Hypnolove - Mademoiselle

A: Hypnolove
S: Mademoiselle

So we lost Britain, but we will always have Paris - at least for now. So let's fox things up on this foxless Thursday. Make sure you also check out their newest drop La Piscine, redefining in style and French what too cool for pool means.

...  je reve de toi toute la nuit.

Blood Orange - Augustine

A: Blood Orange
S: Augustine

Dev Hynes’ new Blood Orange album Freetown Sound came out last night and a few days earlier than planned. The self-directed video for Augustine shows him dancing on rooftops and singing in front of a Sierra Leone flag - because Freetown is Sierra Leone’s capital, most probably. 

... the things that I could do to you.

Computer Magic - Fuzz

A: Computer Magic
S: Fuzz

Whimsical, claustrophobic, and ethereal: get ready to get dizzy. Computer Magic is here to make all your 80s revival dreams come true, over and over again, after we put them on a shelf half way through the first decade of the new millennium.

... I was by myself until I found somebody else.

Wye Oak - Watching the Waiting

A: Wye Oak
S: Watching the Waiting

Dear reader, get your indie ass out of bed and start watching Wye Oak. The band claims I the eight tracks on their latest album Tween are not emblematic of a step forward, but a step sideways in time.

... I sit, watching myself watching you.

Nite Jewel - Boo Hoo

A: Nite Jewel
S: Boo Hoo

Ramona Gonzalez aka Nite Jewel has released her second album Liquid Cool and it is as cool - and as cold - as it gets, exploring the theme of aloneness in a crowded and disconnected world.

... if we knew each other.

Motopony - 1971

A: Motopony
S: 1971

Put some hippie in your heatwave. Here to help you board that time machine is Motopony, ready to take you back to a time when the hair was long, the drugs were strong, and the United Kingdom was still, well, united.

... all this pornography is bringing me down.

Beyoncé - Sorry

A: Beyoncé
S: Sorry

Wondering whether or not to make today's song about that referendum, again - I chose to let things linger between the lines, hinting, without saying. In the meantime, Beyoncé's Lemonade is the gift that keeps us giving - except a vinyl version. Buh.

... ashes to ashes, dust to side chicks.

Shakespear's Sister - Stay

A:  Shakespear's Sister
S: Stay

Britain! This one is for you. Part of me wouldn't mind you leaving, because maybe you deserve it, after years of complaints. Then again, what good will ever come from giving in to populistic xenophobic rhetoric? Europe has been there. It didn't work out for anybody.

... there can be no in between.

Colder - Goodbye

A: Colder
S: Goodbye

French electronic musician Colder is back with not one, but two new albums, out June 24 - one titled Goodbye and the other, The Rain. Colder’s new projects revisit his classic sounds, while incorporating the New Wave expressionism and dynamic electronica.

...  I keep my teardrops for another life.

Kaiser Chiefs - Parachute

A: Kaiser Chiefs
S: Parachute

What happened? I'm not really sure how the Chiefs went from Indie royals to Take That covering Coldplay, but if you take it for what it is, I kind of like it. It certainly sounds like portion of much needed sunshine, and equally needed alternative to that Timberlake song.

... you’re at the core of what I need.

Alison Krauss - Down To The River To Pray

A: Alison Krauss
S: Down To The River To Pray

Even if you don't believe in any form of a God, like me, it is worth putting your atheist self on the shelve for these three minutes and enjoy the pure beauty of this song and the calming effect of its video.

... show me the way.

Patti LaBelle - Somewhere Over The Rainbow

A: Patti LaBelle
S: Somewhere Over The Rainbow

How to put this? Somewhere over the rainbow and slightly over the top (make sure you watch the performance until the very end) is this histerically beautiful rendition of Patti LaBelle.

... dreams really do come true.

Electric Pyramid - The River

A: Electric Pyramid
S: River

To celebrate the release of their debut single 1989 (looks like La Swift didn't manage to brand her birthyear, huh?), London band aka self proclaimed family Electric Pyramid have now shared the video for b-side 'The River'.

... I'm nothing with your love.

LEISURE - Hot Love

A: LEISURE
S: Hot Love

Take elements from Tame Impala and Gorillaz and mash them all up into a smooth, funky, playful mix, and it might sound something like Leisure. Still no info on them yet, besides that they are from Auckland, but keep an ear out - Leisure is good.

... There's nothing better than your love.

The Internet Feat. Kaytranada - Girl

A: The Internet Feat. Kaytranada
S: Girl

Here's the chillest declaration of love to ever hit your ears. As fresh as a 2015 release can be, it still makes me make love to the repeat button on my keyboard every time I play it, especially on a sticky summer night.

... anything you want is yours.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Zephyr Song

A: Red Hot Chili Peppers
S: The Zephyr Song

If you missed James Cordon's latest episode of the late late show's carpool karaoke, head over there right now and enjoy some extra nuts and extremely naked Chili Peppers. If you simply miss good rock music, stay right here.

... we'll find a place together.

Sons Of The East - Already Gone

A: Sons Of The East
S: Already Gone

Having given the Sons of Mumford, Of Monster and Men, The Lumineers and the likes a run for their money, Sons of The East have quietly debuted their first long player down under. Follow them on their first national tour in their new video.

... every time I try, I fail.

Purple Flash - We Can Make It

A: Purple Flash
S: We Can Make It

Here's one for Orlando, for America, for the world. Love will always win.

... if we try.

Arctic Monkeys - Love Is A Laserquest

A: Arctic Monkeys
S: Love Is A Laserquest

This might just be the bestest love song ever written, about love in its most common form, which is, and always will be, unrequited love. Because in the end, when we're all not being honest, and pretend that all were just some lovers.

...you're always busy being make believe.

Mo - Final Song

A: Mo
S: Final Song

With a hint of Spice Girls' Say You'll Be There, Mo turns a deserted desert once again into a dancefloor. In the absolutely top-shelf pop video, we see MØ floating magically above an alien-looking mountain landscape, dancers figure in heavily, as does some sort of albino snake.

... but when you're gone the music goes.

MayaVanya Feat. Chelsea Jade - Diving Board

A: MayaVanya Feat. Chelsea Jade
S: Diving Board

Fresh from down under comes electro duo MayaVanya with their new single Diving Board. And since I am all about pools these days, it is a perfect fit. If it wasn't, Chelsea Jade's eerie vocals would be reason enough for this post.

... I thought love is cleaner when we started this thing.

Wild Beasts - Get My Bang

A: Wild Beasts
S: Get My Bang

This might not be an instant favourite, but it is definitely a grower. And as you might now from experience, those are usually the ones that stick with you for longer. Boy King, the band's next album, is out early August.

... if they're hungry then just let them eat cake.

Teddy Pendergrass - The More I Get, The More I Want

A: Teddy Persergrass
S: The More I Get, The More I Want

How about we turn this Wednesday into Saturday and start funking things up half way through the week instead of just two lame days at the end of the week? Here to do the job are my two Friends, Teddy and Disco.

... you're always there.

Beck - WOW

A: Beck
S: WOW

Beck's masterpiece Odelay turns 20 soon, and with his new single Wow, he sounds like he’s returning to that album’s sound. More specifically, Beck has somehow come up with a 2016 version of the bemused surrealist funk of Odelay. And wow, it's loud.

... my demons on the cellphone to your demons.

The Head and The Heart - All We Ever Knew

A: The Head and The Heart
S: All We Ever Knew
C: Signs of Light

In case you were not on top of all the new releases last Friday, here's a short reminder that The Kills, Tegan & Sara and Whitney all released a new record over the weekend. But first things first: here's THATH new single.

... I'm trying to make up for it.

Lisa Stansfield - All Around The World

A: Lisa Stansfield
S: All Around the World

The second best thing about classics such like these? They keep poping up out of nowhere. Which leads us to the bestest thing about classics. They nevereverever get old. So here's to that.

... I can't find my baby.

EASTER - LEDA

A: EASTER
S: LEDA

Fresh for you, it's Berlin's finest. Through their music you will, eventually, be able to face the most beautiful ass on the beach. On another note, their next EP New Cuisine Pt 2 is out tomorrow.

... I'd make you mine if I had time.

Peter Bjorn And John - What You Talking About?

A: Peter Bjorn And John
S: What You Talking About?

Are you ready, steady, go go go for a new Peter Bjorn And John album? If not, this song and/or video should get you in the mood for the band's seventh studio album Breakin' Point, which will be released next Friday. Champagna!

... tell me lies and I will listen.

Mickey3D - En Léger Différé

A: Mickey3D
S: En Léger Différé

Once again, it is my favorite French band of all times, who might have released their bestest album to date. Unfortunately, none of their records is out on vinyl. Quelle merde. Mais on les aime - quandmeme.

... je n'ai pas compris la question.

Whitney - No Matter Where We Go

A: Whitney
S: No Matter Where We Go

If you are in desperate need of the perfect indie summer album, help is on it's way. Whitney will release their debut on Friday, and here to get you in the mood is their third single and instant hit about a the perfect road trip.

... don't you feel lonely no matter where we go.
