I don’t know what a Yugen is but Norwegian fun machine Disaster In The Universe unleashed this Yugen a couple of days ago and it’s been in Team Poule’s heads since. What better way to spend freezing cold November nights – and knowing it’s only the beginning of winter. [tweetable hashtag=”@DISASTER_music #pouledor”]Yugen to the rescue![/tweetable] A new album coming soon too. This winter is going to be hottt!
So apparently there ARE non-financial things happening in Luxemburg! Here come Say Yes Dog – who are part German and also Luxemburger. The group plays some very fine electro pop, sort of a love child of Beat Connection and Hot Chip. Luckily they are also having an EP out December 9th and are juuuust about to embark on a great European tour, playing Hamburg tomorrow November 21st, Berlin on the 27th, Paris on December 11th and London on Dec 19th – among loads more dates.
Team Poule was fortunate enough to catch them live before: highly recommended. [tweetable hashtag=”@sayyesdog #pouledor”]These chaps are more than a tax-haven product.[/tweetable] Attached is Around My Neck of their debut A Friend that you can listen to here.
Brilliant debut song by London’s (obviously) Ulla Nova. It’s electro pop, but it also has this distinct french chanson vibe to it. While at the same time it feels kind of hiphop. [tweetable hashtag=”@UllaNova #pouledor”]Like a genre roller coaster.[/tweetable]
Smooth dreamy electronic tunes coming from Sweden’s beautiful Halmstad. AlexNacila has a warming three track EP out, perfect soundtrack for a grim November day.
Are you familiar with a game changer? An incident or event, seemingly marginal on first sight, but actually turning things upside down, changing the game? Hidden in an inconspicuous note comes this brand new single by Breton, creating chaos at Poule HQ on a Tuesday night. Their (highly anticipated) second album drops February 2014. Which surprisingly is only a few months away. [tweetable hashtag=”@bretonlabs #pouledor”]Game changer![/tweetable]
London-resident and all around sweet tooth Sinah has come out of her dreamy laboratory and dropped a new hot one onto the masses: [tweetable hashtag=”@sinahmusic #sinah #pouledor”]Just Ok is nothing but a bold understatement[/tweetable]. It’s part deep electronic layers and part sort of half-spoken hip hop vibe. It’s calm-down music. Just Ok will be out November 11 and more importantly Sinah’s new live set will be put to the test November 18th: release party at Hackney Attic. Be there, champs.
