Listen! Flume – Bring You Down (featuring George Maple)
We have some new stuff out of Australia, and it comes in the form of Flume, which reminds me of the Zumba Flume water ride from Canada’s Wonderland. I often make weird mental word associations. In this case, Flume is...
Watch! She & Him – Baby, It’s Cold Outside
Not many musicians finalize their divorces AND release a new music video on the same day. But the lovely lovely lovely lovely lovely lovely Zooey Deschanel managed to do that, finalizing her divorce with Death Cab for Cutie singer, Ben...
Watch! New Found Land – Mirror
We recently covered Elliphant, and commented on how awesome Sweden has been for pumping out great pop tunes of late. We have another good addition to our list – New Found Land. No, they are not from Newfoundland, Canada (just...
Watch! Troumaca – Lady Colour
Some more great stuff out of Birmingham, England for you. We have Troumaca, who have a warm, electronic blip filled track in Lady Colour. The video has some slow motion, underwater, colour-filled people doing their thing. The song is better...
Watch! The Ruby Suns – Kingfisher Call Me
It was not too long ago that we featured Kiwi band, The Ruby Suns, and their track Kingfisher Call Me. Since then, I’ve been released from jail, and can now watch YouTube videos in a more relaxed environment – my...
Watch! Autre Ne Veut – Counting (feat. Mykki Blanco)
We have a new song called Counting, and it has nothing to do with Sesame Street for once in this blog’s history. The band that rescued us from our Sesame Street trap is Autre Ne Veut, who bring Mykki Blanco...

Watch! Django Django – Life’s a Beach (Plus 2012-2013 Tour Dates)
Django Django have announced a North America tour for 2013, and thankfully they’ll be coming to Toronto. I missed them in London earlier this year – twice! – thanks to the Field Day ticket fiasco. They have brought another bout...
Watch! M83 – Wait
M83 released their double album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming last year, along with the excellent track and video, Midnight City. We then got a video for Reunion this past spring, which carried on the themes of the first video. Somewhat...
Listen! GEMS – Void Moon
Some dreamy indie pop to brighten up your Tuesday. GEMS is Clifford John Usher and Lindsay Pitts. They have a few tracks floating around on the “information superhighway” including Void Moon. The band coolly note on their SoundCloud page, “We...
Watch! Elliphant – Down on Life
There’s something about Sweden and producing some good pop tunes. This brings us to Elliphant and the MC’s new track, Down on Life (which I’m sure is fitting for readers of this blog). The video features Elliphant and her gang...
Listen! BCBG – White Trees
Here’s some dark pop out of Paris by way of Brazil. The band are BCBG, and they have some upbeat and moving beats to accompany these dark, catchy, and haunting vocals. Any band with a cat in their album artwork...
Watch! The Babies – Baby
What we have here is a track called Baby by a band called The Babies that starts off with the lyrics “Baby Baby Baby”. Someone has babies on the brain, and it sure as hell ain’t me. What we also...
Watch! Eternal Summers – Good As You
We have some indie pop out of Virigina…is not a phrase I write enough. But thanks to Eternal Summers, I now can. They dropped an album this past summer (which wasn’t eternal, unfortunately). A track off of Correct Behaviour is...
