The lovely smooth-fi/dreampop duo Work Drugs who recently supported Two Door Cinema Club on their US West Coast tour released a new EP on bandcamp. Their “Smooth-P” features a new song and three rad live recordings of said tour along with the remix of Rad Racer by Summer Heart: just the right soundtrack for a sunny sunday evening.

The selection process at Poule d’Or is highly superficial sometimes: good artwork and you are almost there. Now, Goldroom is the moniker of Josh Legg from Los Angeles and he provides the most fantastic artwork I’ve seen in a long time, can’t stop looking at it, so simple, so beautiful. But don’t get me wrong, the accompanying song Morgan’s Bay is quite swoon-worthy too, hit the play button and gaze away..

Parisian drum-poppers Kiki and Guigui also known as Total Warr released their second EP Please Never Come Back Again on iTunes and once again present the most brilliant and compelling tunes. The EP features the aforementioned Please Never alongside three fantastic new songs. Guigui recently explained track three Pleasure is the Death of Desire to Aol. Spinner:
“So we wrote this track on a very sunny day in Paris at Kiki’s place. We wanted people who listen to the track to feel the heat, that feeling when the sun burns your skin. We started with this idea of combining the sweetest melody and at the same time the worst lyrics ever. So we picked up hardcore album’s names like Arkangels, Kickback, Integrity and ended up with this sweet chorus lyrics: “I hope you die by overdose”
Please come back again. With more songs like these.
