New Politics - Harlem


Denmark dudes New Politics where off the radar for a while. Nack with new single Harlem, again a blend of punk, pop, and electronica. Earbiter calls it indie dance. And it reminds me a bit of the seventies glam rock. Nice!

Matthew E White - Big love



A great bass line. That's the secret. A jazzy version of Roxy Music mixed with Bon Iver. Album is called Big Inner. White is a great fan of Randy Newman. I am a big fan of both.

Dutch Uncles - Flexxin


Dutch Uncles are an indie rock band from Marple, England. They are known for their use of atypical time signatures within a pop context. Their influences includes several bands such as King Crimson, Steve Reich, XTC and Talking Heads. May I add Sparks? Flexxin is taken from the album Out of Touch in the Wild. Great indie dance.

Tegan and Sara - Closer

Tegan and Sara on a disco trip. Thanks to Glee a very popular song. I rather hear songs like Monday Monday Monday, Hell and Walking with a ghost.
