Stream: Simian Ghost - “Wolf Girl (Cloud Nation remix)”
Something Sweden can’t stop doing is churning out over and over again the kind of electronic-tinged dance music that fits alongside pop as much as dance, and the boys in Simian Ghost are a true example of that, with their latest single “Wolf Girl” easily acceptable for both pantheons.
Their next record, “Youth”, is out on Heist or Hit on March 5.
Godspeed!

Emerging: Kodacrome
We haven’t done an “emerging” post in a while, and we’re sorry for that, but we had to bring it back today after listening a few times to the EP from Kodacrome, “Perla”. We’re absolutely enamored with vocalist Elissa Pociask (she also plays synths) and her delivery of whispery, yearning, reaching-out-for-something vocals, matching that with the arrangements that sweep from indie pop to 80s New Romanticism to mid-90s Garbage. We would cosign on anything these kids have in store in the future, and you should too.
Godspeed!

Godspeed!
