Yumi Zouma

It's barely been a week since I posted new-comer Yumi Zuoma's first track "The Brae", but they've already dropped the second track from their upcoming self-titled EP. With "Sålka Gets Her Hopes Up" they seem to scale down on the 80's dream-pop and give us a bit of bass groove instead. The EP is out February 11 via Cascine.

Mikky Ekko

I'm guessing everyone is familiar with Mikky Ekko's collaboration with Rihanna for "Stay"? The other day, he revealed his solo version of the track, which proves he'll do pretty well on his own, as well. Let's keep an eye on this curly-haired boy.

Austra + DIANA

The strongest track (in my opinion) off Austra's Olympia gets a remix by their labelbuddies DIANA.



I had some trouble posting the video for "Hurt me now" when it came out a week or so ago, but it seems to be up on Youtube now... so here it is, in all its wonderful crazy!

Banks + Jensen Sportag

I am obsessed with "Changes" by Banks!
This remix is, of course, nothing like the original, but still definitely worth posting here.

iamamiwhoami

iamamiwhoami are back, and this time it seems they'll be showing a side of themselves that is brighter than the one we've seen so far. More typically electro pop. Almost tropical, if you ask me. "Fountain" is the first sign of their new stuff. The video for it is some kind of nature documentary with dance moves.

Keep Shelly in Athens

"Old Time Glory" is a brand new track from Keep Shelly in Athens, produced in "homage to singer Sarah P, who announced her departure from the band this past weekend, in order to focus on her other projects." I'm curious as to what their new album - out sometime this year via Cascine (of course) - will sound like and what their former fellow band member will give out.
