Let's Cross the Fader!

French-duo Poney Poney are gearing up to release a new full-length album, following the release of a new EP "When Do You Wanna Stop Working?" The EP was produced by Para One and spawned remixes by Pacific! and Rob. Yes, I love them. Their catchy-rock hooks can't seem to stay out of my head.

Addiction: Two Door Cinema Club

Kitsune's recent compilation album, Kitsuné Maison 7, featured "Something Good Can Work," a catchy, sweet rock-pop tune. Rather saccharine and very lovely. The song comes from the young Two Door Cinema Club, a Northern Irish electro-pop group. Currently unsigned, the band 7" release of "Something Good Can Work," (through Kitsuné) received rather positive responses. The band features three members: Alex, Kev and Sam who share vocals, guitars and bass. They feature no drummer, but employ pre-recorded drumming. They also scored a gig at Glastonbury this year. Not too bad for an unsigned group.

Daily Addiction: Fever Ray

The Knife, the Swedish duo headed by brother-sister team Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olaf Dreijer, are a prominent fixture on the electronic music scene with their distinctive shrilly, distorted tones. Currently on hiatus, Karin released a solo project, Fever Ray, in March of 2009. The album garnered positive reviews from the critics, scoring an 8/10 from NME. The first single, "If I Had A Heart," was soon followed by the dreamily dreary, "When I Grow Up." The remix by Dan Lissvik mellows it out. A sure aural pleasure that will resonate with you long after you listen.
