Johnny Fever's Not Pop Not Indie Shambhala 2015

I like that! Was Euphoria her Eurovision song? I know I've heard it, but I don't remember it at all.

That Loreen song is brilliant.

There's to be a Kaleida EP (6 Apr):

1 Think (previously released)
2 Tropea (previously released)
3 The Call
4 Ruby (new)
5 Take Me To The River
6 Aliaa

Like the Emilie Nicolas above, another track drawing dubstep sounds into art pop.

Sarah Belkner - Humans

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 Care
https://open.spotify.com/track/7sB8pSICdMj0t5ZtvcCZDc

dreamy female vocals, twinkly cascading synths, sublime melodies

St.Etienne / One Dove vibes, chilled yet euphoric ibiza aura

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.

I liked "The Brae" last year, this one is also nice, and synthier.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mec8fUE0D8U

I put the two Yumi Zouma EPs into one playlist and it made for a really good half-hour fake 90s Saint Etienne album.

new track: from Manchester's finest, Bernard & Edith

Pillars with a a downtempo chilled track

Listen: PILLARS - “Woman Without Her Love” Premiere
http://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 Above

like the tempo changes on this track, nice interplay with the female vocals, and the warped male vocoder

also heads up Jenny Abrahamson album Gemini, Gemini finally gets an international release this week. It's now on Spotify in the Uk.

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.

New Priest track ...sounds rather big for them. I think the vocals are kinda weak but otherwise it's pretty good:

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.

Aliaa from Kaleida's Think ep. They've got the openning slot for Róisín Murphy's UK tour in May.

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.

PREMIERE: Loston + Ta-ku – No Reason
http://hypetrak.com/2015/04/premiere-loston-taku-no-reason/

"sees both artists team up to combine intricate keys and soaring vocal samples and weave a colourful and vast landscape, before erupting into a crescendo of ringing floor toms and syncopated synth lines."

I'd really love to hear the rest of this Selected Works album, but it's not available on Spotify US (though the track itself is) or in any US mp3 store (and no one on slsk has it). "Miradors" is a beautiful song, though.

loving the new chromatics

The new Ariane Moffatt album is really lovely. Mostly more downbeat than the single above would suggest.

Laurel - Juglans (Feat. Yung Gud)

https://soundcloud.com/classiclaurel/juglans-feat-yung-gud

one of the best shambhala tracks of the year, hazy sensual female vocals over futuristic oriental mesmerizing zig-zag beats. this track is so addictive due to it's hypnotic nature.

not on spotify at the mo

Didn't expect it to be built around such a trappy beat, but I can get over that.

Iris's first single is posted upthread, I think. Her new one "Follow Me" is out now and, when the beat kicks in, it's reminiscent of the outro to "Thriller" with that plucky insistent guitar line that I'm predisposed to loving. A+

obscure gem found on soundcloud

Madi Larson x λjgor ~ Guidance
https://soundcloud.com/madi-larson/madi-larson-x-jgor-guidance

Madi Larson is an 18 year old from Arizona, delicate floaty chilled vocals over electronic ambient pop hypnotic grooves.

I love that winding bass.

electronic glitch-pop from a new artist, Tidelines - nice long swoosh synths on this tracks, like i'm transported to ibiza on a hot summer's night in a chill out zone. In the Uk the weather has warmed up and this track feels so right. i can see this track doing well on ILM with FKA Twigs / Kelela fans

found via the prolific new music blog, pigeons and planes

PREMIERE: TIDELINES – “SAY MY NAME”
http://pigeonsandplanes.com/2015/04/premiere-tidelines-say-my-name/

direct soundcloud link:
https://soundcloud.com/xvi-records/tidelines-say-my-name-master

"From the wilds of Southeast London, Tidelines have arrived with their debut single. They are a duo practiced in the art of spooky, skittering electronica, wrapping the listener up in a sound cocoon so silky you’re hardly aware it’s there. But the kick does come, and in “Say My Name” it bursts through in twinkling waves, the beat split open with a synth so sudden and full it forces you to listen back to the entire song with that moment in mind."

New Vanbot! "Seven"

https://soundcloud.com/vanbot/single-seven

She sounds way less like Robyn now than she did when she first showed up in 2011, to her credit. First "Trooper" and now "Seven" makes me think her new album is gonna be a stunner.

Mai Kino's Burn, in the "similar" playlist with Iris, should be of interest to Lorde fans.

Karin Park, who wrote Margaret Berger's I Feed You My Love, has a new album out.

They've come a long way from sounding like Echo & The Bunnymen Jr.
