Clytem Scanning’s new album Armada has been out for a couple of weeks. Listening to her James-Bond-theme-esque vocals floating around experimental pop music kind of feels like listening to Sleigh Bells – not stylistically, but in a way that either you like it or you don’t. In the case of Sleigh Bells the Poule never understood what all the fuzz was actually about. Armada however has a very fetching appeal to it. Maybe because Clytem Scanning is Parisian, hence born cool or maybe because this is actually groundbreaking or maybe Poule is making absolutely no sense here.
Victoria, Canada-based bon vivant Drew Harris has released his new full-length album Adventures this weekend. Given Drew’s consistent flow of highest level output, you are already expecting to be blown away by a new release, thus paving the way to easy disappointment. And yet Germany Germany delivers again, and again, and again. Every. Single. Time.
Adventures is absolutely fantastic, the best music possible, fast and slow, changing pace, playing hide and seek with the listener. It is loaded with fast-paced dance tracks and synth pop gems as well as dreamy ambient electro tunes and even though it’s a double album, you don’t want it to end after 60 minutes runtime. Consequentially, the album starts off with the well-intentioned advice to NOT forget the warm-up! Because the ensuing hour you will find it hard to stay still and you wouldn’t want to risk a strained muscle..
Download link and a few personal words from Drew Harris on bandcamp. Physical copies are available directly through Distorted Disco Records.
Fantastic new joint by Sydney-trio RüFüS turning their buddy Elizabeth Rose’s track Stars Ago into a full blown indie dance track, epic! Comes with visuals by Federico Fellini.
