I’m late, it’s not monday it’s wednesday and since we’re on the subject of passing time, how about a new(ish) song from an old band ? A Certain Ratio is a band that formed in 1977 in Manchester and in 2020, they released a new album after 12 years. Funny how time flies right ?

The debut album of TR/ST is a good summer album, you can practically smell the dancefloor sweat emanating from these synthetizers. This song in particular is an electronic nihilistic anthem and it sure has a slippery edge to it. Sorry for the bad words.

Fever the Ghost’s first (and only) full-length album from 2015 is just full of psych-pop gems and has a distinct haunting quality to it that is hard to find elsewhere. This song in particular feels like a ride in a ghost train, believe me, it starts with a weird harpsichord melody.
/
Quite a fun concept for this week because this song is actuallly a mash up, a medley if you will, of two songs. Both songs (great on their own) “Ghost” and “Summer” are from Marsheaux, a very cool electro synth-pop duo drawing inspiration from 80’s new wave.

This week we’re leaving behind summer indie pop tracks to take a dramatic break with this 1985 John Cale song that feels like it’s from an opera. It could also play in the background of an intense introspection scene in a movie with the main character on the beach or something…See, it’s still summer !

Summer is creeping upon us, and here’s a song that I would never listen to in the cold months. A cool surf indie pop/rock song that you could listen to on the beach or in the car, especially if you have nowhere to go.

Get Well Soon is a band (well not really a band, it’s a solo project by Konstantin Gropper but the live musicians are great) which is comforting, edgy and playful at the same time. This is a song from their first album, it’s scary and sexy and the music video is like a mini movie, what more could you possibly want ?

This week I went back to my trustworthy italian indie pop playlist and I wanted to share with you the song that made me listen to this genre in the first place. It’s great, if you like bands like White Lies, Editors or Interpol you’ll probably like Siberia.

Sometimes you juste wanna get out of your home and walk without purpose, but what if the outside is just as sad and scary as the inside ? The Paris based musician Magon kindly gives you a song to use as a shield in case you’d like to try your luck with the outside world.

Just what pop should be to me, bright pink and shimmering but you can’t help but wonder what’s up with the flies flying in circles above it. This album is mostly without vocals except for the closing track, isn’t that sweet ?
