Weee extra lush tunes and visuals coming in from Los Angeles quartet Bolinas. Attached below is their latest and only second release Angostura, telling the story of “the most bummer day at the beach ever”, naturally a Team Poule exclusive. The track itself then evolves rather subdued around an Oakland motel, nicotine and nose bleeds, wrapped in blurry underwater shots, grey’ish skies, waves and sand and still leaves you behind with a confident eye on the horizon. What a beaut. The track is out Friday, Sept 1st, with a debut album said to be in the making. Team Poule says, let this one fly.

Jens Christiansen is a curious cat and for his solo project Rumpistol he has been driven by the search for beauty and new sounds. His new EP is entitled Drops and is set for release today, mind you, and continues his quest of almost three decades in music.

Drops then, evolves around the theme of water and puts an emphasis on the instrumental and more downtempo elements of his vast repertoire. Like the refreshing cool stream of a forest creek on a hot summer day. The track Forest Drops is attached below, reason enough for Team Poule to inquire and see what it’s all about.

Very exciting new tunes coming in from Portland. BRAUN is the working title of Ben Braun’s new solo endeavors, after Mackintosh Braun fame. Silent Science is his latest treat and comes off his debut album of the same name. A neat melange of on-point synths from the 1980s and a general dreaminess only the late 2000s managed to produce, a great companion for a sunny day under the skies, and out now on Diving Bell Recording Co. Team Poule says, so smooth.

Ever more delights coming in from Canada’s own Men I Trust. The lush indie dancers have been going at it strong for the past years and after stints all over the worlds only recently relocated to their hometown of Montreal. Which is where this track connects the dots of a happy homecoming feel and the nostalgia of leaving life abroad behind. Tailwhip is out today and attached below at your convenience. Team Poule says, so smooth.
