GRAZER

Here's a lovely mix of jangle pop, synth pop, and post punk from Australian duo GRAZER.  New album "Melancholics Anonymous" is out now.  Get it here from Cascine and listen to "These Days (Pass Me By)" below.

Lemonade with Dee Dee from Dum Dum Girls

A whole lot of stuff going on in my world right now, good and great stuff mind you, but a whole lot on my plate nonetheless.  And i'm just going to roll with it all and not get stressed.  So, here's a chilled-out, synthy dance number from Lemonade featuring Dee Dee from Dum Dum Girls.  Listen to "Dancer on the Shore" below, grab a beverage, and listen to the proverbial waves crashing into the beach.

The Road Chief

The Road Chief is the new project from former Emeralds member and non baseball player Mark McGuire.  The "All My Love" cassette is due later this month from Cascine Records, but you can listen to the blippy, bleepy, lo-fi synth, elevator music of "Is This Really Love?" below.

Yumi Zouma - Alena

Here's a new gem from New Zealand soft-synth nostalgia-pop act Yumi Zouma.  "Alena" plays out like some kind of late-night/early-morning Balearic disco jam soothing the dancers at some outerworld neon club.  It's a dreamy way to start a Thursday.  Get the single from Cascine and listen below.

Yumi Zouma remixed by Mark McGuire

Airy dreampop artist Yumi Zouma's "Salka Gets Her Hopes Up" gets the remix treatment from analog synthesizer enthusiast and electronic artist Mark McGuire.  Everybody dance!  Listen below.

Brett

It's Sunday.  It's a holiday weekend.  I took it the whole thing off from work.  So, let's float around in some blissful electronic pop from Washington DC's Brett.  Take a listen to "Goon" below, air it all out, and grab the self-titled debut album from Cascine.

Yumi Zouma

Yumi Zouma's upcoming debut self-titled 10" EP is a little collection of winsome and airy pop songs.  They're kind of folky, kind of day dreamy, and pure bubble gum.  And she looks like someone we all would have gone to camp with back in the early 80's.  Get it from Cascine Records and listen to "The Brae" below.

Keep Shelly In Athens

After a number of excellent EP's and singles, Keep Shelly In Athens are finally ready to release their proper full-length debut of dreamy and ethereal synth-pop.  "Home" comes out in September on Cascine, but you can listen to first single "Recollection" below.
