WhoMadeWho – “Below The Cherry Moon”

The most misleading image you'll find of this band

The second example on Electric Panda Music of Denmark making a rush at Sweden‘s share of the synth pop market, WhoMadeWho is a bright new group with a lot of polish. “Below The Cherry Moon” is off their upcoming Brighter, due out March 5th on Kompakt.

It’s a slow, moody synth pop track with all the makings of a future soundtrack record.

Also, my apologies for the recent infrequent posting. Moved to a new city and a more demanding job, but posts should start coming back more regularly now.

Girlfriends – “Nowhere Near Your Heart”

February 16, 2012 in Electronic, Indie, Pop by chase | No comments

Hay girl hay?

Denmark decided their neighbors were having too much fun and wanted to get in on the indie pop action. Meet Girlfriends, a trio with an ear for retro and an eye for pastel. Their single, “Nowhere Near Your Heart” wonderfully samples New Order and offers something a little rougher around the edges than what we normally hear from their Swedish counterparts.

If they keep this up their band name may become a self fulfilling prophecy. Check out more stuff on their SoundCloud page or download it all for free from this link.

A Fundraiser for Kim

Kim Collins of The Buddies

Last month we posted about an awesome Irish pub rock band called The Buddies. Their dazzling drummer, Kim Collins, was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

We talk a lot about supporting musicians and their work, but here is a chance to support when it counts the most. The band has put together a fundraiser to help offset some of the costs that Kim and her husband will need to fight this horrible disease.

They’ve already raised over half the goal, with the fundraiser ending on March 2nd. Please consider any donation to help this remarkable, strong woman. You can read more about Kim Collins on the fundraiser page here.

Evian Christ – “F*** It None Of Ya’ll Don’t Rap”

I'm assuming the lion doesn't rap either

Oh hey, another “mysterious” musician on the scene. We know his real name is something Leary and he’s 22 years old. What Evian Christ lacks in originality for presentation he makes up for in execution. “Fuck It None Of Ya’ll Don’t Rap” is one of the dopest production tracks to come across these ears in quite some time. Not much else to say other than you need to bump this.

The Knocks ft. Mandy Lee – “Midnight City (M83 Cover)”

The Knocks and Mandy Lee are no DUMBOs

I’ll keep this short, because I always post every new song that The Knocks come out with. They’re legends in the making as far as Electric Panda Music is concerned and they keep adding on evidence to support that. Bringing newcomer Mandy Lee to the mix, The Knocks take on M83′s “Midnight City” in true NYC dance pop form.

Hey, at the very least it’s nice to hear the lyrics enunciated. And the video was shot a couple streets from my old apartment. God, there are so many reasons to love this.
