Seriously?! I was all pumped up to share this great track along with some very thoughtful and witty words but typing their name with all these hyphen hyphen hyphen just now totally ruined the vibe. Am I impulsive? Maybe. Is it because this track was playing while writing this? Possibly. Did this post turn out the way it was supposed to? Definitely not. However Naives – seriously can’t be effed with all those — are sort of a love child of We Have Band and Is Tropical and I don’t know, maybe Friendly Fires, but aren’t they in everything now these days. Either way, this song is a great song. I need a cigarette and I do not even smoke.

So, and Naives will also play some shows next month: Barcelona, Firenze, Bologna, Paris (twice) and London. Now this right there is a road trip I wouldn’t say no to. I reckon those will be some fun shows.

One of our favorites Goodbye Chanel have put together a new song and just today served it to the masses. Foreva nicely continues where the five-piece left off last year with their epic debut, a sort of tropical dream pop that tickles your plumage. Right at the sweet spot. Come on spring, we’re ready.

Eeeek – can totally get behind this tropical electronic sweetness of a song. Red hot new out of Paris. Anthems got a split EP coming up with Champions League – who just opened the 12th Poule d’Or Compilation with their banger Ebiza. Snag your free download if you haven’t. In the meantime, hit play on Up In Mine.

Such love. Such heart. Los Angeles’ Blondfire have a new song out and it’s pure bliss in these cold winter times. Young Heart is sweet and light as cotton candy. It’s the title track off their upcoming album which is equally brilliant to say the least. A bouquet of great songs that will just be stuck in your head. You hit play and you are in a good mood. Young Heart – the album – is out today, btw. Check your local iTunes store.

Also, they’ll be playing with The Sounds all across the states in March and April. Team Poule watched these chaps in Austin two years ago – it’s a party you do not want to miss out on. Check their dates.

There is this large gray area between music and noise called “experimental.” So whenever you find yourself surfing the SoundCloud and you see a song tagged “experimental” it mostly means the uploader was just playing around with some tunes on his laptop and still had some free space on his account. But this track by production duo MWMITCA out of London in Britain is not like that. It does actually feel like an experiment. It does actually feel like they are trying something new. And it does actually look like an experiment. So, at the end, it’s a 7-minute-joyride through ambient soundscapes that leaves you behind a bit breathless, happy. Definitely one to keep an eye on.
