The folk music usually isn’t served as a main course here at the Poule headquarters but there is something to Daniel Amedee’s music that is both intriguing and a bit wild. It has a uniquely real and honest feel to it, an unpretentious warmth. Something that a lot of folk doesn’t really have, at least to Team Poule’s ear. Well, Daniel Amedee has now announced the release of an all new record, going by the name of Life and with a release date set for August.
Attached above is the new video for the title track. It was shot by Meg Williams in Chico, California over course of a day and had Daniel being covered in paint for seven hours straight at some point. Him and Meg Williams met when she was making a documentary for a band on the road and when Daniel went to Chico, “she rallied a good little group and we filmed it in a day”, as he puts it. What a day, caught on tape, above. Team Poule says, seven hours in paint huh.
It’s July and it’s the time of the year that calls for extensive days and nights spent on the roof of buildings. Now, your subscription to Poule d’Or entitles you to a fully serviced musical soundtrack to such activities. Attached below, thus, you can find a hot new selection of songs and tracks that will make you all bubbly. A Soundcloud collection to serve all your roof top jacuzzi needs. On the ticket are Danish super producer My Heart The Brave, Swedish poppers Death In The Afternoon and Sameblod along side US heavy weights Work Drugs, Men I Trust and Bear Mountain.
The list also includes a whole range of shiny new names, like Yabil, Taught Abroad or trending Closely and their vast smoothness, UK duo P O L O, the ecstatic Ourselves On TV, Canadian rock band Skytone, bon vivants Pacific Waves or Danish newcomers Masasolo. And many more, it really is a twilight ride waiting to happen. Hit play, sip that Martini and let yourself glide off into that beach mode. Team Poule says, let go, there is no shame.
Time to get out those oven gloves again. This one by Danish master mind My Heart The Brave is less than half a day old at pixel time. Talk about music blogs being dead – if this isn’t timely information, what is. My Heart The Brave of course, is the moniker of Danish producer Caspar Hesselager, who manages to create a sound that is deeply familiar and yet unlike anything else out there.
His latest gem Dark Black is no exception. The way piano and electronics complement each other, then taking in the vocals, is simply breath taking. Dark Black is the second single off his upcoming debut album, eagerly awaited to be out this autumn. Team Poule says, GOAT, possibly.
Did you know that in France, it is illegal to kiss on the platform of a train station in order to avoid any train delay? And that in France it is illegal to drink alcohol at your workplace – with the exception of beer, wine, cidre and poiré? Liberté you might say. In the meantime, all around Frenchman and Parisian Fragrance has a new video out which is proudly premiered right here, on the Poule d’Or.
Fragrance produces a wonderfully light and high-flying tilt of the dreamy electronic pop music spectrum. And what better day to send this beauty with the title Lust For Lights into vast world wide webs than on June 21st, the light-richtest day of the Northern hemisphere’s year. Team Poule says, Allez Les Bleus!
Legend Jack Tatum released his third album this year, going by the lovely name of Life Of Pause on which – for the first – he didn’t play all instruments himself. By adding a drummer, saxophone player, a guitar player even, he tried to create a whole new world of sounds, full of details, structure and dimensions. Well, if you say, I wish I knew how it turned out, you will be pleased to know that Team Poule has your back as we managed to get our curly feathers on a copy of Life Of Pause, coming in the handy format of a compact disc.
And not only that, Wild Nothing is on a grand world tour at the moment, making a stop at Hamburg’s Knust next Wednesday June 22nd and under these feather are also lurking two tickets for one lucky winner. So, if you hit the comment box below and leave a word of wisdom, the tickets AND the CD will be yours. Surreal, innit? The lucky winner will be drawn June 21st at 6pm CEST sharp. As always, the Rechtsweg ist ausgeschlossen. Team Poule says, what are you waiting for?
It’s June and lovers of the bright nights will really get their monies worth on June 21st when mother nature is showing off with the longest day and the shortest night, marking the turn of the Earth’s arch and the beginning of summer.
Equally exciting is the prospect of celebrating the occasion with some human pleasures, coming in the form of alcoholic beverages and music being played live on a stage. On Friday next week, June 24th, experts in anything north of the Baltic waters, Nordic by Nature, are going to host the official Berlin Midsommar party for the fifth time. The area at Friedrichshain’s Urban Spree will be seeing the traditional floral crowns, midsommar games and the Små Grodorna as well as modern food trucks and a carefully selected group of Scandinavian musicians.
On the ticket this year are Gnučči from Sweden, Lisa Alma and Wangel from Denmark, Chain Wallet from Norway und Iceland’s Lord Pusswhip. Oh Mamma! While the two Danes should be ringingbells, the latter two might not. Attached above, thus, are Chain Wallet. Shade is their single from late last year, a perfect guitar driven dreamy pop gem with just the right amount of reverb, attached below, at your convenience. Summer, here we come, at Urban Spree. And there will be a Finnish sauna, too. Team Poule says, let’s go!
