Apparently, self proclaimed DJ, sound designer and composer, Sayem has been around for a while: producing hip-hop songs in 2007, working with the likes of Cut Copy and Cassius, making promotional music for a Nokia advert, etc. You know, the usual. So now, the Toulouse-born Paris-resident has finished his new album A City Gone Mad w/ Fever that found its way into my inbox. While you can clearly hear his hop-hop roots, on his new LP he creates a magical electro, sort of ambient soundscape, really good. Check out the opening track Scenario and Play Fight and Win below.
See him at La Machine du Moulin Rouge in Paris, December 10th.
New single by Los Angeles vagabonds SAINT MOTEL. At Least I Have Nothing “is a fucked up look at the bright side of utter despair” – quite enjoyably so. Up for pre-order at their gift shop.
Parisian songstress Mina Tindle just released her self-titled debut EP. Six sweet indie kind of folk’ish songs that have you on the tip of your toes hopping through Pigalle and Rue des Martyrs. Quite lovely, perfect soundtrack for a lazy cold November Sunday. Check the opener To Carry Many Small Things below.
Sweden’s own Urban Cone, five young lads from Stockholm, released their second single though Universal. Freak picks up right where Urban Photograph left off. Finest electronic-fused indie. Don’t leave footprints in the snowwww. Now here comes the good part: they are coming to Berlin on Friday next week to play with our good friend Summer Heart, hosted by the enchanting Nordic by Nature: you want to ATTEND that.
Grab both Summer Heart and Urban Cone on Poule d’Or 8 – gratis! (which is swedish for “for free”, obviously.)
One word: Wow.
Parisian songstress
