Sensation poppers CITIZENS! just released their banger of a second album European Soul this week – and are now packing their bags to take the bad boy across Europe for a few gigs, taking them to London Thursday this week, Paris on Saturday, Berlin on Monday next week and Hamburg on Tuesday, April 21st.
Readers of Poule d’Or are once again in luck because we managed to get our feathers on not one but TWO tickets for the show at Molotow in Hamburg waiting for one winner. All you have to do to make them yours is hit the comment section below and tell us your favorite song by the civil Brits. Extra points for throwing a facebook like our way. The winner will be picked Monday night, April 20th, 6pm sharp.
Attached below is the stellar remix by Cesare of their current single Lighten Up. Meanwhile, European Soul is still out on Kitsuné.
Copenhagen’s finest, Lisa Alma, is busy putting wheels on her upcoming second LP titled Sweater which will be out April 21st on Dumont Dumont. Meanwhile, she can’t believe how cold and refreshing the water is around this time of the year and presents the world with a second single off the new album. Fine is a featherlight pop song without being cheesy – which is something only the grand ones manage to achieve. Grand bliss.
Also, Lisa Alma will be partying hard through Germany next month. Playing Hamburg May 14th, Berlin May 15th and Cologne on the 16th. Make sure to catch the release party in Copenhagen on April 21st too.
Hardly a hot tip at this point but nevertheless one worthy of a tip. London’s super group CITIZENS! release their red hot new second album titled European Soul today – on no other label than Kitsuné. Three years after their epic debut and a prolonged world wide tour this is album is highly anticipated. And the lads do deliver to a maximum. Fourteen great tracks, within the lines of the banging single Lighten Up, attached above. Catchy, poppy, feel good summer vibes.
The European Soul will be supported by a range of European gigs as well. See the lads in London at XOYO April 16th, which is Thursday this week, Gaïté Lyrique in Paris on Saturday, Privatclub in Berlin on Monday and Hamburg’s Molotow on Tuesday. Get behind that asap.
I’m just glad we got to see each other, talk and re-meet each other, save a place in heaven ’til the next time we meet forever. No, this is not a Jay-Z rework. Nothing but moments of honesty coming in from Dear Tracks out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, by way of Sweden’s Drömljud Records though. Pure riffs and crooning vocals that give you the goose bumps and make you want to get in a car drive off into the sunset. Look out for more, this is gold.
Forever band crush Bravestation out of Toronto broke the silence and released a hot new track last week. Haven is as pure and great as they are and comes with a warm promise of an EP to be out on Culvert Music next month. It’s April and spring is just around the corner, lurking underneath every breeze of air, shadows are getting shorter again and the light gently stays a few minutes longer every day. Haven is that song.
How is this for a Poule d’Or easter egg? Norwegian sensation Hanne Kolstø is playing the new old Molotow Bar in Hamburg April 8th, which is Wednesday next week. And the Poule wouldn’t be the Poule if we hadn’t saved two tickets for our lovely readers in holiday spirits. All you need to do to win these two bad boys is comment on this post and tell us your favorite Hanne Kolstø song. The lucky winner will be picked Monday night, 8pm CET.
Attached below is her latest gem, Forever Maybe off her fourth album of the same name. Seemingly effortlessly whipping the llama’s ass. Make sure to also catch her energetic live set in Berlin April 10th, Cologne the 13th, Munich the 14th and a couple more German dates, all nicely listed here.
