Born to Die

I may have heard to fast to Lana del Rey’s songs or maybe the thing is that the video by Yoann Lemoine does real good to Born to Die, new single from the homonym album by the latest musical sensation because, the very first time I heard it I didn’t pay that much attention...

Stand Up Against Heart Crime – A Hundred Lovers

Catalan guerilla guys, these guys make up a band that came into my soul at the end of the autumn, and have become a reference point when talking about the homegrown music scene. With their angelic faces, eyes that could leave you breathless and echoes that could cause you to hallucinate, I think that...

Your Girl by Kakkmaddafakka

Erlend Øye is still getting away with it, as a member of Kings of Convenience and as the frontman for The Whitest Boy Alive, he is now producing the latest album by a band with a name that is unpronounceable in my vocabulary: Kakkmaddafakka. It consists of some young guys from Bergen that Erlend...

Yelle – Comme un Enfant

Comme en un Enfant is the new single coming from the latest album by Yelle, named Safari Disco Club and about which we were talking in here not so long ago. If the one in charge of the styling in the previous video was ironic and funny Belgian designer Jean Paul Lespagnard, the stylings...

When Saints Go Machine – Kelly

One of our favourite quartets from Denmark have gotten their own way, once again, When Saints Go Machine do not need a grand introduction, we don’t need to discuss their musical influences or the variety of genres that they are capable of encompassing without detaching from their deep electronic roots. Neither do we need...

Anna Morley

It has never really happened before that I have got to know the professions of my neighbours, and after 5 years of having lived in the same building it has turned out that after all they were one of my best clients that I had only ever met over the phone, or that we...

James Blake – The Wilhelm Scream

James Blake – The Wilhelm Scream

The good thing about technologies is that, normally, you can switch on and off everything as you wish. Paradoxically, the bad thing is that, sometimes, these technologies seem to be possessed by the devil himself and then they decide to do it -switching on and off- by themselves, escaping from all possible control. If you...

Tensnake — Something About You

I have friends who could talk for hours and could write articles of 1000’s of words about men like Marco Niemerski, better known as Tensnake since 2006; a musician that manages to make records that sell out within just a few hours of release, leaving no doubt as to his accomplishment. As I read some...

I’m His Girl

Let’s add some spice to the party. For many years I’ve been trying to find dance nights that really bring my senses alive, and at times this has backfired on me. Sometimes I have come across nights where the brilliance of the neo-punk pop Dj is literally blinding, the type of nights where you...

Safari Disco Club: Yelle & Jean Paul Lespagnard

French singer Yelle is well known for her sweet catchy and danceable electro-pop, but also for wearing creations by designers as appropriate to her musical mood as Jean Charles de Castelbajac or Jeremy Scott. Today this video came to my mind, including two songs of her latest album Safari Disco Club released in the beginning...

Little Number — BOY

I’ve been reminiscing about that feeling that you always get when you fly back into Barcelona and look out at the view through the window of the plane and see all the places you think you recognise. I have to say that the places I never forget are all of the big landmarks, that...

Blue Jeans

Since Andrés introduced us Lana del Rey last month, the fame of which he already announced as the new sensation of the season hasn’t stopped exponentially growing. After listening carefully to her music during the last mont I have just decided Blue Jeans is my favourite -Lana’s, I mean- song to date; I also had decided...

Bombay Bicycle Club — Shuffle

The words on all my friends’ lips at the moment are about the feelings of living in a southern European country with temperatures of 21ºC in early October, whilst the rest of the northern hemisphere is beginning to feel the cold chill that heralds the arrival of Autumn. I have to confess that the feeling...

‘Metals’ the long-awaited comeback by Feist

Since some days ago Berlin is full of billboards announcing Feist’s comeback with a new album called Metals. I was really looking forward to hearing the latest by this Canada-born singer and songwriter that, since The Reminder already four years ago, left us a little helpless. If you are as intrigued as I was to...

Lana del Rey — Video Games

Lana del Rey — Video Games

I love the sensation of power in creating expectations about something from which there is nothing yet, and how writers like me can benefit from that in order to write biographies that are at this moment still unauthorised. A couple of weeks ago, a video of a girl named Lizzy Grant (although I am still...
