I love French music and I was so excited when I found Wintermitts. They’re sparkling electro-pop is so bright and cheery. They have both English and French songs as demonstrated by their recent album Oceans, available on Bandcamp. The album was produced by Kees Dekker who’s worked with Plants and Animals and Rah Rah so you will hear some familiar sounding influences. Here’s the first track Le Paradis.

Electronic weirdo Doldrums shared a new track called Jump Up. The song is from the Egypt 12″ that will be released May 21st, 2012. Even in cacophony of samples, there’s melodic sense in this. It definitely makes me want to jump up.

[Listen/Download] Matthew De Zoete- Going Nowhere

From rural, Ontario Matthew de Zoete aims to create a collection of succinct songs that would fit a short film. Hence his record Colour Film was born. His voice sounds very real, effortless. Even with all the atmospheric textures there’s something about it that doesn’t seem too manufactured and still kind of rootsy. Hell, he even filmed some Southern Souls videos at the farm. Here’s Going Nowhere. There are a couple of more free tunes off his album on Bandcamp, as well as the full record.

[Listen] Bruce Peninsula- Of Songs

by teepoo

Whoa, here is a 14 minute long new track by Bruce Peninsula called Of Songs. It may seem long, but the song seems to be divided into parts of gospel, folk and root country stuff. Maybe the intention of the one track is so you’ll hear the parts as a whole. It’s not my favourite thing they’ve released, but kind of neat.

Woot, Bravestation has released another song off their upcoming album Giants & Dreamers (which will be released June 10th). Here is Tides of the Summit. Their form of tropical pop is so addictive that I’ve already seen them multiple times in the past few months! Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album soon.

[Listen/Download] The Danks- Automocar

teepoo — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:00:56 +0000

I feel like I only just reviews a release of Alec O’Hanley Two Hours Traffic, but The Danks, is another one he’s involved in. Partnering up with Brohan Moore, the two create some great power-pop. They are joined by Brian Murphy and Adam Hindle to form the full band. Here’s a track for you called Automocar, which is off their upcoming Are You Afraid of the Dark? to be released May 22nd, 2012. They’ll also be playing the Drake Hotel on June 14th, 2012 during NXNE.
