Our Song Pick of the Day, “Stranger Body” is about adapting to internal changes and it is wrapped into a soulful track that is driven forward by decidedly acoustic beat until it culminates in a furious saxophone solo. Quebec-based singer Amelie No has been more in the rock music scene[…]
“Every Teardrop” is a beautifully fresh flashback when synth-pop was all the rage, with its crazy-cool beats and overall irresistible catchiness. Munich-based duo Aggressive Swans are onto something with “Every Teardrop” which could as easily have been created in Los Angeles, London or New York. Granted, I am especially excited[…]
Age are the London-based duo of Gavin Dwight and Jen Cosgrave who released with “Peaks” a wonderfully relaxed and melodic debut single. The song is about “people around us crossing over the line of what’s safe and not taking care of themselves”, something that happens a lot in a time[…]
Don’t judge a book by its cover or a song by its title, but “View From Blue” – got me precisely at that! Even after listening to the guitar-driven track for the umpteenth time, the beautifully warm and fuzzy feeling doesn’t get old. It’s a bit like walking into your[…]
Parisian duo Sacre does French synth pop. Clearly: Vintage-sounding synths and heavy vocal processing, all check. But it (almost) always works well together for a pleasant and rousing listening experience and “Forever Young” is no exception. Listen to our Song Pick of the Day now:

In short, the new single by Dublin-dwelling three-piece Sleep Thieves is as stunning as it is irresistible, holding the perfect balance of push and pull. Sleep Thieves[…]
We recently moved to the New York borough of Queens, so alone from that perspective “Queens” resonates with me. Of course, this is not at all what London-based singer Tawiah has in mind with her latest song, which features a piano, a Spanish guitar and polyrhythms. There is a lot[…]
“If You See Her” is ultra-gorgeous and the new single by Los Angeles-based Peter Barbee, who goes by Among Savages. “If You See Her” evolves like a great movie or a wonderful novel, with a prelude, different plot-points, a climax, lots of suspense in-between and the grand finale of course.[…]
The Australian singer/songwriter Woodes was my favorite discovery of this year’s SXSW. I saw two shows of her in not the best environments and still her performances were magical. The combination of tasteful, subtle electronics and her clear, intimate vocals invite to immerse deeply into her songs (song topics like[…]
Listening to “All the Way” by singer/songwriter and producer Leng Hock, it becomes quickly obvious that this is a sad love song, one about missed chances but also trying it against all odds. According to Leng Hock, this is also a very personal song in which the Australia-based electronic R&B[…]
