It slipped right by me earlier this month, but there's finally an album from The Preatures called Blue Planet Eyes. Listening on Spotify right now and if you were ever a fan of "Is This How You Feel?" you'll probably be pretty happy with it.

I can't say I'm into the whole Russian Girl album, but this track from it is totally sublime. You may recognize her as one of the cadre of vocalists from Nouvelle Vague (or not).

More from the Arbutus Records hit factory that brought us Grimes. This may be the poppiest thing on the Lydia Ainsworth's debut Right From Real, which is for the most part a Glasser type affair:

I missed the Elliphant / MØ single when it came out. I like it a lot.

This is dope. Whole ep is dope as a matter of fact. As is the new single "Levitation" which is just a few days old.

Jones song is so good. Thanks!

More from the Swedish Alternative R&B pipe:

I'd heard Ji Nilsson's "Heartbreakfree," but it didn't do a lot for me. I like this a lot more.

Denmark, reliable as usual: Saint Cava - Forget

it's weird how they keep sending the worst Eurovision entries
― death in Skegness (seandalai), Monday, 8 December 2014 23:33 (nine years ago) link
I wish I had a close personal relationship with Eurovision the way a lot of my non-US friends do. It seems like fun.

The likes of Lordi and Conchita Wurst make it seem like the largest in-joke in entertainment. Margaret Berger was a guilty pleasure nominee last year who has a good production team on her more recent singles.
There's very definitely a Copenhagen sound, with Saint Cava following in the steps of downtempo Trentemoller, Lulu Rouge, and Mike Sheridan. Nice.

warning: it does have some laryngopharynx footage in that video that may make work colleagues wonder just wtf it is you're watching
― Ottbot jr (NickB), Saturday, 20 December 2014 00:59 (nine years ago) link
Oh yes.
A kinda unique take on the the Portishead template of aged x crystalline.

Australia, you guys. Last year, The Preatures scored with a nice Haim ripoff. Now, Megan Washington (fka just Washington) has hit with a ripoff of The Preatures ripping off Haim. Thievery, I'm down.

I've found her supremely annoying in the past but haven't kept up with her recent work.
FYI that preatures album is quite good.
― uxorious gazumping (monotony), Monday, 22 December 2014 04:29 (nine years ago) link
Her new album is really nice, but I've likewise not cared much about her in the past.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 22 December 2014 04:41 (nine years ago) link
Claire Brentnall does little to dispel this comparison, even visually.

I liked a couple songs on that record, but couldn't really get with the whole thing.

it's a great album!

i know it's an old song but i was ridiculously addicted to 'all things return at night' after i listened to that album. like play-it-five-times-in-a-row addicted
