ALFITUDE - NEW MUSIC

First Watch: The Lines ‘No Illusions, No Cheap Tricks’

I featured this a while back and now the track’s got a video.

New Music: Said The Whale

Canadian indie pop band who already have a considerable following in North America. Check out here.

I used to love this stuff when I was at school- and sometimes I hear something like this that stands out and it makes me feel like a kid again. They were nominated for last year’s XFM New Music Award and have already headlined some sold-out shows at London’s Borderline and 100 Club. Check out here.

First Listen: Josh Kumra ‘Helicopters & Planes’

Josh Kumra is one of the most exciting kids to come out of 2012 so far for me, and his magnificent debut single Helicopters & Planes (with U.S.G member K Koke guesting) is amazing. Produced by the man of the moment Naughty Boy, it sees Josh deliver a slice of distinctly UK hip hop soul.

New Music: JMSN

Beautiful, broody dark pop. Check out here.

Paper Crows & Interactive Videos

So Paper Crows have just launched their new video in support of their new EP ‘Build’. So far so normal, bands release videos everyday and PRs send even more emails about them. To makes things a little bit different, Paper Crows have combined four videos, one for each of the tracks on the ‘Build EP’, to make one mega interactive video that will play all videos simultaneously. Check it out here- it’s really special!

First Watch: Jherek Bischoff with Zac Pennington & Soko ‘Young & Lovely’

Some flamboyant, indulgent pop for this horrible, grey Sunday.

New Music: Goldroom

Dreamy sounding pop. Check out here.

New Music: The Magic

Funky, sleek pop that sounds perfect with a bit of sun. Check out here.

New Music: Ghost Beach

Super catchy, brilliant indie pop. Check out here.

First Watch: G-Eazy ‘Marilyn’

I previously mentioned this guy before on here, this is his new music video, and it’s cool.

Para One ft Teki Latex ‘Lean On Me’

This is a bit TEED-sounding, and I think it’s a cute way to end the week with. So I hope it makes you smile, it’s a happy track.

Bananas & Beats

Those banana loving Swedes Dada Life have come up with another big tune.

New Music: Last Dinosaurs

Indie pop from Australia. Check out here.

New Music: Amish 82

Good new Norwegian electropop. Check out here.

New Music: Trust

I can’t stop listening to this; it seems like pop’s new direction. It pulls on your heart strings and makes you shuffle your feet at the same time. Check out here.

I haven’t blogged about any J-Pop for a while…

… so here’s some Perfume. I really should start doing some more JPop and KPop stuff. I just don’t have the time. Anyone want to take the role on?

New Music: Synthcake

I haven’t heard anything like this before, so I don’t really know how to describe it. I guess it’s playful and indulgent pop. Actually, it sounds a bit like some album tracks from early Jamiroquai records. Check out here.

First Watch: Ruby Goe ‘Badman’

I can’t get enough of Ruby Goe- single by single she seems to be getting better and better. This is the video for new single, ‘Badman’. Sexy.

First Watch: Bonde do Rolê ‘Kilo’

New single from Bonde do Rolê’s upcoming second album, produced by Diplo.
