Loved Songs # 12 – a Spotify playlist of recent indie/pop favourites
Tweet photo by Debs (ò‿ó)♪ Another week is close to the end, and that means that we have got another “Loved Songs” Spotify playlist for you. The list contains mostly new songs, songs from new releases – or older songs that recently have been added to Spotify. I have sneaked in a few old favourites as well, but most of them have been re-released in deluxe editions the last week, so they are kind of recent favourites as well. Hope … →
Baffin Island – “You make two weeks two days” (new video)
Tweet Baffin Island, the collaboration-project between The Very Most and The Hermit Crabs, has made a video for their lovely song “You make two weeks two days”. The full EP can be downloaded for free from our netlabel EardrumsPop. The video is edited by Chris Gillies, and put together from a public domain movie called “Of Human Bondage” (1934) starring Lesley Howard and Bette Davis.

Dum Dum Girls – “Bedroom Eyes” (video and album stream)
Tweet I must admit that even if I loved the debut-album from Dum Dum Girls, those songs doesn’t even get close to the new ones from the band’s upcoming Sub Pop-album “Only in Dreams”. It sounds more focused, and both the melodies and the vocals seem to come a lot more forward, which is a very good thing in my book. “Bedroom Eyes” is the new video and single from Dum Dum Girls. You can stream the full album via … →
New song and video from Spectrals
Tweet Spectrals will release his debut-album “Bad Penny” on Slumberland (US)/Wichita (UK) in the end of October. The first video from the album was made available a few days ago, and I love the sweet feeling and melody in this song. “Get a Grip” will be released as a single on October 11. Here’s another song from the album, “Big Baby”, and this one is available for free download via Soundcloud: Spectrals – Big Baby by Slumberland Records

Amanda Mair with new single on Labrador Records
Tweet 16-year old Amanda Mair is the latest signing of Sweden’s Labrador Records, and she has a new single out now called “Doubt”. I miss the “Labrador sound” in her music, but other than that, it’s a really nice pop-song. What do you think? Amanda Mair – Doubt
Young Romance
Tweet Paolo and Claire are Young Romance. They used to call themselves The Momeraths, and made some gorgeous songs and EPs using that band-name, but now it’s all about Young Romance. According to the press release, the two are inseparable. “They live together, write together, finish each other’s sentences and second-guess what the other’s going to say next. Sweet, charming, funny, and entirely self contained, they can bicker and joke with each other for hours on end, splendidly isolated as … →
Bands: Tag your mp3s!
Tweet photo by futureshape I often get mp3s from both smaller bands or labels and from promo-agencies, and sometimes the files are not correctly tagged. This is a real problem, both for me and for the band, who lose a lot of promotion because of this. One thing is that I often trash badly tagged files without even listening to them. More importantly, I often download stuff one day and listen to it later, – and when I get 10 … →
