The Good Natured’s ‘Skeleton’ video

Here we have the video for The Good Natured’s new single ‘Skeleton’. Sarah’s getting more and more mid-80’s indie by the day but keeps it wrapped-up in some catchy ElectroPop.

The Good Natured is managing to get she noir thing on, both lyrically , musically and visually without loosing any of her accessibility. Which is quite a feat.

We’re not going to use the word Goth, we’re really not…

The track is out to download 8th May, with a whole EP available 20th June.

Kimbra’s new video

This is the video for Kimbra’s forthcoming new single ‘Cameo Lover’ from her soon-to-be-released début album ‘Vows’. You may remember Kimbra as the voice of Miami Horror’s awesome ‘I Look To You’.

This new single of hers has a weird, but pleasing, Electro 60’s thing going on which is carried over into the Guy Franklin directed video.

Florrie’s new video

Here is the video for the lead track from Florrie’s new EP.

‘Begging Me’ isn’t quite as catchy as some of her previous tunes but it is a fun a slick slice of Xenomania mid-tempo Pop that I can already feel worming it’s way into my brain.

The video was directed by Price James.

‘Begging Me’ is out now.

Selebrities new video

Brooklyn New Wavers Selebrities are back with a new video for ‘Can’t Make Up My Mind’, a brilliant meeting of Disco and Shoegaze.

Taken from their forthcoming début album ‘Can’t Make Up My Mind’ gives a SynthPop flavour to a deep late 80’s Indie sound. I love how Selebrities are such a melting pot of influences, and they manage to make sometimes quite different sounds, work together perfectly.

Check the track too, it’s a great Walkman tune!

♫ Selebrities – Can’t Make Up My Mind

Selebrities’ album ‘Delusions’ is out 17th May on Cascine.

Holy Ghost!’s ‘Wait And See’ video

Holy Ghost!’s new video for their single ‘Wait And See’ stars Misters Millhiser and Frankel senior. As in Holy Ghosts! Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel’s respective fathers.

Directed by Ben Fries the video sees the Holy Ghost! elders living the NYC lifestyle, going clubbing, getting a band rehearsal down, chatting online with Classixx. I think Nick’s dad has pulled?

Toddla T’s new single

Toddla T’s new single is highly addictive. ‘Take It Back’, featuring Shola Ama and J2K, has been hammered by Annie Mac recently and kinda’ wormed it’s way into my head. It’s got smooth vocals, an infectious hook and a lush 90’s house pianos. That’s a recipe for a tune that gets in your head.

Check the video.

And give Dillon Francis’ wobble bassed reMix a spin

Toddla’s new single will be ‘Cherry Picking’ featuring the amazing Róisín Murphy, give this radio rip a sampling.

autoKratz’ new video with Peter Hook

This is the video for autoKratz’ new single ‘Becoming The Wraith’ which features, both on the track and in the video, the Bass talents of New Order/Monaco/Joy Division’s Peter Hook.

‘Becoming The Wraith’ is the most straight -up ElectroPop track autoKratz have dropped to date and Hooky’s playing just adds that Indie quality to the track. It’s pretty hard for anything with Hooky on not to sound a bit like New Order, but it is nice to see him slinging his bass low on ElectroPop tracks again rather than having a barny on Twitter with Indie tosspots.

‘Becoming The Wraith’ is defiantly the most accessible the autoKratz have ever been, and possible the best.

‘Becoming The Wraith’ is out soon on Studio !K7

Watch The Electro Wars, for one week only.

One week ending 27th April that is, soz!

It’s been doing the round of limited one-off showings for the last year, now you can finally watch the whole thing.

That’s right, you can finally see the documentary The Electro Wars, it’s streaming right now over on Pitchfork until the 27th.

It’s an cool film that, for the most part, captures a time, but feels a little dated now and features a wealth of bad, or at least debatable, information, I wish much of it had been researched a bit better. Rather than a film about the evolution of electronic dance music, as the filmaker’s claim, it really is a film about how the US mainstream discovered ElectroHouse four years ago, and the documentary is centric to that point of view. Still, it’s a fun watch that provides some good nostalgia for the parties of the time.

Neon Indian’s new album teaser

Here’s the new video by Chillwave supremo Neon Indian. It’s called ‘Heart Attack’ and it features music from his forthcoming album, the follow-up to 2009 acclaimed ‘Psychic Chasms’.

The video, which was shot in Helsinki where much of the new Neon Indian record was recorded, ‘Heat Attack’ is a teaser for the forthcoming full-length album and named after the first of a three part instrumental that will appear on it. the music is sounding pretty rad, nice 80’s grooves and loaded with chilled analog noodling.

Keep your ears to the ground for news.
