Starlesoufs

If you enjoyed the most recent suggestion from Pop Cultureddd but thought it was just lacking, oh, I don't know, a late 70's disco vibe? Then worry not! Starlesoufs have breezed into our lives with some tracks that will make you dance regardless of heat and humidity. You'd fall into a dehydrated heap happily if you were having a boogie to this.

Just remember to stay properly hydrated, people!

Thank you Starlesoufs! Thankyouthankyouthankyou.

Here is a sample of their finery.

Cherokee

A Monday you'd just rather had bothered coming round. The more in unfolds the less you like it. That is until you get home and release it all in the discovery of wonderful tracks like these.

Laid back French stylings of Cherokee just ease it all away. Okay, so the influence might be pretty obvious, but that does not at all detract from the calibre and quality of these tracks.

Errm..

I suppose you can only really hide for so long. And in a bid to try and lie to myself that everything is perfectly normal I guess I should blog.

So in follow up to the previous long ago post here is the Tom Vek album, Leisure Seizure. As far as I'm aware it got leaked, but you can legitimately purchase it now, so you should probably do that.

OMG! Tom Vek really is back!

It is alright. Just calm down. Getting over excited is not going to do anyone any good. So sit back down. Take some deep breaths and when you are ready watch the brand new Tom Vek single, A Chore!

Lots of equally exciting things to follow, including the album which is released 6th June titled Leisure Seizure. And hopefully some lives dates. And merch.



No later than I go ahead and post this than I receive an email with the following:

Paul Chambers and 2manydjs

Not really being in the loop anymore with the ol' electro/dance/techno genres means I had not come across Paul Chambers until The Bearded Boy sent me a YouTube video of a 2manydjs at Coachella, which was mainly intended to demonstrate the crazy-awesome visuals that had been difficult to describe in conversation (see below). And other than reminding me that all work/reading/eating cake makes Stephanie a dull, wide-hipped girl highlighting the desperate need for some rollicking dancing to let off steam, the other thing I garnered from it was the amazing Paul Chambers track.

But how very lame! I can't embed the original. So you can have the link that will take you to the Paul Chambers SoundCloud page. And here is the Soulwax remix. Don't worry it hasn't got any of those 'Soulwax claps'. Phew!

The 2 Bears

Whilst I may be totally biased and my judgement clouded by my stalkerish tendencies for Joe Goddard, I have repeatedly been listening to the content of The 2 Bears page on SoundCloud.

These sounds excite me so much. So here are the two EP's so far released.

Is it a bit of a pathetic admission that the simplistic and declarative nature of Church makes me a little wobbly in the knee and tear duct areas?

John LaMonica

I must say it is pretty much an impossible struggle not to fall in love with John LaMonica a little bit more every time I hear his voice. He could call me a self-indulgent, bitch-faced, loser yet if he was singing it I would still be dewy-eyed. And this very candid confession will possibly prompt a lightening reaction 'unfriend-ing' from Facebook. But as long as he doesn't stop making beautiful music, then, whilst not ideal, I think I can live with that.

This guy is lyrically prolific and aurally stunning.

Now I have the privilege of being able to share a promo of his debut album, Volunteers.
