La Roux I Videos

_____________________________________________________________________

One should leave it to the Brits : three videoclips, as much singles and the album is not out yet (planned for mid June)!
That seem really promising for the 21 yo girl !

the new video out "bulletproof" is still in her retro-futuristic world and it is very pleasant. 80's inspirations plus Eurythmics lookalikes have done a very sweet mix. have a look to this colourful new videoclip:

I really can't wait for the album because she was very disapointing on stage for the Kitsuné gigs, really hope she made good job in studios.
below the other two videos / Quicksand / In for the kills

Kitsuné Maison en Vrai

_____________________________________________________________________

yesterday night at "la Maroquinerie, 75020 Paris" was ace !

Kitsuné, the multifaceted Franco-Japanese brand (see previous post), has once again prooved they are the definitive barometer for setting new standards in music -and beyond!
One big discovery and one disapointment at the show...

David E Sugar :
wasn't arrived yet (...) but it seems quite cool and smooth on headphones. to be confirmed then
Two door cinema club :
seemed to be nice but not that forward-thinking new band, not on the playlist below i didn't find it online
La Roux :
that was a letdown. the music is fine though, but i was hoping for something less dull. that was kinda bland or characterless... despite her inimitable style & outstanding streak !!
We have band :
that was the surprise. they gather all these : LCD soundsystem, New Order, Talking Heads, The Rapture, Fischerspooner, Metronomy and even le Tigre - in one band !

let's have a listen up :

Music | February playlist*

Music | kids to look at

_____________________________________________________________________

I've been taken aback by these two bands. Well, it's not that really new or impressive but its interesting enough to look at -or to listen to.

the "Mickey gang" are from Brasil, they do english rock like the american band teenager could do. the track "born in the 90's" is just refreshing. It's only a demo since their first album is planned to be released on March. click on the image

The cocknbullkid is a pop band from England, London. Well they do pop, but they do it good ! The track i'm not sorry is a disco-pop mix with blingbling contemporary influences.
it's promising.
it's produced by Metronomy.

Music | winter warm up playlist*

at least ...

Music & Colors | clever match

_____________________________________________________________________

that is a perfect match
art + colors + music

for those who think playing the piano is lame, the british artist Hoagy Houghton has created a musical book where colors are notes, the clever thing is that its totally random ! pure creativity then ...

digital acoustic | daft danish punk

_____________________________________________________________________

Back to basics !
a digital song turned into acoustic is always challenging.
That track is good ! Its not brand new but its refreshing...

a cover by a danish pop band, alphabeat :

Petit bateau + MGMT | you said music business ?

_____________________________________________________________________

andrew 310 months, ben 312 months,
guys from MGMT will be the new faces of the next "petit bateau" advertising campaign :

Plus,
the french brand petit bateau will be associated to the next Kitsuné gig @ la Maroquinerie (Paris 20/02/09)... interesting music business right ?

Architecture in Helsinki | that beep

_____________________________________________________________________

They've done it again,

the "made in Australia" band (no, there is no link with Helsinki at all), Architecture in Helsinki is releasing these weeks its new album : Vision Revision (planned for 2009).
First single released "that beep" gives us an idea about what this album will be made of . Influenced by Metronomy, Clap your hands say yeah, The Avalanches, Lo-Fi-Fnk and also New Buffalo that can be anything but bad !

This track saves life !

fresh, addictive, catchy, beepy ...
listen it up :
