Hold on to your wigs and keys – because Kirrin Island have dropped a new curve ball of a song, a remix. The equally great duo Gatwick are standing on the sidelines for this one, letting Kirrin Island 2.0 rifle the ball down field. The Sea has been remixed and reworked by what feels like a new version of Kirrin Island, the update, that with the permanent addition of Enna and her voice, has risen into new spheres of production and composition.
Speaking of spheres, Kirrin Island and their flying parade will be making a stop at Hamburg’sHäkken this Friday, sharing the stage with La Boum Fatale for a Sinnbus label night. Sounds like a proper way to start an Easter weekend. Team Poule says, get on your hind legs and don’t miss this.
Eugene Cernan, Harrison “Jack” Schmitt and Charles M. Duke Jr. Who remembers the seconds and thirds of this world? Life, from setting foot on the moon to commenting on a Youtube video, is about being first. Grabbing life by its horns then, Team Poule is proud to present a world exclusive: Hypnocoin Redux is the first track off Norwegian producer Spiny Norman‘s upcoming EP Motion Capsule – to be out on Oslo’s Sellout Music April 1st. There is something spacious and intimately magical about Spiny Norman’s music, like searching the night sky with a telescope. Team Poule says, we have a lift off.
Did you know that dolphins don’t automatically breathe but that they have to tell themselves to? Those little mermaids. Hold your breath then, flippers – and lovers of a good 80s pop vibe. Because Night Games might just have what you have been looking for on this sunny cold day. Faithless is the London duos’ latest gem and they bring a slow tingly composition and smooth vocals that might actually make you, human, lose your breath. Team Poule says, oh we are ready for those 80s night games.
A rather nice piece of music coming in from Quebec, Oh Canada. Men I Trust is operating as a four piece and when their latest track Humming Man hit the speakers at Poule headquarters it all went wooo. A perfect melding of soothing vocals, warm on-point production and a general fuzzyness that really puts the exclamation mark on this. Humming Man, then, tells the story of an old man who became suspicious and cut himself from the rest of the world, daring not to leave his home – wrapped in the most beautiful sounds (and visuals), and this lovely artwork which is also available as a rather nice tshirt print. Team Poule says, staying home is sometimes just what you need.
Pass the Courvoisier. One of Team Poule’s most beloved Parisians have stepped forward and released a new song, hoo-rah! Encore! play one of the finest electro type of musics you will find, a unique mix of straight forward beats, crystal clear strings of bass and a distinct set of vocals. This is workout music. Walk is their latest gem and if you hit play and picture yourself wandering the streets of Pigalle – you find yourself taken straight into the weekend. Team Poule says, Encore go the extra mile.
Did you know, that the Niesenbahn in the Swiss Kandertal is the longest continuous-cable funicular in Europe? Switzerland huh, they sure love a good cable funicular. Coincidentally, Kapnorth, the snowy ensemble up left, hail from just that corner of the Earth. And not only that, they just announced the release of their second album yet, mind you, titled Dematerialze. Quite charmingly, the new album will contain 10 songs and for each song a video artist has directed a video. Now and here comes the kicker: all of them added up will make a full on movie to be shown in selected cinemas September 20th! I hope your cinema will be selected. In the meantime, the album is set to be released May 1st.
