The spherical wunderkinder that are Berlin’s Hope produce a dark mix of percussion and synths and decisive vocals. They are beasts on stage, and have rightly earned an Anchor nomination, Reeperbahn Festival’s music award.
They are thus scheduled to play a range of shows at Reeperbahn Festival next week, Sept 19-22, with Sommersalon on Wednesday, 20h00, and Nochtspeicher on Friday, 20h00. Attached below is their latest video, Drop Your Knives, from June and off their self-titled debut album that is out now.
The good looking ensemble that is London’s Ten Fé return with a new on-point single, just in time for the September days of the year. Not Tonight is a dreamy track that neatly transports that orange sunset feeling, putting a glass of white in your hand, and rolling itself around you, like a warming blanket. Word on the street is, they are just laying final touches on a new album, due later this year.
Meanwhile, the group scheduled a mini tour for November, taking them to Islington Assembly, Nov. 13, Birmingham, Nov. 27 and Manchester Nov. 28. You have been warned.
Swedish robin and songwriter Many Voices Speak has been teasing with a debut album for some time and lo and behold, it is right around corner now. Tank Town not only comes with great aesthetics but features Matilda Mård’s finest works to date, and comes with a release date of Friday this week, Aug. 31, via the great Hit City USA and Strangers Candy.
Her latest offering Chances is attached below, and is soothingly carried by her luring voice, warm riffs and general haziness that leaves no words to be said. She is scheduled to play Servant Jazz Quarters in London, Sept. 24 if you’re in town. More dates in October, with Stockholm on the 9th, Malmö the 13th and Copenhagen the day after.
Sometimes all you need is a change of scenery, a new perspective on life and times. Mannheim’s Sea Moya figured just that and sold what they didn’t need, shipping the rest over to Montreal, finding a new home in Canada. Their debut album Falmenta then received finishing touches across the pond, too, and is now scheduled with a release date for October 12th, via Majestic Casual Records.
The group’s first teaser after string of singles is The Long Run, effortlessly showcasing their fine hand in striking a melody, stacking detailed layers and creating a rhythm that is hard to resist.
At this time in history, Elon Musk’s genius and Instagram following are under equal public scrutiny, all the while Starman continues his journey, uninterrupted, steady and lonely. Equally flawless and sovereign, pacing through the vacuum, is producer BLVTH. After much critical acclaim his newest offering comes in the form of Mars, naturally attached below. The track is further evidence of his unique sense for depth and build-up, and does not only entertain those astronomically inclined.
Some Sir David Frederick Attenborough is always a plus in Team Poule’s books, and At Dawn here by way of San Francisco really excels at matching the great naturalist’s voice with mild beats and a blue dive into the abyss.
The track Oh, Shen comes off his label Routine Espresso Recordings‘ debut compilation, dramatically titled Trying Not To Lose You, that came out last month. The whole tape is well worth a visit, and certainly not the decaf option, giving you a good kick.
