Johnny Fever's Not Pop Not Indie Shambhala 2014

It's not my bag, but I get the appeal I guess.

just thought i would say that the kyla la grange album is really good and deserves to be talked about by a lot more people

emm gryner!

(the answer to your question, sadly, is that the sort of music she makes is covered by basically no one anymore, unfortunately, unless you're courtney barnett or whoever)

I haven't paid any attention to Little Daylight before because I just assumed they were a CHVRCHES clone (which they kind of are), but I heard this song "Mona Lisa" Saturday morning and it stayed in my head all weekend.

A lot of it is more slow and samey than I'd hoped for, but I've only listened to it three times. Need to bond with it some more. Title track is still one of my favorite songs of the year, though.

Does Total Control fit this thread?

I like it. It seems maybe a little more like it's trying to recreate an old sound than draw from it in a new way, but it does a good job.

came across that HAERTS track listening to the Classixx Artist Radio station on Spotify and immediately bought it.

I love this HAERTS track, but it's still unofficially released anywhere: https://soundcloud.com/haertsmusic/call-my-name

This is pretty good. Not a million miles from St Etienne.

The tragically named Mr. Little Jeans has won me over with this title from earlier.

Lots of overlap between the things mentioned here and the things in this:

http://open.spotify.com/user/glennpmcdonald/playlist/75TlYFXWaDllyenFkbPMNp

although that list has no "not" agenda, and so definitely has lots of pop.

Thanks! I thought I hardly listened to any music any more but 80% of that stuff is in my regular rotation so bodes well..
Including Uh huh her, Savoir adore, Frankmusik, Sound of Arrows which I haven't listened to in a while

The MS MR needs to be the chvrches remix imo

You probably need to check out the Kitten album too

Big fan of Woman's Hour from previous singles. Glad their album doesn't disappoint in the slightest.

i was listening to a spotify station in the shower last week and that Mr. Little Jeans song came on and I went "wow, this is good!" so I looked to see who it was and when I saw the name my heart sank. Good song though.

glenn / seandalai / Johnny - thanks so much for your linking your Spotify playlists on various threads, found so many amazing jams through them.

In particular Fredi Michel 'Oye Poh!' on, I think, seandalai's playlist. Absolute fun party-Goat vibes.

Better sound quality at soundcloud

Megan Washington (better known in Australia) is doing indie pop these days:

I like that one a lot.

Ninsun Poli's Breaking Rules EP is great. Here's the title track.

What the hell, this was winsome too, despite the movie tie-in:

New Haerts! Album due at the end of October, apparently.

https://soundcloud.com/haertsmusic/giving-up

Actually, upon giving this a listen, it's kind of disappointing. They've definitely got better songs and if this is how they want to introduce themselves to the public at large then they need better advisors. That said, I'm still optimistic about the album.

On the bright side, "Call My Name" is officially released now as the b-side to this single.

was thinking of plonking down $50 to see them at a festival in DC that also includes Future Islands and Tove Lo. Conflicted about it.

ha, that Bird & Bee one is nice but sounds too much like this alphabet learning tape we had for my little brother...
"we're the pixies from the wood.."

Really liking this: Kleerup + Susanne Sundfør

https://soundcloud.com/kleerup/kleerup-let-me-in-feat-susanne-sundfor/

although "“Let Me In” will be impossible to evade in the coming months as it leads a global H&M campaign which is complemented by visuals directed by the legendary Jonas Åkerlund" :(

that Hearts one sounds like 'Stop Whispering' by Radiohead

that new kleerup is really good

Fully listened to that Thomas Barfod album today while driving around running errands and "Busy Baby" required repeated listens when I got to that wicked deep bass synth in the choruses.

That Tomas Barford album is really good but it's the Nina K collaboration tracks that are outstanding.

I predict Johnny Fever will dig this:

Bertie Blackman - Run For Your Life
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qczcJqyiRQ

Yep!

I've listened to some Bertie Blackman on soundcloud before, but had never heard this track before. So great!

This is nice too: http://soundcloud.com/bertieblackman/war-of-one

An oddball from Mr. Twin Sister's s/t album, which is mostly Sade-esque dreampop.

Mr. Twin Sister - Out of the Dark

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAOvZEobgQw

Bedroom mutant r&b/pop thing from Australia. I'm not sure yet how much I like it, but I keep relistening to it when it's over.

The intro and chorus are dope. Not sure about the verse. Kinda sounds like a lo-fi Jessy Lanza or even AlunaGeorge.

I'm digging this.

I think the latest Eternal Death single is my favorite so far. Looking forward to the album now.

https://soundcloud.com/labrador-records/eternal-death-fade-1

Ooh that's good. She doesn't have my favorite voice, but I can cope.

https://deekrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/navy-blue-ep

Collabo between Bullion and Laura Groves. "Lay Back" is superb and the melodic hook of "Freedom of the Floor" reminds me of something I haven't been able to place, so I keep listening to it hoping it will jar my memory.

Oh right, the project's name is Nautic.

First release on the Test Pressing label:

http://testpressing.org/2014/09/nautic-m-p-b-test-pressing-editions/

It slipped right by me earlier this month, but there's finally an album from The Preatures called Blue Planet Eyes. Listening on Spotify right now and if you were ever a fan of "Is This How You Feel?" you'll probably be pretty happy with it.

I can't say I'm into the whole Russian Girl album, but this track from it is totally sublime. You may recognize her as one of the cadre of vocalists from Nouvelle Vague (or not).

More from the Arbutus Records hit factory that brought us Grimes. This may be the poppiest thing on the Lydia Ainsworth's debut Right From Real, which is for the most part a Glasser type affair:

My favourite recent-ish discovery: Lowell, We Loved Her Dearly
