Italy, country of endless coast lines. Sunny vibes and a refreshing sea breeze of beat coming in from Italian HLFMN. Seismic Love is a high speed track with traction and tempo changes that would make Enzo Ferrari blush. The track comes off his great album You’re Shifting Now, from September last year. Team Poule says, seamless.
Dark and dreamy waves of electronica washing ashore from Germany’s second city that is Hamburg. Krakow Loves Adana just released Rapture, the duo’s new vocals-driven and drum powered Chromatics’esque single that will be a great companion to long night drives spent behind the wheel. Pure. The single comes off their record Songs After The Blue which is set for release in spring. Team Poule says, right on the spot.
The legendary Von Sell returns, with a stronger voice than ever it seems. After a pounding debut and a fair share of prime media coverage, Mr. Von Sell had to undergo some treatments on his vocal chords and days turned darker – but past is past and this is new and bright and it sounds like he is here to stay. Hell No is a powerful dreamy pop gem, opened up by precise production work and carried by his unique voice. Team Poule says, that cat is in the bag.

Irish dreamer Sal Dulu has put on offer his third release. Tyko comes with lovely layers of electronic vibes, ranging from the tropical to the space age funk and plain Japanese whispering. A great auditory twilight ride through the seasons. And it’s only January! Tyko is out now, on the digital outlets of your choice. Team Poule says, right on the spot.

When life is grey and tries to get you down, lush riffs and dreamy reverb to the rescue! Canadian steamer Tropic Harbour delivers his latest single just in time then. Can’t Pretend is an ode to letting it be a thing of the past, an ode to finding a new steady state, a new peace. Heavy stuff, even for the month of January. But when it comes wrapped in slow electronica, you just can’t pretend. The track is out now on the great Noon Pacific. Team Poule says, January be like.

Danish Australian powerhouse Palace Winter has had a great 2017 and spent the better part of it working on new tunes and packaging those synths and chord lines into handy pop songs. They announced the product of which, their new album Nowadays with a delivery date for May the 4th (be with you) via the infamous Tambourhinoceros in Copenhagen.
With it comes their grand new single TakeShelter, attached below at your convenience. The track features their trademark keys and drums as well as their miles deep synth operations, opening a dark abyss of grief, confronting death and the shelters we build for ourselves, an abyss of fire and fury if you will. The good news doesn’t end there. The group will take this bad boy on a tour throughout Europe this March, with Amsterdam, Brussels, Reading, London and Manchester on the itinerary. Team Poule says, what better way to start the day.
