I missed the Elliphant / MØ single when it came out. I like it a lot.

This is dope. Whole ep is dope as a matter of fact. As is the new single "Levitation" which is just a few days old.

Jones song is so good. Thanks!

Right? I've probably listened to it 40 times since Wednesday.

More from the Swedish Alternative R&B pipe:
Ji Nilsson & Marlene ∞ - Love You Anywayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez7fB0paaWg

I'd heard Ji Nilsson's "Heartbreakfree," but it didn't do a lot for me. I like this a lot more.

South of the border not pop / not indie:

Denmark, reliable as usual: Saint Cava - Forget

it's weird how they keep sending the worst Eurovision entries
― death in Skegness (seandalai), Monday, 8 December 2014 23:33 (nine years ago) link
I wish I had a close personal relationship with Eurovision the way a lot of my non-US friends do. It seems like fun.

The likes of Lordi and Conchita Wurst make it seem like the largest in-joke in entertainment. Margaret Berger was a guilty pleasure nominee last year who has a good production team on her more recent singles.
There's very definitely a Copenhagen sound, with Saint Cava following in the steps of downtempo Trentemoller, Lulu Rouge, and Mike Sheridan. Nice.

^ seems like a sanpaku kind of track

warning: it does have some laryngopharynx footage in that video that may make work colleagues wonder just wtf it is you're watching
― Ottbot jr (NickB), Saturday, 20 December 2014 00:59 (nine years ago) link
Oh yes.
A kinda unique take on the the Portishead template of aged x crystalline.

definite kate-bush-in-her-quieter-moments sort of voice too

My work colleagues just assumed it was another prehensile vulva video.

phew, thank goodness for that

Australia, you guys. Last year, The Preatures scored with a nice Haim ripoff. Now, Megan Washington (fka just Washington) has hit with a ripoff of The Preatures ripping off Haim. Thievery, I'm down.

I've found her supremely annoying in the past but haven't kept up with her recent work.
FYI that preatures album is quite good.
― uxorious gazumping (monotony), Monday, 22 December 2014 04:29 (nine years ago) link
Her new album is really nice, but I've likewise not cared much about her in the past.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 22 December 2014 04:41 (nine years ago) link
Claire Brentnall does little to dispel this comparison, even visually.

kyla la grange is apparently getting dance/rhythmic airplay?

Not pop not indie in a Curve-esque sense:

Yeah, that's good stuff. Looking forward to an album.

Suspect JF has heard this, but if not it seems in his wheelhouse:

I liked a couple songs on that record, but couldn't really get with the whole thing.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 14 January 2015 05:41 (nine years ago) link
it's a great album!
― boxedjoy, Wednesday, 14 January 2015 12:46 (nine years ago) link
i know it's an old song but i was ridiculously addicted to 'all things return at night' after i listened to that album. like play-it-five-times-in-a-row addicted
― Ottbot jr (NickB), Wednesday, 14 January 2015 12:53 (nine years ago) link
'ghost' was the other song i really liked iirc
