Eleanor Friedberger – My Mistakes by thisisfakediy One half of my favourite bands The Fiery Furnaces, Eleanor Friedberger has one of those voices I would gladly listen to reading the telephone directory. This is the first teaser from her upcoming debut solo record, which is out soon, along with about 9 albums (yes, really) by [...]

Video: Nadia Oh – Jump Out The Window / Amsterdam
Posted: 26th April 2011 by instanthits in VideosTags: nadia oh
Two more ridiculous teaser videos from the supremely tacky (but also amazing) Nadia Oh. In the spirit of her Kate Middleton teaser, they both feature Nadia against a green-screened background, and excellent Macarena-style subtitled lyrics. It’s all wonderfully tongue-in-cheek stuff, undeniably outrageously daft, but actually paired with some pretty catchy tunes, notably Jump Out The [...]
Listen: Rachel Goodrich – Light Bulb (ANR Remix)

The video above is a cute, but ultimately a bit too silly slice of folksy twee from Rachel Goodrich, released about a year ago. While there’s a catchy tune in there, it is all a little bit grating. What was really needed was a fresh, sexy remix, that kept the infectious melody intact, but brushed [...]
Listen: Niki & the Dove – The Fox

Niki And The Dove – The Fox God, I love Niki & the Dove so much!
Just catching up on this one from last week. Synth-pop duo Monarchy’s latest video features weird experiments, raining cupcakes, and kissing ladies (essentially). It’s pretty good. Still not 100% sold on the song, mind. It builds nicely, but sort of lacks hooks. Still, worth a click.
Video: Germany Germany – Take Me Home

Pretty, synthy instrumental action from Canada Canada’s Germany Germany. The video is moody and smoking-centric, and the track is almost post-rocky in its structure, building from merely distracting to utterly compelling by the climax. All good. More good Germany Germany below: Reflections by Germany Germany Toro Y Moi – Still Sound (Germany Germany remix) by [...]

Niki & The Dove – Gentle Roar (Mylo remix) Despite a slight concern that nothing Niki & the Dove do will ever really live up to the absolute perfection of last year’s DJ Ease My Mind and Under The Bridges, I feel compelled to post every new song that crops up. But really the key [...]
Video: Kito & Reija Lee – On The Jam

Bit busy at the moment, so here’s another quickie. Sexy, twitchy almost-pop dubstep from the rather wonderful Kito & Reija Lee. It’s from the Sweet Talk EP, out now on Mad Decent.
Video: Paper Crows – Fingertips (again)
Posted: 8th April 2011 by instanthits in VideosTags: paper crows
This video is an improvement on the apparently unofficial one I posted a few weeks ago. Still a bit underwhelming though. Exciting apocalyptic non-musical intro quickly slides into Paper Crows hanging around various places looking glum. Still LOVE this song though. Love it.
