[NEW] “Move” by Pacific Air

Electrorock live-duo/studio-quatro Pacific Air just released a new song called “Move.”

Pacific Air has a pretty interesting history – they used to go by the name KO KO, and their song “So Strange” was actually featured in a YouTube pre-roll ad for tourism in Colorado or outdoor gear. (I can’t remember what the company was. I wish I could though because it’s actually a really beautiful ad.)

Also – when Sir Sly first started seeping into the music scene, many people thought that KO KO was behind their sound.

[NEW] “Gun” by CHVRCHES

Today, CHVRCHES released their mastered version of their latest single “Gun”:

“Gun” is one of my favorite CHVRCHES tracks, so here is a story of the start of a friendship that coincided with the end of a relationship.

[NEW]: “Waterfalls” by Mr. Little Jeans

This afternoon, Mr. Little Jeans released her cover of Paul McCartney’s “Waterfalls,” continuing the oceans theme begun with last month’s “Oh Sailor.”

Adding to Mr. Little Jeans’s list of ethereal, dreampop reduxes of songs, she continues to stand out amongst all the other dream poppers.

“Sea” by Roosevelt

“Sea” by Roosevelt is one of my favorite songs right now.

I discovered them while I was in the UK in February through the magic of the record label Greco-Roman.

Taking on the same kind of beachy sounds of bands like Surfer Blood, DIIV, and Swim Deep, Roosevelt then branches out to add in a disco-inspired bassline turning it into one of the danciest beach songs to rain down from the SoundCloud.

“Turn to Sand” by Musique Le Pop

Norwegian electropop newcomers Musique Le Pop combine soft Say Lou Lou style vocals with Charlie XCX style newtro beats to get their feet in the door of Scandinavian electro.

With only 247 Facebook fans but a haunting electro sound reminiscent of this music era’s other Scandinavian musicians such as Mr. Little Jeans of Norway, The Knife of Sweden, Mø of Denmark, Musique Le Pop is sure to start getting more indie famous.
