Loved-Up Playlist

I thought I should post some fantastic songs I have been listening to over the last two weeks. They are mainly electro pop. These sunny music really get me into the mood of summer. Enjoy!

Air France | gbg belong to us - new song dedicated to their city Gothenburg. Free download from their website. Part I is a tour guide to Gothenburg. Part II is where you can download the song.

Saint Etienne - Spring (Air France Remix) “This is the answer to our prayers. ‘Spring’ is the song we fucked to when we were eleven and took rohypnol raw”

Miami Horror | Sometimes - This is truly one of the best single of the year! When I listen to the song, I cannot help singing the chorus, also linking the music with this beautiful music video. God, I wanna go to the beach again... These guys are from Melbourne, Australia. New album will be out next year.

The Millioners | My Great Regret - I actually don't know much about these guys. But their album Most Sexist Music sounds good.

The Embassy | It Pays To Belong - Awesome Swedish electro pop band. Already released two albums, Futile Crimes and Tacking. Both are magical. They also released some other singles/EPs through their label Service. I haven't got my hands on those... but I will!

The Embassy | Stage Persona

Lake Heartbeat | Mystery - I've posted them before. Anyway, their album is definitely one of my top albums of the year.

The Ecstasy Of Saint Theresa | What's - I don't know much about them either. Shoegaze, dream/noise pop. This is the openning song from a four-track EP called Pigment. Please do yourself (or me) a favor and check out this phenomenal piece of music.

The Studio | West Coast - Maybe this video really got me hooked with The Studio. I mean their music is like a perfect pop soundtrack, but nothing like the pop music you have heard. Blending the good pop elements with experimental approaches. Very cool stuff!

Saint Etienne | Only Love Can Break Your Heart - from St. Etienne's classic album Foxbase Alpha. All the songs on the album will be remixed by Richard X, and will be released soon in an album called Foxbase Beta. I'm not sure why they wanna do that. Foxbase Alpha is already flawless...

Last thing... about the photograph above. It's a cover of a single called Loved-Up by Korallreven. This song is all that Korallreven has ever released under Service label. "The sounds of Korallreven's tropical shoegaze can be found at the battle front between civilization and nature." I can't wait for their debut album, which will be released in spring 2010. By the way, I still think buying mp3 is such a weird thing. You paid, and you get something in ones and zeros...
