This hazy fella up there is Mr. Jon Cooper from Glasgow, up in Britain. He goes by the name of Turtle but is much less flashy and LA than the lad from HBO’s Entourage. However, listening to Who Knows he totally sounds like someone with a great album. Luckily there is an EP to be released soon and it actually IS brilliant. Keep an eye on this Turtle.
No idea who what an A.V.I.A is but I do know that Versailles Encore striked again and that these fine tunes below saved the day at Poule HQ. Encore – best band of 2013!
Did you watch this video for Jungle’s first single? Or this one for their last single? They mean business. Still gonna bring the heat. Here is Jungle‘s latest offering, Lucky I Got What I Want, as fresh as the last ones. Super excited to hear an LP from this team.
Hamburg’s notorious Audiolith label keep pushing themselves into the more pop end of the musical spectrum, always a plus in Team Poule’s books. This one is Captain Capa and they are quite literally from the middle of Germany. Where there isn’t much going on, but you can quickly get everywhere else. And they do, see this rad video for the lead single.
Their new album Foxes came out last week: electro-pop’y greatness, a late-20s coming-off-age saga. Check their tour dates, Berlin November 14th, Hamburg December 6th, and loads more.
There can only be so much good music coming out of London. However, here is another great one. Knocking Ghost, trio from West London. Emphasis West. They had an EP out last year which got them a gig at the Isle of Man Festival, so that’s nice. Here now is a new track, Soul Aspiration with some very firm synth pop. Can easily vibe to this, especially on a Friday night. Keep em coming.
You know there is this famous Hemingway quote saying, “If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.” Hitting play on Anoraak’s fantastic new album Chronotropic is exactly like pulling the trigger on that. It induces a fresh Pigalle flair, sipping cocktails in former strip clubs, casually sucking on a ciggie. Pure french vibes coming out of your speakers. Paris in September.
And that is only one way to look at it. [tweetable hashtag=”@anoraak #pouledor”]Imagine a french Ryan Gosling in Drive. This is the soundtrack.[/tweetable] Luckily the entire album is up for streaming on Hype Machine. Attached is one of the faster numbers, Morning Light. Which is a great song but not Team Poule’s total favourite, so listen to that whole album, it will make you happy and your day better. What more could you ask for.
