Feathers, neon lights and lush beats – Cologne-based Roosevelt has the scents of a new super star. His debut lifted him out of the underground and into the fast lane of lime light and fame. With his new release he put the foot down on his disco pedal and delivered the soundtrack to your festival summer nights as well as the dark evenings of November. Attached below is his latest video, Night Moves.
Lucky then, that Herr Roosevelt will be showcasing his talent at a handful of gigs accross Europe this month, playing Amsterdam on the 16th and Paris on the 18th – both gigs in support for Hot Chip. No Hot Chip though on his spree across Germany playing Hamburgs shiny new venue Häkken on Nov 26th, Cologne on the 27th before being off to Frankfurt on the 28th and Berlin on the 29th – four days of traveling November-Germany: what more could you ask for really! Least you can do is come out and form a proper crowd for this fella to play in front of. All infos on the wheres and when – here.
The man, the legend, Germany Germany is about to squeeze out his not eighth or ninth but tenth (sic!) album with a release date set for late November. Now, having started his business around the time Team Poule commenced this little shenanigan, it’s been truly epic to witness his project developing, growing and evolving never being finished, always on the run, trying out new things.
His tenth album is titled Willow and the gems that are already out in the public suggest that Sir Germany Germany has done it again. Carried by his stellar production, the layers of electronic and pop vibes meld together perfectly, creating a beautiful dreamy take of the electro pop spectrum. Attached below is If I Stay featuring the always lovely, always on-point Kotomi, her voice so gently matching Germany Germany’s soft and distinct works.
Willow will be out November 20th, available – along with a range of older Germany Germany releases – via Bandcamp.
Just when you thought, every tune and every harmony that can be played on guitar has been played – something fresh and new turns around the corner. Osaka though are neither Asian nor particularly Japanese but Australian. As such they naturally sport the edgy but likable attitudes. According to the information provided alongside this release, they are a bunch of 18 year olds – making them a year old when Zidane won the World Cup and a shy eleven years old when Obama won that election. Oh my.
Vessel is their first single it seems and it is grand. Though not reinventing the wheel, Vessel is half indie half rock half pop. Attached below.
Ah some real nice bliss coming in late in the week. Over Sands are allegedly based between an isolated beach house and the London railway arch – at least that’s where this piece below is said to have been recorded with a timetable on hand to capitalize on the gaps between the train that would secure a clean take. Imagine that.
Said track is New Year and naturally attached below. The second single taken off their debut EP which is self-titled, mind you, and out November 20th on B3SCI. The launch party is going down in London on the 25th, so if you are in town get behind that.
Danish dream catcher Asbjørn has been a constant on our radars. His new album Pseudo Visions has been out since March and it’s a pop kids dream come true actually. Having signed with Sinnbus recently, Asbjørn is now ready to embark on a grand European tour making a stop at good old Hamburg next week when he plays Kleiner Donner on Tuesday Nov. 3rd. Naturally Team Poule has reached out and managed to secure 2×2 tickets for the occasion who are now waiting to be yours. All you have to do is comment on this post with whatever you always wanted to tell Team Poule. The winners will be drawn on Monday Nov. 2nd – 9am straight.
Meanwhile, attached below is the latest gem from the chap: Scandinavian Love. And if you are in two mind about commenting – just know that there are fews things in life that Asbjørn enjoys more than onesies and dancing. Hit it, and find more dates here.
If there is one thing Team Poule cannot get enough of, it’s cheese. And blurry guitar riffs. One of those is being served quite perfectly by New York duo Surf Rock is Dead. The two have them hail from Melbourne and Chicago – and quite luckily decided to give their little project a public go because that EP they just put out is among the best dream pop’y tunes camp Poule has seen in a while. Reason enough to take a closer look and see what they are all about. Look and see is just right, here we go for a new photo-interview.
Attached below is Anymore – the first track of their great EP titled SRiD. There you go.
