[Indie - Pop] Emil & Friends - Royal Oats (Radial Remix)

New Yorker Emil Hewitt has just released his latest EP Royal Oats under the Kitsune label. Along with that we got some pretty cool remixes, my favorite being the Radial remix. The electronic jumps here will make you high step all around the room, or wherever you are. Since no-one is required to work in New York because of that darn hurricane, might as well turn this one up and lose yourself in this vibrant mix.

[Electronic] Carousel - Let's Go Home (Sound Remedy Remix)

Surprisingly, Sound Remedy hasn't featured on The Vinyl Wall before, until today. I've said it once before, but this could be the greatest remix I have heard for a song in a long long time. I thoroughly enjoyed the original version, but this remix breathes with a whole new life. That signature hard hitting electro beat pulsates through your body into absolute ecstasy. Just wait for the drop at 1.50 and you will see what I mean.

[Indie - Pop] Collectors Club - Wanna Be You

Hopefully you guys might remember Collectors Club from one of our posts way back in May for their debut single "First To Know". Well the brits are back with their brand new single "Wanna Be You" after a 5 month hiatus. This particular single still has all the great guitar work that got me hooked from the very beginning but like all bands, given the time and space, they have matured greatly. Enjoying this one immensely!

[Indie - Pop] Leapling - Seventeen

There's a silly innocence behing "Seventeen", the first single under Brooklyn based Leapling, that feels strangely addictive in the purest way. As utterly simple and naive as "Seventeen" may seem, its soulfulness refrains it from turning into an annoying radio ballade. It's not exactly often that lyrics going "baby, we can do it if we try, everything is simple with you" actually feels so truthfully honest.

[Folk - Pop] Angus Stone - True Colors (Cyndi Lauper Cover)

As part of MTV's Cover The World competition, Angus Stone has delivered a stirring cover of a Cyndi Lauper (no it's not Kasey Chambers..) classic "True Colors". It's a little bit sexy I think, a much different take on the original, I would say it is more of a rework. The deep bass lines, haunting vocals and that jazz infused vibe makes for a truly memorable cover. Angus has a good chance at winning this competition so get voting!

[Indie - Pop] Pear Shape - The Coca Cola Kid

Sydney indie - poppers Pear Shape's debut EP is sooo much fun! Their sound is playful, but each song offers more than the just fun poppy layer on top. "The Coca Cola Kid" is the lead single (released back in February) off the recently released EP and it is ridiculously good. Catchy melodies, diary entry lyrics and a real vibrant sound makes this song so memorable. There are some clear influences here from the likes of Vampire Weekend.
