Here’s the brand new video for Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs’ current single ‘Trouble’.
TEED appears to be at some kind of slightly retro, slightly Lynchian party. I can’t tell you who directed it, but I can tell you that the headgear was made by Yunus & Eliza.
‘Trouble’ is out now.

Chicago’s kings of Indie-Electro kings Gemini Club recently released their ‘Future Tidings’ EP which you can now pick up for free on SoundCloud (or, y’know, buy it if you like supporting music).
The EP is a frantic, synth driven juggernaut. The energy levels are high in these five tracks that prove once and for all that synths can rock your ass off. Gemini Club keep it funky at all times but manage to make in-your-face, jump up Indie, funky. Mashing up synths with guitar and bass, Gemini Club boarder on ElectroPunk at times with this EP yet always produce track that would go down a storm on the dancefloor.
The ‘Future Tidings’ EP is out now.

Following on from their team up with New Order’s Peter Hook for their last single ‘Becoming The Wraith’, autoKratz had paid tribute to their collaborator by covering on of my favourite New Order tracks, ‘Temptation’.
It’s a nice update to the original. A pretty straight cover with a kicking beat added and a touch of modern production to bring the song into the 21st century. It’s hard to imagine anyone other than Bernard Sumner singing ‘Temptation’ but autoKratz’ David Cox’s vocals lend themselves really well to the track. I’m loving all the New Order connections autoKratz are pulling out in the run up to their new album, ’Self help For Beginners’, being release. If the album has this kind of vibe then it could be something special indeed.

Australian Indie-ElectroPop duo The Scientists Of Modern Music have just released the first single from their forthcoming second album.
‘Because If I Die’ is a pretty impressive way to bust onto the scene. Sitting steadfast within the Aussie ElectroPop sound, The Scientists hold their own amongst their contemporaries. The likes of Empire Of The Sun, Strange Talk, Tim & Jean, Bag Raiders, Gypsy & The Cat, Miami Horror, Midnight Juggernauts and Get Stellar have carved out a particular sound, you can tell when an ElectroPop band is Australian. There’s an Indie backing, big cosmic synths and glammy vocals and TSOMM have got that sound down pat. Slick, well produced and catchy these guys could soon rise to the top of the Aussie ElectroPop game
♫ The Scientists Of Modern Music – Because If I Die
‘Because If I Die’ is the first single from the upcoming album ‘A Personal Universe’ out this month.

It’s the third week of Baby Monster previewing tracks from their forthcoming début album!
The tracks are getting spacier and spacier, ‘Mr. Success’ sees Baby Monster rocking a Chillwave vibe, again, amongst their ElectroPop with layers of reverb soaked sounds. There’s actually quite an 80’s influence to this track you can pick out from the waves of Electro Shoegaze, the lead line is pure 80’s Pop. Really looking forward to this record!
Baby Monster’s self-titled début album is due out 27th June.

It’s team Toronto verses team Toronto as Canadian SynthPop trio Austra are given the reMix treatment by the flamboyant Mr. Diamond Rings.
The track is part two of a six-part weekly series of Diamond Rings reMixes called ‘Rainbow reMix’ in anticipation of the Astralwerks re-release of his ‘Special Affections’ album. DR takes the track and gives it a solid ElectroPop going over, with retro beats and chainsaw guitar synth, before bringing it down with a chilled piano outro.

‘Loose It’ is out now and Diamond Rings’ reMix series can be found, weekly, here.

Is Tropical’s ‘The Greeks’ get itself a video, and what a video.
Directed by Megaforce the video depicts what I expect ‘nam was like, really! Actually, I’m pretty sure playing army when I was a kid really looked like this! I get the feeling that there may be some kind of social commentary in there somewhere but I just it looks cool.
Is Tropical’s début album ‘Native To’ is released on 13th June on Kitsuné Music.
