The Is Tropicals have been on Poule’s radar from their very beginning, even before Poule d’Or existed – can you imagine?! Life b.P. Anyway, big fan! Then this badboy of a new EP landed in Poule HQ: four brand new tracks, all seemingly evolving around their recent South American endeavors. The trio is busy working on their sophomore album which is supposed to come out later this year. To get their heads clean, they decided to squeeze out some of their more electronic demos and release them, backed up by a few friends, on this EP entitled Flags.
Attached is Oi Peru – the latest single produced by Visions, it comes with an interesting video too. Also don’t miss Venezuela off that EP, produced by our precious friends over at Get People > grab them on Poule 8 and 9.
Angelica’s Elegy – who we briefly touched before – have a new release coming up on Norway’s amazing Riot Factory. Clearly one of the best indie labels out there. Fuse and a Spark is off their upcoming debut album which promises to be a keeper. Stuck in my head this song.
Totally loving this track on a lazy Sunday afternoon like today’s – Is Tropical remixing fellow Londoners Ivory Seas. Pure bliss, hit play.
Lovers of a solid electropop performance: Danish awardwinning ensemble Spleen United are coming to town (Hamburg). The lads will stop at Uebel & Gefährlich on Saturday – and you can win 2×2 tickets, right here.
To throw your name in the ring, simply comment on this post using a valid email address so we can get a hold of you. As always we promise to keep your data confidential and only sell like half of it to wealthy businessmen. You’re welcome. Winners will be picked Friday 25th, 6pm CET.
Attached below is Spleen United’s Euphoria, off their new album School of Euphoria which came out last year and received a handful of Danish GAFFA awards. Team Poule already saw them at Reeperbahn Festival last fall and while they’re reasonably fun to listen to on a CD, they’re best to be consumed live. So, why not snag two free tickets and take your Significant Other to spend a memorable night in “The Bunker”..
We fell in lo-ove, right by the ocean. Ah, beautiful. Makes you think. Did you ever drive a convertible along the coastline? It’s a beautiful thing. These guys Coasts from Bristol are certainly one to keep an eye on. They’re playing a handful of shows all around Britain in the weeks ahead, go see them please.
Anyone care for some French Nu Disco..? I know you do. This is Jus de Panthère from Paris. No facebook, no twitter, no homepage. Just an old MySpace profile. Check their Soundcloud though, rad stuff up there.
