Fine electronic production with a pop twist coming our way from Halifax, East Canada. AA Wallace formerly fronted the band Sleepless Nights and after they disbanded in 2011 he started writing and recording solo material moving from the garage rock genre into the realms of experimental electronic music. There is video too!
His debut album (disambiguation) will be out May 6th via Arcadian Embassy. In support of this he’ll be in the UK playing The Great Escape. Go see that man.
Denmark, land of perfection. Cozy social system, more bike than car lanes and beautiful people – everywhere! Enter: Dinner, one-eyed hipster from Copenhagen. But Anders Rhedin isn’t just easy on the eye(s). His dark voice evolving around pop soundscapes: spectacular.
Coincidentally, Dinner has a new EP coming out – tomorrow. And if you happen to be in Berlin tomorrow, celebrate the occasion with him and our friends of No Fear of Pop and Nordic by Nature.
Does Team Poule have a favorite band? Yes: Crystal Fighters. Insanely pumped for their new album Cave Rave to come out, May 27th. New songs keep trickling out, this is You & I. The lads are exceptionally spectacular live on stage, see them celebrating the release of Cave Rave in London at KOKO, May 23rd – Team Poule will go, see you there? Check their other dates too, there are loads of them: world tour.
These guys hail from the beautiful country that is Portugal – and it is in fact a Long Way To Alaska (open goal!). Then again, isn’t it always a long way to Alaska? It’s never really on your way to anywhere is it. However, these four lads already have quite a backing on their home turf and are releasing a brand new EP April 29th. Four songs, all kind of folk’ish nice. It’s the video though that instantly put a smile on our faces here at Poule HQ – way to cheer a team up guys!
Life Aquatic will be out through PAD. Do check that video too though.
Happiness in a song is this latest single by the amazing Work Drugs. Just perfect. Pure and smooth. You cannot not like this. Double negative – doing it. Why you want to run forever?
Danish wonder-label Tambourhinoceros seems to be effortlessly producing great releases. This is their latest offering: The New Spring. Flawless folkpop by Bastian Kallesøe. He released his solo debut two years ago and now the follow-up Secret Armor is about to his stores April 29th.
Secret Armor comes packed with smooth guitar-led folk songs that easily provide your soundtrack to a late night by the fire at the beach – and everything that happens after. And you know how much we love long walks on the beach (and vinyl) here at Poule HQ – so we got out hands on a sealed copy which (drumroll) YOU can win.
A vinyl recording, for the younger ones, is like a giant CD. A CD is sort of what happens when you push print in iTunes. I think. Anyway, to WIN this badboy – Secret Armor (vinyl) by The New Spring – all you have to do is write an email to grandprize (at) pouledor.com and hope for the best! It would be really wise to include a postal address in your email, and maybe some compliments (optional). The winner will be drawn (by random.org – thank you) on Wednesday April 24th, 7pm CET.
