music: Yelle ‘La Musique’

She’s back! I think it’s a good effort.

Amazing Erik Hassle cover… by teens!

So cute and talented!

Unfortunate

I love this video way too much. I can’t really figure what he’s singing about other than he’s having a bad time with luck but I think the boxing gloves show that. Thomas Holm is amazing yea! I wish UK solo men would have this much fun with their music.

New Music: 8bit Moon

Stumbled across this lovely band on Myspace a few days ago. Hailing from the North West of England and taking influence from artists such as Afta-1, The Knife, and 8o’s synth-pop bands Yazoo and Telex, their hybrid sound fuses experimental productions with delicate vocals and nimble hooks to create seductively heady music. Check out here and give these couple of tracks a spin.

MP3: 8bit Moon – Hairy Little Boy

MP3: 8bit Moon – Russian Dolls
