Remember when Kermit The Frog sang the wonderful duet with Debbie Harry on The Muppet Show? Now a duo called Two Of Us have made a gorgeous cover of the already wonderful song “Rainbow Connection”. The song has been used in a television advert for the Sainsbury bank, so you might have heard it there. You can listen to “Rainbow Connection” below, or you can buy it on iTunes. It’s also available on Spotify. Here’s the original:
This time, I managed to get the list out on Friday, as it should be! The list this week is probably less uptempo than the other lists, so maybe I should call it “Slowed Songs” ? My personal highlight of the week, – the Danish sister-duo Kirsten & Marie, have released an amazing album this week. I am also very happy to see Gravenhurst back with a new single this week, and an album coming very soon. This Many Boyfriends’ … →
The lovely Spanish indiepop-band Sundae has made their first video, for a new recording of their song “Verano | Invierno”. The song will be the A side of Sundae’s first 7″ single, released this summer by Discos de Kirlian. The other side of the single will be another new recording of an old song, “Hacia Atrás”. As usual, Sundae give us that spring-feeling with their airy indiepop-sound, sweet, dreamy vocals and gorgeous melodies. lovely video of a lovely song. If you … →

I do have everything that Gravenhurst has released, – at least every official release -, and I am still not tired of … →
When something is released on Sonic Cathedral, it is usually good. Fairewell is released on Sonic Cathedral.

On the EP, you can find remixes from brilliant bands like Echo Lake, younghusband, Team Ghost and others. The remixes I have heard so far sound really good. Here’s a remix made by The All Golden, aka Pete … →
Last week was a boring week for new releases, but this week has definitely been better. I was a little late with this list, because life took some of my time, but here it is. It’s a lot of indie and indiepop, some folky stuff, one or two electronic tracks and one song that is somewhere in the middle of soul, hiphop and everything else. I hope you find some songs you like in here, and if you do, then … →
This song has definitely become today’s soundtrack. It’s probably the best song I have heard so far this year from an artist based in my home-country, Norway. Love the guitars and the lovely vocals on this track, – and it sure looks like they had much fun making the video! Grandma’s Tea Party is a 6-piece (!) orchestra from Bergen, Norway, and according to their biography, it all began with a cup of tea in 2011 in one of the … →
