Phantogram is a boy-girl duo (Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel) from Saratoga Springs, New York. They fuse together organic and electronic sounds, with swirling guitar, spaced-out synths, moody vocals and chopped up samples and rhythms. The self-proclaimed “street beat” duo released their debut album ‘Eyelid Movies’ on Barsuk Records, which made them one of the new bands to watch out. We like them cause they have a mouthful of diamonds and a pocket full of secrets…

Μήνας μπαίνει, μήνας βγαίνει (καλό μήνα είπαμε;) κι εσύ ακόοομα να αποκτήσεις δίπλωμα, πηγαίνεις με οτοστόπ στη δουλειά μέσω Λαμίας (καλά να πάθεις), σέρνεσαι και σου φαίνεται και κάνεις ότι δεν συμβαίνει τίποτα (συμβαίνει κάτι;), στέλνοντας φιλιά στον αέρα. Αυτά που πιάνουν ο Jesse Kivel και η Zinzi Edmundson και τα κάνουν τραγούδια στο ρετρό σαλόνι τους, όταν δεν ακούνε με μανία παλιές ηχογραφήσεις του Alec R. Constandinos και δεν μυρίζουν σελίδες ταξιδιωτικών οδηγών. Οι δύο τους είναι οι Kisses, μας έρχονται κατευθείαν από το Los Angeles και έφτιαξαν ένα έξοχο ντεμπούτο, το ‘The Heart of the Nightlife’, που θα το λιώσεις το καλοκαίρι, πίνοντας βερμούτ στην βεράντα. Ήδη οι φαν του Jens Lekman φιλιούνται στο στόμα από χαρά. Ναι, αυτό είναι Gasolini για φίλημα!

Φτου και φεύγεις. Για Βερμούδες…Βlow kisses:

Diamond Rings is a creative outlet for Toronto based artist and musician John O’ Regan. After releasing the bedroom pop “All Yr Songs” last year, now he has a new 7” coming out on March 9th via German record label Tomlab. The A-side track “Wait & See” (the B-side is an unlikely cover of Sebodah’s “On Fire”) features distorted guitars and a catchy chorus featuring backing vocals from Toronto based indie-pop star Gentleman Reg. Diamond Rings is currently mixing his debut album, “Special Affections”. Watch the fun video for “Wait & See” and grab “All Yr Songs” below. It’s time for blue eye shadow, 80s pop and black spandex…

Τρομερή φιγούρα! Πριν βρεθεί στη Νέα Υόρκη με το ψευδώνυμο Τwin Shadow, o μυστήριος George Lewis Jr. κυνηγούσε τα φαντάσματα του David Bowie και του Lou Reed στους δρόμους του Βερολίνου. Σήμερα, κυνηγάει την σκιά του, δημιουργεί απολαυστικά synth pop κομμάτια και πλέον ανήκει στο δυναμικό του label Terrible Records (έχει πάρει τα πάνω του) του Chris Taylor των Grizzly Bear. Μια χαρά! Έχεις δύο επιλογές: Ή θα φουσκώσεις μπαλόνια (μόνο κίτρινα) ή θα φτιάξεις κάστρα στο χιόνι. Εκτός πάλι, αν είσαι too busy, κυνηγώντας τη σκιά σου…

Shitkicker – Artwork by Marc Bessant

Malachai is a duo from Bristol. They aren’t part of a scene, but they reflect the Bristol vibe these days: dubstep running through their bones, hip hop in their fingers, and ‘60s psychedelia in their hearts. It’s only right, then, that Portishead mastermind Geoff Barrow has a thumb in this project. Barrow’s a kind of a mentor for Malachai and released the album on his own Invada imprint. “There’s no Bristol ’scene’ as such but there’s a lot of people making music here so heads know to produce something unique”, says Gee. “In this industry, you’re supposed to choose your weapon and keep in your lane, but the last thing I want to do is repeat myself”. Have a listen and download the brilliant single “Fading World” below from Malachai’s debut LP “Ugly Side of Love” on April 19th.
