Download: Jim Kroft - “Ulysses (Olugbenga remix)”
Metronomy’s Olugbenga is back with a stunning, swirling remix of the Jim Kroft slow-burner “Ulysses”, creating honestly one of the better clicks & whistles edits we’ve heard to date. It’s like Olugbenga had been listening to your favorite glitch artists and didn’t tell you he was doing it, only to surprise you with this remarkable rework.
Godspeed!
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!

Stream: Fort Lean - “Sunsick”
These locals are never not writing the kinds of anthems that you simply can’t help but shout to the heavens. Turn those speakers up as loud as possible, and then go ahead and click play.
