Dreamy, hazy French shoegaze. Check out here.

New Music: Clairy Browne & the Bangin’ Rackettes
Keeping with the theme of being late with music, I’ve been a bit slow to feature this one too… It’s one massive song that’s already shaken up 282k people on YouTube and a good few million people around the world because of this advert. Bad-ass retro with some serious attitude. Love it. Check out here.
New Music: Submotion Orchestra
What happens when you mix dubstep with chilled electro and a little soul? You get Submotion Orchestra. Their new album drops later this month. Check out here.
New Music: Rebekka Karijord
This is the sort of sound that is so atmospheric and big and dark that it just leaves you breathless. Check out here.
New Music: Jara
Quirky but edgy Icelandic pop. And it’s free! Check out here.
New Music: XOV
Artist of the week. Truly epic pop with that trademark Scandinavian sound from a kid with a really heavy back-story. Check out here.
New Music: Jin Jin & The Ragdolls
Midweek blues may be banished by listening to this harmless fusion of pop, house and grime. It’s very London. Check out here.
New Music: Stevie Neale
I really wasn’t expecting to hear what I did when I clicked play on this track. It’s what I would call anti-pop. It’s obviously pop, but it touches all the elements that most pop shies away from- there’s a raw edginess about it, probably from the fact that it’s self produced. There’s also some soul coming out of that big voice, but only just in enough doses. It’s good stuff. Check out here.
New Music: Saint Saviour
Subdued, dreamy and dark but warm at the same time. Check out here.
New Music: That Kid Era
New Music: Materikaa
I’m about to use capitals to express what I think of this Swedish electropop duo- I LOVE THIS. It’s so sinister, cheeky and brilliant. This will be on rotation on my iPod for some time. Check out here.
New Music: Julian & Marina
Some nice new chilled electropop from Stockholm. Check out here.
New Music: Rapsody
This sent me down memory lane, but it’s so nice to see new talent making beautiful music from their inspirations. Check out here.
New Music: Diandra
I feel like the video to this lets down the pop brilliance of this track by Finnish Idol winner Diandra. I mean, she’s having a sleepover while singing about binge drinking over her ex… Check out here.
New Music: Nerd Revolt
Some nice dark electro. Check out here.
New Music: Findlay
Good old hard, raw rock by a 20-something girl from Manchester. Check out here.
New Music: Reset!
New Music: Elliphant
I know very, very little about this one but I’m sure we’ll be hearing a whole load more from her. It seems to be part of this emergence of dirty, industrial electro pop fronted by badass ladies coming out of Sweden of late that’s been getting a lot of followers (see Gnucci or Alina Devecerski). Check out here.
New Music: Joel Culpepper
This is a very sexy, simple but addictive soul sound. Check out here.
New Music: WooWoos
This song is called Fizzy Lettuce. I would never have thought to call a song Fizzy Lettuce but it’s interesting to say the least. I get that funny twitch that this girl group could very possibly blow up in the next year… It’s a little bit vintage Sugababes in my eyes. Good. Check out here.
