Here we have the brand new video for Fenech-Soler’s forthcoming single ‘Demons’
‘Demons’ is the second single off their self-titled début album will feature the Yuksek reMix we dropped a couple of days ago.
No sure if the video’s supposed to look scary? I think it looks smokey slick, no?
Fenech-Soler release the ‘Demons’ single on 24th January, their self-titled album is out now.
So, I’ve always had a love/hate affair with the movies of David Lynch. I’m a massive Twin Peaks fan and love the films where he warps normality and makes you look at the world differently. However, he pisses me off when he just gets weird for the sake of it, like it he feels he has to live up to being ‘David Lynch’. His music, on the other hand, has always interested me.
So, why is he here on electronic rumors? He’s only gone and released an ElectroPop record hasn’t he!
If you’ve ever wanted to know what David Lynch would sound like vocodered over a machine beat and Disco chords then you’re in luck! This little slice of Indie-Electro is surprisingly good, pretty minimal, and gets boarderline 8-bit crunchy in places.
♫ David Lynch – Good Day Today
‘Good Day Today’/’I Know’ is being released by Sunday Best with an Electro album coming next year.
:kinema:, those Brightonian purveyors of funky ElectroPop are headed down the chimney with their free slice of X-mas cheer for you all.
‘3 Wolf Moon’ is their present to you this X-mas. It’s been a while since there was any new :kinema: material so it’s a well though out present indeed! The kings of British FunkPop give you something a little smooth for the holiday season. With it’s slick synths and Disco guitars ‘3 Wolf Moon’ is just the track to get a little weird to at the office party.
Check out :kinema:’s previous singles at out retailer of choice, they’d make for great X-mas pressies!
Scottish left-field ElectroPoppers Silver Columns have just re-released their single ‘Brow Beaten’ and this time it’s got itself a video.
The clip, directed by Kieran Evans is on long training montage with a twist.
‘Brow Beaten’ is out now on Moshi Moshi.
More X-mas tunes for you, this time courtesy of our favourite Bedroom Pop producer I Am Noxious.
Or is it an X-mas tune? In Mr. Noxious’ own words “It’s a X-mas song. Well it’s not really. But it’s got bells, a melancholic pop melody, naive lyrics and the word “Snowman” in the song title so basically it is… But it’s not.”
Well, it sounds X-massy to me, in that particular self-deprecating British way all the best 80’s X-Mas Pop tunes were. With it’s nice use of electro toms and arpeggios in a sleigh-bell kinda’ way and it’s optimism-in-the-face-of-adversity it seem to me to sit in the same X-mas category as Jona Lewie’s ‘Stop The Cavalry’. Or maybe, as the listener, I am just as naive as the metaphorical titular snowman, but this song makes me think of School Discos and mistletoe.
Keep an eye on I Am Noxious’ MySpace, I’m sure he has big plans for the new year!
Freezepop new album is pretty eagerly awaited here at electronic rumors, the release date has been pushed back to December now which is making the anticipation that much harder to bear.
Sensing this, the Boston based SynthPop legends are giving away another new track. Taken from the forthcoming ‘Imaginary Firends’, ‘Doppelganger’ is even better than the previous album teaser ‘Magnetic’. The song is a heady mix of new and old, one of the more 80’s Pop-esq tracks Freezepop have done ‘Doppelganger’ boarders on Dreamwave at times, but all wrapped up in Freezepop’s trademark Liz Enthusiasm narrative.
If this is what the rest of the album sounds like then it could be the best thing Freezepop have ever done, and with a back catalogue like theirs that’s really saying a lot!
Now you’ve heard it in 128kbps head on over to Freezepop’s official website and download the high quality 320kbps mp3 in exchange for your email addy , now that’s cheap!
‘Imaginary Friends’ is due to drop 7th December.

London based avant garde Indie-ElectroPoppers Clock Opera’s single ‘Once And For All’ was released this month on Kitsuné.
One of the reMixes included on the EP is this deep Lo-Fi mix be Clive Tanaka, a man so illusive that even the label know little about him. Still, everyone loves a mystery these days init! This shadowy figure brings an atmospheric, relaxed take on the track with minimal synth and guitar work creating a hypnotic vibe for Clock Opera’s emotive track to ride over.
