OK, one more, just discovered this today but another Swedish Knife-esque electro pop bandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raqxctNC04k

Kate Boy has been my next big thing for the past year. They signed to Fiction records, finished the album a week ago, and it should be out later this year. They're probably more inspired by 80s Peter Gabriel or Kate Bush, but given Kate's inflections, end up in the Knife-alike category. I've been planning to carpetbomb a new thread once we have an album release date.

Just found the 'rolling like The Knife' thread :)Sure there was a witch-house one too but can't find it

Is Emm Gryner too poppy or too indie (she does run her own label) for Mr. Fever? She seems to get little play in either pop or indie circles, though I dunno if its because she's too obscure or because she's been around for so long, so I don't think she's at all out of place itt. Her latest single is a duet with a Canadian astronaut:

just thought i would say that the kyla la grange album is really good and deserves to be talked about by a lot more people

emm gryner!
(the answer to your question, sadly, is that the sort of music she makes is covered by basically no one anymore, unfortunately, unless you're courtney barnett or whoever)

I haven't paid any attention to Little Daylight before because I just assumed they were a CHVRCHES clone (which they kind of are), but I heard this song "Mona Lisa" Saturday morning and it stayed in my head all weekend.

A lot of it is more slow and samey than I'd hoped for, but I've only listened to it three times. Need to bond with it some more. Title track is still one of my favorite songs of the year, though.

Does Total Control fit this thread?

I like it. It seems maybe a little more like it's trying to recreate an old sound than draw from it in a new way, but it does a good job.

came across that HAERTS track listening to the Classixx Artist Radio station on Spotify and immediately bought it.

I love this HAERTS track, but it's still unofficially released anywhere: https://soundcloud.com/haertsmusic/call-my-name

This is pretty good. Not a million miles from St Etienne.

Lots of overlap between the things mentioned here and the things in this:
http://open.spotify.com/user/glennpmcdonald/playlist/75TlYFXWaDllyenFkbPMNp
although that list has no "not" agenda, and so definitely has lots of pop.
― glenn mcdonald, Sunday, 20 July 2014 14:50 (nine years ago) link
Thanks! I thought I hardly listened to any music any more but 80% of that stuff is in my regular rotation so bodes well..Including Uh huh her, Savoir adore, Frankmusik, Sound of Arrows which I haven't listened to in a while
The MS MR needs to be the chvrches remix imo
― kinder, Sunday, 20 July 2014 17:14 (nine years ago) link
You probably need to check out the Kitten album too

Big fan of Woman's Hour from previous singles. Glad their album doesn't disappoint in the slightest.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 20 July 2014 21:45 (nine years ago) link
i was listening to a spotify station in the shower last week and that Mr. Little Jeans song came on and I went "wow, this is good!" so I looked to see who it was and when I saw the name my heart sank. Good song though.

glenn / seandalai / Johnny - thanks so much for your linking your Spotify playlists on various threads, found so many amazing jams through them.
In particular Fredi Michel 'Oye Poh!' on, I think, seandalai's playlist. Absolute fun party-Goat vibes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psbD2J1XaUY

New Haerts! Album due at the end of October, apparently.

Actually, upon giving this a listen, it's kind of disappointing. They've definitely got better songs and if this is how they want to introduce themselves to the public at large then they need better advisors. That said, I'm still optimistic about the album.
― Everyone's a closet ned. (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 2 September 2014 22:07 (nine years ago) link
On the bright side, "Call My Name" is officially released now as the b-side to this single.

was thinking of plonking down $50 to see them at a festival in DC that also includes Future Islands and Tove Lo. Conflicted about it.

ha, that Bird & Bee one is nice but sounds too much like this alphabet learning tape we had for my little brother..."we're the pixies from the wood.."

Really liking this: Kleerup + Susanne Sundfør
https://soundcloud.com/kleerup/kleerup-let-me-in-feat-susanne-sundfor/
although "“Let Me In” will be impossible to evade in the coming months as it leads a global H&M campaign which is complemented by visuals directed by the legendary Jonas Åkerlund" :(

that Hearts one sounds like 'Stop Whispering' by Radiohead

Fully listened to that Thomas Barfod album today while driving around running errands and "Busy Baby" required repeated listens when I got to that wicked deep bass synth in the choruses.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 6 September 2014 23:37 (nine years ago) link
That Tomas Barford album is really good but it's the Nina K collaboration tracks that are outstanding.

Bedroom mutant r&b/pop thing from Australia. I'm not sure yet how much I like it, but I keep relistening to it when it's over.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 6 October 2014 01:50 (nine years ago) link
The intro and chorus are dope. Not sure about the verse. Kinda sounds like a lo-fi Jessy Lanza or even AlunaGeorge.

Collabo between Bullion and Laura Groves. "Lay Back" is superb and the melodic hook of "Freedom of the Floor" reminds me of something I haven't been able to place, so I keep listening to it hoping it will jar my memory.
