From Sarah - Demons...

Demons is the only (but hopefully not last) track I've heard so far by Danes From Sarah; and though I do think it sounds a whole lot like Kashmir, it's still unbelievably cool.


Keeping a promise...sort of...

Wrote earlier today that I was planning to post a longer post tonight. Well tonight is now and so far I've done exactly no work (and the same amount of planning) on any post. I guess this means business as usual then; I surf around a bit...check some mails...read a few tweets...scan Facebook and who knows; maybe some time during the evening something interesting will pop up?

Stick around...unless of course you have better things to do (which I sincerely hope for you)...

This is always so embarrassing; checking out a band and thinking to myself that "this is pretty good". Then I visit the band's Facebook page only to find out that I'm already a fan of the band...ahem! Then I double check and realize that I've actually posted a song by the band some months ago...ahem (again)! Perhaps my age is finally catching up with me?

Anyway...The Wandas writes catchy 70's inspired guitar pop/rock songs...and if you haven't surfed on by now and didn't download the song the first time around, I recommend that you invest a few minutes and give them a listen!

I'll let Danish trio Black Light White Light introduce themselves, as it will take me a lifetime (or more) to come up with anything better than this; "Hazy, neo-psychedelic rock with a retro soul bringing you fuzzy and catchy pop songs with a modern Spectorish 60s sound that sucks you in like a crimson lighted sky on a summer night in a desert valley.". Glorious Bastards (which indeed is a catchy 60's sounding pop song) is from the band's debut album due later this fall. Tobias the bassist is Tobias of old blog favorites Death Valley Sleepers.

Ice cold water...

Quite busy at work today, but am planning to spend some time tonight putting together a longer post. Meanwhile enjoy yet another beauty from The Golden Ratio (and yes - I WILL post more on this band real soon).

Shorts...

Still checking mails, updates etc. Here's some of the noteworthy stuff...

The new Digits single is really cool..

And so is this new track by Fops.

She Wants Revenge shares this track from the band's 2008 EP Save Your Soul.

A new RAC remix is up.

Really need to give the new bakers at dawn album Yet a listen. Freebie track under the sea is brilliant!

Will add more...if I find more...

To come into being...

Watch new Danish/Swedish combo The Golden Ratio perform a live in the studio version of their beautiful track To Come Into Being. Promise that I'll post more (probably a lot more) on this band in the future.

Princeton...

In a comment yesterday J.A. compared LA quartet Princeton to Jens Lekman. As always I think you should listen and judge for yourself, but he's not completely wrong...is he?

Checking emails...

Time to work my way through two weeks' worth of emails. Will probably take a few days (understatement of the day).

A Classic Education shares the good news that the band will release their debut album Call It Blazing on 25 October.

Always nice finding a new Jens Lekman song in your inbox. Has yet to grow on me though!

J.A. recommends the classic shoegaze inspired and stunningly brilliant track Light Inside by My Violainé Morning.

As always there are far too many emails promoting concerts, hip-hop acts, remixes and junk in general.

To be continued (tomorrow)...

Before I go go...

The new (and at some point hopefully free to download) Before I Go Go EP by Delay Trees can now be streamed via SoundCloud (just saw that there's a download link there as well). As expected it sounds brilliant!

How does that sound...

Play People has posted this new track for streaming and as always it's a delicious sounding pop gem!

Postcards from italy...

As much as I'm missing the sun, the scenery, the food and the wine, it is (as always) great being home again...
