Semi-late on this. Tropic Of Youth are this fantastic group out of Sheffield in England and released a phenomenal five track EP titled Sun City back in April. Now that sizzling summer has arrived in most relevant parts of Europe, it even sounds better. Below is the beachy opener Poa Kichizi Kama Ndizi – perfect soundtrack to a sunny day by the sea. The entire EP is up for streaming in all its excellence here, and available through Plastic Fish Records.
Also, if you are in London and not into the World Cup – Tropic Of Youth are playing Birthdays this Saturday, June 14.
Get your oven gloves out for this one. The lovely fruit pants at Sameblod squeezed out a hot one. Suddenly is everything the two are doing to perfection. Driving synths, warm drums and oh those dreamy vocals. Makes you want to pack up everything and go fishing up North. There is something so natural about Sameblod’s music that really is unlike anything else.
Suddenly is out June 4th on Stockholm’s Sommarhjärta.
Eeeeeek – fully into this Soundcloud channel by presumably Brooklyn based producer Peter going by the name of Mundane. Attached is his latest gem. Reworking Lion Babe’s Treat Me Like Fire into a dreamy, electronic twilight ride. Pure bliss. Lose yourself.
So, summer has sort of arrived. And with it, the need to soundtrack long nights under the starry skies. Strong contender: Young Rising Sons – new outfit out of New Jersey. High is their latest single and stuckkk in Team Poule’s head.
“But let the mind beware, that though the flesh be bugged, the circumstances of existence are pretty glorious.” Vast plains, cold rocks, conifers. Berlin’s dream punk Still Parade released his new EP Fields last week and with it this beaut of a single. Reunion is as dreamy and hugging as it gets. And if you are not entirely aware of who this Still Parade is and you’re not even into reading so much, look here.
Here another mysterious group for you: Eyelid Kid. Rumors have it, they hail from Los Angeles. But we don’t know what to believe. However, speaking through their publisher, they want to emphasize that despite the Kid they are in fact a group and that the music will do the talking. For now. And that this above actually is a real octopus. So with that, hit play.
