Go Listen: Musique Le Pop















When you combine the words 'pop' and 'Norway', what would you get? Kings of Convenience? Sondre Lerche? Meet Musique Le Pop, a three-piece indie pop  act coming all the way from Norway. When we first had a listen to them, all the 90's electropop goodness suddenly popped out as a picture of Saint Etienne gets projected. And it's not only because they consist of two boys and one lady, by the way.

'Turn to Sand' is their latest single, which was just released a couple of days ago on Norway-based indie label CafĂ© Superstar. With a vocalist that sounds like a twee version of Victoria Legrand (Beach House), somehow it sounds a bit comfortably begging, crafted in glimmering, emotional synths. Stream the music below.

Go Listen: Blac Hollywood




Blac Hollywood is a Canadian new-comer that dabbles in hip-hop and electronic. His sounds echo between glitch-hop, experimental, and the so-called dubstep, bwah-wah-wah-style. A 5-track EP, Kids with Crowns, is available to download below. Go listen for some quick runaway from Kid Cudi, Wiz Khalifa, or even The Weeknd.
