Also, the Priest song "The Game" can be added to playlist plz.
Man Without Country - Laws of Motion feat. White Sea
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYdbqdWEKz8
The vocal by Morgan Kibby (M83, White Sea) lifts this track (a 2014 single?) above anything else on the still-enjoyable new album (Maximum Entropy, 2015).

Maja Francis - Last Days of Dancing
Big, booming song in the recent Scandipop tradition.

So thankful for this thread; right now the Birthmark album (noted upthread by JF) is scratching my synthpop itch.

new Zella Day - Sacrifice
https://open.spotify.com/track/7wNJmGX7f0uBtIEghOldh5
another big bombastic track from Zella Day, added to spotify today from the soundtrack to the film Insurgent
Zella Day is often referred to as a more uptempo Lana Del Rey, and this track certainly reflects this.

That's not for me, really. Too overtly (and desperately) soundtrack-y.

Ane Brun has a new lead single off a 2015 album.
The last album was a bracing affair, despite a similarly charming lead.
― Sanpaku, Thursday, 12 March 2015 18:52 (nine years ago) link
I know nothing about Jennie Abrahamson, except that "Wolf" is shambhalatastic.
― Sanpaku, Thursday, 12 March 2015 18:56 (nine years ago) link
There's a connection, both Brun and Abrahamson have been tapped for Peter Gabriel tours (and the obligatory "Don't Give Up" duet).
― Sanpaku, Thursday, 12 March 2015 19:47 (nine years ago) link
Ane Brun has never been my bag, but there have been several Jennie Abrahamson songs over the years that I've been into.

Adna is a Swedish artist, based in Berlin. the title track of her new album, "Run, Lucifer" is a sublime icy cold art-pop track, with piano and reflective vocals.

Adna – Run, Luciferhttp://nordicbynatureberlin.com/adna-run-lucifer/
Adna, is under the radar, a few european and british based blogs have picked this up. e,g the 405 in the UK. Also Adna is being played on "Amazing Radio" in the UK, there are apps on google play and ios to listen to this excellent radio station that often plays new Shambhala type music.
The album was slated for March 20th release in Germany. However from some reason it appeared on Spotify UK on March 11th.
― djmartian, Thursday, 12 March 2015 22:15 (nine years ago) link
Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder. I saved one of her tracks on soundcloud a while back, but I forgot to check and see if the album had come out yet.

Johnny Fever, now this is a track for you, that has a Juan Maclean vibe
Evvol - Your Lovehttps://soundcloud.com/evvol/your-love-1slow start to the track, that builds with a hypnotic, pulsating groove and twisting melodies
Kool Thing are now Evvol; hear a new track ‘Your Love’http://nialler9.com/kool-thing-are-now-evvol-hear-a-new-track-your-love/
dj nialler9 just played this track on his weekly txfm radio show. Txfm is a radio station based in Dublin.
"duality in both vocals and the way in which a tense rhythm dances with a rolling bassline and glassy percussion "
New band of the week: Evvol (No 44)http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/feb/27/evvol-no-44New band of the week: Evvol (No 44)Australian-French-Irish trio based in Berlin who specialise in haunting, atmospheric trance-pop
The buzz: “Fusing textured, atmospheric guitars, ominous synths, vicious beats and layered glacier vocals” – Dazed & Confused.
the band on soundcloud describe themselves as dark synth pop
Evvol on Soundcloudhttps://soundcloud.com/evvol
nothing on Spotify yet,however as The Guardian mention:
What to buy: The single Your Love is released on 30 March by Mad Dog & Love Records, followed by the album Eternalism on 18 May.

Might not be indie enough for shambhala but I'm afraid of going on the rolling pop thread:

Better than Euphoria imo
― kriss akabusi cleaner (seandalai), Sunday, 15 March 2015 22:51 (nine years ago) link
I like that! Was Euphoria her Eurovision song? I know I've heard it, but I don't remember it at all.

That Denitia and Sene ep dropped today, and one of my favorite of their tracks from last year "Runnin'" opens it up. Happy about that. The rest of it is super great too. The most melodic stuff they've put out yet. Hoping a second album would be more in this vein if there's one coming.

lovely Shambhala type track on the Errors album released today in the UK, maybe the US release is tomorrow?
Errors - Dull Carehttps://open.spotify.com/track/7sB8pSICdMj0t5ZtvcCZDc
dreamy female vocals, twinkly cascading synths, sublime melodies
St.Etienne / One Dove vibes, chilled yet euphoric ibiza aura
― djmartian, Monday, 23 March 2015 23:17 (nine years ago) link
It's weird. I just started listening to the last Errors album for the first time yesterday and then today I discover there's a new one out. It's on Spotify.

Pillars with a a downtempo chilled track
Listen: PILLARS - “Woman Without Her Love” Premierehttp://www.thelineofbestfit.com/new-music/song-of-the-day/pillars-woman-without-her-love
Female-fronted electro-pop; the genre is bursting at the seams and we’re more than happy about it. From Emilie Nicolas’ beautifully ballsy composition to Shura’s 80s-inspired work, there’s no denying it continues to be a wonderfully thriving market. Today a West London-based newcomer puts her hand up to join the growing ranks.

Temple Invisible - dreamy electronic-pop from Romania, that once again is inspired by the Balearic Grooves of the early 90s ala One Dove. you can just imagine the sun setting in ibiza with this track. I first became aware of Temple Invisible via Amazing Radio. dreamy hazy female vocals, cascading drum patterns and swirling synths.
Temple Invisible - Everything from Abovehttps://soundcloud.com/templeinvisible/everything-from-above
track released in january
Temple Invisible is releasing their debut US/CA single "Everything From Above" on January 27th.

One would think all the "Running Up That Hill" fans on ILX would be all over "Wolf" from the Jennie Abrahamson album. On the whole its a great EP with filler but what isn't.

This is a quick, quarterly reminder that all available tracks mentioned on this thread (and a few album selections) are being posted as updated to a thread-specific Spotify playlist that I'm maintaining. I just did a quick sweep prior to posting this message and updated as of today with everything that's been added on Spotify since it was first mentioned.
That playlist is currently a bit more than three hours of music and is clickable below. Give it a spin and subscribe if you want to listen along through the year.

If you get a chance to see Karin Park, take it. I expected not-too-exciting singing+sequencers, but I wanted to see a show while I was here in Stockholm and there she was. But her drummer is her brother, and he comes out in a Slayer shirt and begins hitting things very hard, and she is at least 9 feet tall and has a keytar, and the whole thing was extremely entertaining. Good crowd response from whatever she was saying in Swedish, too.
