The video is directed by, and starring, performer and director Scottee, who soups up some start, striking visuals for the track.

[Audio] The Postal Service’s ‘Turn Around’

As the re-release of the almighty The Postal Service’s 2003 masterpiece album, Give Up, draws ever close, we are treated to the second of the new, or at least previously unheard, tracks that will be featured on this deluxe 10th anniversary edition.

Turn Around is a cheery and sweet slice of ElectroPop and perfectly The Postal Service. Easily one of the more optimistic songs from this duo. Rolling on a kick heavy beat and layers of blippy snyths, the electronics lifts and drops the mood along with Gibbard’s vocals. It actually feels more The Postal Service than the previously heard new track, A Tattered Line Of String, although we slightly preferred that track to this one. Also, apologies for the crappy YouTube player, we’re not sure if Sub Pop still haven’t worked out this internet thing yet, but there you go.

While you’re here check out this pretty a music video The Postal Service made with Funny Or Die, to celebrate the anniversary release, that features a host of famous musicians auditioning for Ben Gibbard’s role in the band.

The Postal Service’s tenth anniversary release of Give Up comes out 9th April.

[Video] Futurecop!’s ‘Atlantis 1997’

We have extensively covered Futurecop!’s new single, Atlantis 1997, so don’t ask us to repeat ourselves, hit those links (the cliff-notes being; it features Cavaliers Of Fun’s Ricco Vitali on vocals and a quite decent retro ElectroPop).

Here’s the video, which is equally decent. Directed by Ariel Belziti is the perfect clip for this tune, with retro iconography and slick production. And who amongst us doesn’t love floating geometric shapes? Not us!

Futurecop!’s Atlantis 1997 is released 23rd March with reMixes from Lifelike, P.A.F.F, Kill Them With Colour and Uppermost.

[Video] Foxes’ ‘Unknown’

This is the latest, well…nothing, from London singer/songwriter Foxes. It’s a demo from her forthcoming début album. It’s not a new single, the video isn’t even an actual video. But it’s all pretty amazing.

The footage was all shot on Foxes’ tour of the UK, US and Europe, and is basically her and her band mucking about to one of the best ElectroPop tracks of the year. really. This is like 2007 good.

Foxes début album is due out this year.

[Video] Dragonette’s Run Run Run

Here’s the video for rowdy Canadian Indie-ElectroPoppers Dragonette’s new single Run Run Run. It;s their latest album’s opener and sets the record up in epic style.

The clip is directed by Drew Lightfoot, and it’s nice to see Dragonette making proper videos again, although not for those that get travel sick.

[Video] Westbam & Richard Butler of The Psychedelic Furs’ ‘You Need The Drugs’

This is the video for German techno legend Westbam’s new single. featuring the vocals of Richard Butler of The Psychedelic Furs fame. You Need The Drugs is a moody and beautiful electronic soundscape, driven by metronome military beats, toped with Butler’s impassioned lament.

The video is actually part of a documentary being but together by Joerg Hoppe. Titled B-Movie, the film will portray West Berlin in the 80s using found footage from the period and our friend Mark Reeder’s point-of-view, that of a Brit living in cold war Berlin.

You Need The Drugs is taken from Westbam’s forthoming new album God’s Road, with features more collaboration with the likes of New Order’s Bernard Sumner, Hugh Cornwell of The Stranglers and Iggy Pop.
