Röyksopp Senior

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on May 27th, 2010

Röyksopp is, according to their own website, releasing their next album in August. “Senior” was supposed to be out already, in April to be exact, but because of a bit of fuzz with the record companies, it has been postponed.

Sneak Peak

Posted by Magnus Vindenes Dahl on April 6th, 2010

2010 has been pretty good so far, musicwise. Cool disco cuts from Lindstrøm, Chilly synth pop from Beach House, dancy electro from Two Door Cinema Club and unpretensious pop from Ellie Goulding ++. But its only the beginning of april and there are still tons of acts to look forward to. Here are some of the things to look out for.

Holly Miranda

After visiting Rough Trade in London I came across this new act (to me anyways) described as beautifull and ghostly with fragile, hushed vocals and I immediately came to think of personal favourite Lykke Li. So I snatched a copy unlistened.

The state of British Pop

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on March 22nd, 2010

Ellie Goulding, Delphic, Florence + The Machine and La Roux. Apparently they’re all rising stars and some of the best in Pop and Indie at the moment. At least according to the Brits themselves.

Some bands get it. Some labels get it. Take a look at this beautiful release.

La Blogotheque

Everbody has those slow days now and again where you find yourself sitting in front of the computer with nothing to do. Flipping through the same cycle of websites over and over again, hoping to come across something new, exciting and hopefully life-changing.

Teenage Engineering

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on March 2nd, 2010

Teenage Engineering makes really (really) nice looking things from their Stockholm studio. The first thing that caught my eye was the OP-1 synth. It looks amazing, with a fun, minimalistic design, but it actually seems like a very resourceful little music box as well.

The Broken Bells

Posted by Magnus Vindenes Dahl on February 25th, 2010

The Shins’ James Mercer and Gnarls Barkleys Danger Mouse has teamed up to form Broken Bells. the two are set to release the self titled LP march 9th.

Twins Twins

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on February 24th, 2010

Twins Twins is (apparently) my favourite band at the moment. They are from Copenhagen, Denmark. They make indie-pop. And they are cool.

Einar’s list of favorite albums of the decade

top-15

It was the decade I started listening to good music. I was 10 years old when I first discovered life changing genres in music like post-rock, electronica and indie-rock. The noughties had just began.

New MGMT

Posted by Aleksander Vindenes Dahl on February 9th, 2010

MGMT has finally announced the date of the release of their second full-length. They had massive success with their first, but I’m a bit hesitant in my excitement about the second.

Videos that caught my attention pt. 4

Videos that caught my attention this time: four good and one awful, including Universal everything, Bansajo and LCD soundsystem.

Delphic?

Delphic is an Electro band from Manchester. They make Trance influenced electro-pop and just released their debut LP “Acolyte” and i honestly don’t know if i like them or not.

Coming up!

coming-up

It’s a new year. A new year of forthcoming albums and new bands. And to be honest, I couldn’t be more thrilled. After a slightly disappointing year I’m filled with optimism and joy over all the (possibly) great albums up ahead.

Top Fives

top-five

The year has just past and it’s a time for lists. Top 100’s, 50’s, 20’s and 10’s in everything you could emagine. Therefore, since we haven’t had a tradtition for being exceptionally different and innovative so far, we’re gonna do our own list of top 5’s from the past 12 months, and we promise, this upcoming year, we’ll do some seriously innovative, original writing to make up for it.
