[Electro - Pop] Satellite Stories - Sirens (Slow Magic Remix)

Now i've had a chance to listen to both versions of this song and I have to say I'm actually enjoying the remix a lot more. Satellite Stories is a Finnish band and have a sound that can only be described as TDCC like. Slow Magic takes takes the Finland quartet Satellite Stories 'Sirens' and reworks it into a soothing electronically induced experience merging two genres into one coherent sound. The Fins debut album comes out September 21st.

[Indie - Rock] Telekinesis - Coast of Carolina

When I first heard this song I thought to myself 'this sounds terrible!', that was up until the 35th second where the song sprung into life. Telekinesis are a band from Seattle Washington and all I can say is they know to rock out. The guitars rock and snap, the drums are comfortably creative, and the lead singer's voice possesses enough wistful emotion to that it keeps you hooked and warrants replay after replay.

[Indie - Pop] High Highs - Open Season

Now a track from an Australian duo based in Brooklyn High Highs. 'Open Season' is an immediately endearing slice of indie - pop. The song is an overwhelming crowd pleaser, packing enough punch to thoroughly shock upon first listen. Their sound is like a bittersweet letter to the listener that tears one down to a state of profound honesty, humbling one's soul. Check our their entire EP, I can't honestly fault any of their songs.

[Folk - Pop] Fossil Collective - Let It Go

As a big fan on fat/rich harmonies and relaxed folk tunes, 'Let It Go' from Leeds born Fossil Collective are an intriguing prospect. With big honest harmonies and a gentle sway providing a very credible hook. It's a beautiful piece of work, this track fills the heart to the point of bursting as they sing "We started something/tried to make a fire without a flame/Why it wasn't right i couldn't say.'

[Indie - Rock] Stars - Backlines

The 3rd release from Stars' anticipated LP 'The North' coming out early September. The Canadian outfit however features Amy Millan's vocals leading the song. It's a refreshing bit of pop as we see Amy supported by a string section among other instrumentation. I don't know about you but I'm a sucker for female vocalists in rock/pop songs, like The Grates. Anyways check the song out!

[Alternative] Tourism - City Never Sleeps

I present to you Tourism from Brisbane. Wait a second, they sound awfully British, well sir/madame you have a good ear, two members have relocated from the UK, hence the brit- pop influence. Their song 'City Never Sleep' has a very kooks feel to it, the lead singers accent really comes across in this track which lends it a certain amount of charm. Coupled with some pretty handy guitar work you've got yourself a winning song Tourism.
