The Knocks – “Learn To Fly”

Kings of New York

As per our tradition of posting every song The Knocks release, there was no debate about throwin’ up “Learn To Fly” – a favorite at live shows that’s never gotten a proper release. Apparently cut from their Magic EP, “Learn To Fly” holds its own against the rest of their stellar collection.

In a lot of ways, The Knocks defined New York City for me, and this is just another jam from them making me homesick. To illustrate what kind of energy these guys bring, they played a rooftop show in Manhattan with security forcing them to keep the volume down and they STILL killed it. They’ll be playing a few festivals this summer so be sure to keep an eye out.

Tease us with your bedroom eyes

While Grimes may be the reigning nü-pop princess, Norway’s Mr. Little Jeans (aka Monica Birkenes) follows up her much buzzed about cover of Arcade Fire’s “The Suburbs” with “Runaway.”

Samuel – “Brooklyn”

HeavyRoc Music‘s Samuel first graced Electric Panda Music with his 2010 hit “I Heart NY.” NYC comes back as a theme with his latest “Brooklyn,” a wistful tune lamenting the difficulties of dating someone who lives in another borough. It’s a sentiment that will ring true for any New Yorker, as even living a couple subway stations away from someone can put them out of reach for regular hang outs.

Samuel continues to impress, and we’re very excited for what’s in store this year. Both him and the entire HeavyRoc Music roster is poised to explode any moment.

Collins – “Loverboy”

He must be bros with Kavinksy

My personal obsession with 80s inspired synth jams that started with the release of Drive last year hasn’t ended, and I desperately needed to add some logs to the flames.

Thankfully this juicy ass single from Rio De Janeiro’s Collins came out of nowhere with a happy electric slap to the face. “Loverboy” fits in perfectly with the likes of College and Kavinsky on the soundtrack- a dark, sensuous journey with enough pizazz to make Mark Mothersbaugh jump for joy.

Seriously, someone needs to get this in Devo’s hands. Good thing you can have it in yours. Check out the rest of his stuff on SoundCloud.

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.
