Nothing! Really nothing! Busy at work and lacking motivation to write and post, which is quite a lethal combination. Doing my best, trying to pull my act together and hopefully things will improve. In the meantime...enjoy this fine new pop tune by Danish act The New Investors...
Scanning mails and just found this really catchy and energetic electronic pop/rock piece by US duo The New Monarchs. From the band's forthcoming sophomore album Stay Awake.
New video from blog favorites Tetris=Therapy. Not sure if I'm quite getting what the video all about (if it has any point that is), but the track Blast Off, which will be the opening track of the band's forthcoming EP The Temperance, is just brilliant. What I wrote a few years back (just checked - that was as far back as in March 2007, so a little more than a few years), when I first came across the band "The music is an unpredictable blend of just about everything" still seems to be a pretty valid description of the band's musical universe. It's not quite pop, not quite rock, not quite post-rock, not quite etc. It's simply just a whole lot of everything! So much looking forward to give the rest of the EP a listen! Unfortunately I won't be able to attend, but release party tonight at Huset in Copenhagen.
Because a few of you said so, I actually bothered and gave the new album by The Shins a few listens. No exactly impressed, but promise to invest more time in it!
The self-titled debut album by Death Valley Sleepers is now available from iTunes. Need to get myself a copy, but will have to do it from home (no iTunes at work). Quite curious to hear the end result and if it's been possible to improve the demo versions... Small Town Bells by Death Valley Sleepers
Stream new I Like Trains singleMnemosyne. Not half as sad as I expected it to be (though I'm not completely sure about the vocals) and at least twice as brilliant as I hoped it would be! From the band's forthcoming album The Shallows...
Former (still assuming that they did in fact split up) Champagne Riot frontman Caspar has posted three new demo tracks for streaming/downloading under his new alias The Undefeated. Or to be more precise, two new plus a fine re-work of the old Champagne Riot "classic" Scandinavian Warfare. Sounds great (as always) though not exactly light-years away from the "good old" sound of his old band...not that I mind this at all, as I used to be quite a fan of it!
The official video for the fantastic Easter Island by The Eclectic Moniker. A big budget video actually taking them to Easter Island would have been cool, but I'm afraid that budgets these days aren't for stuff like that...
4 more names have been added to the lineup of this year's Musik I Lejet festival...so far 7 acts have been announced and I'm totally amazed...my best guess is that the lineup will consist of close to 20 bands/artists, so still plenty of room for adding a few more interesting names...if you missed my first post, the festival will take place on 20-22 July
All words in this blog are written by me. It’s a blog about music. A music blog! About music that I like and artists I care for. Things have to be relevant to me. Not necessarily to anyone else. I’m Danish. I live in Denmark. I write at a lot about Danish music. And a lot about foreign music as well. Artists and labels not afraid of sharing music are the coolest. In the past I’ve been getting invaluable recommendations from José Antonio (J.A.) and Rodolfo; and still do! Big thanks to Steven of Letters Have No Arms! for designing the previous banner! Thanks to Ryan of Rikers for creating the current one! Songs for download are sometimes uploaded by me. But only when I have received permission from the artists/labels OR the songs are legally available for free elsewhere.
