See those two bad boys above, lounging it out like Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett? It’s Marius and Georg, more commonly known as the not-polish ensemble COMA. The two of them have been making music together for the most part of their adolescent lives. Aging like a fine wine, their warm beats and synths are of high quality and easily among the best you will be able to find. They are currently on tour, playing Amsterdam on Friday this week, and then Berlin and their shiny hometown Cologne.
Their new album This Side Of Paradise is full of glam and French Riviera spirits and came out just last month on Kompakt. The hot single Lora is attached below at your convenience.
Now, all this was reason enough for Team Poule to inquire and see what COMA are all about.
Where did it all begin?
It began in high school were we already played in an indie rock band.

Swedish Australian power duo Kate Boy have been at it for some time, and just in time for the darkest days and longest nights of the year the Kate and the Boys decided to take their talents on a larger European tour. They come packing their debut album One – which feels like a very good choice of name for the first piece of album recording in a discography. They’ll be stopping in London, Amsterdam and Cologne this week – before heading deeper into Germany for gigs in Berlin and Hamburg and ultimately playing Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen. All dates and whereabouts here.
Tuesday next week, December 8th, sees them playing their tunes in Hamburg at the prestigious new venue Häkken nestled right into the shiny Clubhaus St. Pauli complex. Häkken sports one of the finest soundsystems across the country and Kate Boy’s banging electro-pop should be a great scene to watch on that stage. Tickets for the show presented by your favorite Team Poule are still up for sale here.
Attached below is Midnight Sun, a brief description of what to expect.
If you have a thing for Irish taxi drivers the latest joint by Swedish power house Sameblod will be right up your alley. Valencia comes off their new EP Nostalgia which is streaming in full over at Soundcloud. Now, these are times in which coffee and burgers are experiencing waves of their own and you can walk up to your barista and hear about the bean and where the bean went to school. And Sameblod, being born in a time when waves where chill and floating wasn’t a socially accepted way to spend your Satuday afternoon, fill the need for purity and ingenious simplicity with both feet on the ground. If Sameblod were a city, they would probably be Valencia.

Australia – land of deadly animals and the ever sleepy Koala. And Tourist Dollars. This has to be the latest musical gem that the metropolis of Melbourne has managed to produce. It must be something in the drinking water down there or the way the air breezes across the bay because it just seems unnatural to put out this stellar amount of great music. Tourist Dollars though. They only have this song out and it’s both 50s and Dire Straits and 2016. Longing to hear more. Hit play.
Rooftops, crushed ice drinks and a sun that is burning down even late in the evening. Things that aren’t happening in November. Still, Swedish pop professors Sameblod have dropped the curtain and released a new song this week that give you a feeling of just that. Fade Out is summer glam all over and really all you could want from a pop track these days. From vast synths to the distinct Sameblod vocals – what a time to be alive.
Fade Out is attached below to your convenience and ready to be released on Stockholm label Sommarhjärta on the 3rd of December which frankly feels ages away although it is just three weeks away. Aloha!
