An infectious vibe of road trip romance and the dream of freedom projected on the great plains coming in by way of Lou Z out of Copenhagen and the great Danish flatlands. Carried by luscious riffs, a driving beat and stirring visuals Fairyland Goodbye is his debut single and successfully manages to create a distinct atmosphere and longing to put some asphalt under those wheels. 3000 miles to Graceland.
The track is out now via Copenhagen’s handymen of Møs Møs and comes with a promise for more mullet-powered adventures next year.

Music critic turned musician going by the name of Zustra just released a new curve ball of a single, riding high on those Movember vibes. The Words starts off as a dark dream pop piece and develops into a full blown James Bond theme song aesthetic, a hazy fanfare of synths and dancing silhouettes.
And if you’re thinking, damn I wish I could see this being performed live and on a slightly elevated stage, you’re in luck. Zustra has scheduled one more gig for this old year, playing Berlin’s Privatclub Dec 16th, and a Sofar sounds set for January 11th of the shiny new 2019. Her latest piece is out today, and comes with striking visuals, too, filmed and edited by Christian Schneider at Haltdieklappe Filmproduktion.

Time to slip into those oven gloves because this one comes in sizzling hot from the buzztown that is Aarhus. Bear With Me‘s latest single and prelude to his upcoming debut EP is titled Such A Thing and steams out of the starting gates like a Danish stallion, inducing fire and fury, brought to you as a Team Poule exclusive.
The 4 minute jam comes carried by on-point drums and a mad sense for melody and tempo, evolving into a breezy anthem of good times to be had. The EP then, comes with a promise and warm handshake for Spring 2019, just in time for the blooming cherries, via Copenhagen’s ecstatic Møs Møs.
Madness in the streets, madness in parliament, madness in the studios. London via Sweden’s own FEWS sizzled out a new screamer of a single today, worldly named Paradiso. An infectious, mesmerizing, reverb heavy, fuzzmeister of a track, and signpost for a sophomore album titled Into Red, complete with a release date for March 1st 2019 via the infamous Play It Again Sam Records.
And not only that, the shmoozers will take their new babies on a tour across the old continent, playing Rotterdam, Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin, Paris, London, Barcelona, Madrid, and really a whole places more in March next year. Find it all nicely scheduled, here.
Britain’s very royal ensemble of Moscow Youth Cult have been on the forefront of versatile electronic music for the better part of the last decade. Last month they oligarched out a new long player going by the name of Brutalist – a mad 43 minute joy ride through 15 songs, changing pace, tone and colour every corner of the way, while staying straight on course. A fitting soundtrack to the dark evenings of November still.
Brutalist is out now, via London’s great Hello Thor Records and I Own You Records – with the 12 inch changing hands at a mere twelve pounds – and up for a streaming experience on Spotify. Attached below is the brute swinger Dream Console, a tropical gateway into the great twilight ride that is this album – comes with visuals too. They will be presenting their new machinery to the world in London at New River Studios, Friday Nov. 30.

Hold my beer, this one is on to something. The illustrious German ensemble that is Sea Moya recently emigrated to Montréal in Canada of all places, taking life by the horns. The group has a prestigious and professional history, and has just released its debut long player in Falmenta, via the great Majestic Casual.
On it, the talented trio showcases its mad handling of melodies and harmonies, a distinct sense for tempo and finding the right words at the right time. With most of the album having been written in Falmenta, nestled in Italy’s Piedmont, you can hear a natural sense for seclusion, and echoing trees and leaves right through. Truly, a wonderfully diverse piece of 12 tracks, emphasizing the concept of an album in times of streaming and shuffling.
Their latest single Purple Days is attached below, one of their slower numbers, with a pinch of electronic twists no less.
Reason enough for Team Poule to reach out, and see what the fuzz is about. The group really went the so called extra mile, with old mate Bruce packaging it all up in custom made gifs. So with no further ado, here is the photo-interview with Sea Moya. [continue reading…]
