Day 73: M83 - Midnight City

Just a short description of a great song, as I am spending the weekend in beautiful Prague; but I still wanted to share this great song with you.

It's from M83, a indie pop band from France, founded in 2001. I would describe their style as dreamy electronic (can be compared to MGMT, Depeche Mode). This single was released on July 18th and it's from their 6th album "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming" (released on October 18). And when you think, this sounds familiar.. You may know it from the Victoria's secret commercial.

Nice, beat, nice sound, great feel.. What do you want more on this beautiful Sunday.. ?

Day 63: Neon Indian - Polish Girl

While listening to the radio on Sunday afternoon I heard this song and felt happy straight away. This was the song I had been waiting for a couple of weeks. The electronic song I longed for. And this Sunday afternoon, wearing my sunglasses and enjoying the beautiful weather outside, the moment was there. A great new song for my blog, that I am really enthousiastic about.

It's from Neon Indian, an indie electronic band from Texas, USA, which started in 2009. In the USA they have already played quite some prominent music festivals but now it's time for Europe. They just released their album Era Extraña (a Spanish language title, literally "Strange Era" or "She Was Strange," depending on the context) on September 13 and this is one of the songs from this album.

What to expect from this single: Game Music, eighties feel, MGMT and Whitest Boy Alive alike, dreamy, nice tune, computers, holiday..

And this one's special for my roommate Eric..

Day 7: Rainbow Arabia - Without You

Ok, we did it.. One week of posting nice music. I hope you liked last week songs. This week it's time for a somehow different direction. Last week it was mostly happy, energizing music. This week it will be more alternative, indie, dubstep, electronic.

We start with a song for the fans of Naked & Famous, Yeasayer and maybe a little Miike Snow. It's called Without You and is from a an electronic duo from Los Angeles called Rainbow Arabia. They produce dance music with Arabic, Asian and North African influences. This song is from their latest album called Boys and Diamonds and appeared with a German Record Label Kompact. (Techno DJ Gui Borato released albums with them) They are known for their amazing releases in which they combine techno/ electro with pop music and the latest Album of Arabia is an excellent example of this. I like this song very much, it has a little eighties feel..
