TOTALLY ENORMOUS EXTINCT DINOSAURS


Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Garden from TEED on Vimeo.

I totally love Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and I totally love their new vid for 'Garden'. The track features Louisa of Lulu & The Lampshades and is taken from their new EP, 'All in Two Sixty Dancehalls' which you can totally buy here.
MEGA!

Toronto band, Bravestation just sent me a copy of their upcoming sophomore EP. I'm quite ashamed to say I hadn't heard of these guys before, but I can't see them as being unheard of for much longer. They're a band that draw comparisons to acts like Local Natives, but also wouldn't seem out of place amongst the UK indie scene, standing up against bands such as The Maccabees or let's say, Foals. Quite a promising act to keep an eye on, you can listen to their EP which is currently streaming on their myspace or buy it here.

SUNDAY GIRL + FENECH-SOLER

Fenech Soler's latest remix is for the stunningly gorgeous, Jade Williams aka Sunday Girl. The rising 21yr old recently put out her debut EP, 'Four Floors' and is now in the midst of recording her debut album with Diplo and Jim Elliot at the helm. Her name actually came from an old job in a pet store where she would work every Sunday and was known as Sunday Girl. MARRY ME

C R O C O D I L E S

It broke my heart when Crocodiles had to cancel their Australian tour in March, but the San Diego duo have been working hard on their (James Ford produced) new album, 'Sleep Forever'. The title track is the first single to be released and features the hypnotic B-side, "Groove Is In The Heart / California Girls". It's out August 17 and the album drops on September 14 via Fat Possum.

TROPHY WIFE

Trophy Wife are an unsigned band from Oxford with only three tracks on their myspace. I can't really see these guys as being unsigned for much longer, especially when you have people like Yannis of Foals singing your praises. Definitely keep an eye on these guys, give it a few months, a record label and they will be everywhere.

FOSTER THE PEOPLE

Why am I only just hearing this now?
Foster The People are an LA band who are making waves with their laid back indie-pop. They haven't been around for long but have already made a pretty big impact with their track "Pumped Up Kicks".
Close your eyes, turn it up and try and imagine it's Summer again!

MIIKE SNOW


Miike Snow made one of the best albums of last year, with their self-titled debut. Now they return with a brand new song, 'The Rabbit', mixed by none other than the great man Stuart Price (I once bought a Madonna cd because HE produced it.)
Miike Snow are touring the country for the first time in August and will play the Hi-Fi Bar in Melbourne on the 3rd. (Tickets available soon)
