Driving indie rock by London’s talent-heavy Eliza and the Bear. Second single Friends off their upcoming album. Check their impressive festival line-up through out the summer. Gonna make an appearance at Hamburg’s Reeperbahn Festival too – whaaat!
Possibly not so much under the radar this one: DIIV. Sort of a Beach Fossils offspring, but sporting a tad more stripped down sound. Definitely one of the highlights I reckon, especially on the closing Sunday, hungover, etc. Will be one not to miss. Attached is Doused off their grand debut album from last year.
DIIV are playing Intro Zelt on Sunday, 20h45.
Sick new remix by one of Team Poule’s favorites: Malouines. The Frenchman based in Ukraine’s enchanting capital Kiev shared a track for Poule d’Or compilation 11 in May (free for download – here) and now returns with another hot one. Here is his take on Pendentif’s Embrasse Moi – featuring a sexy french voice. Always a plus.
Massive fan of Swim Deep. Regular followers will agree as the lads have supported Poule d’Or since their earliest 30-facebook-fans days. Pure indie rock, straight from the heart. From the heart. It seems like they’ve been around for a while but they are still like 16 years old. Babies, practically. Look out for their debut album to drop August 5th. Attached is their latest single, She Changes The Weather.
Swim Deep are playing Gemini Stage on Saturday, 19h15.
Here is something for your lazy grooving shoes – Nutia. Red hot new EP out on Hamburg’s rising label Like Birdz. Doesn’t this sound like a hot summer night? Beach? Looking out on the water? Cool beverages? Well, lucky you. The release party will be held this Saturday at Hamburg’s infamous Kraniche Klub.
So we are right in the festival season of the year. Exciting times. Melt! is one of the biggest German festivals, opening its gates next week for the intro party on Thursday and the regular extravaganzas starting on Friday July 19th. Four days packed with good music. It really is a brilliant line-up the lads put together this year. Besides the obvious headliners there are loads of wonderful bands to be found throughout the schedule. This tips of a series of bands you should not miss.
First off, Glass Animals. Saw these chaps last fall and it was hands-down one of the top-10 gigs of the year. And Team Poule saw a fair amount of bands last year. Attached is Exxus – b-side to the Brits’ last single Black Mambo.
Glass Animals play Intro Zelt on Thursday, 20h30.
