[Video] The Colourist - Wishing Wells

Orange County, USA. Pretty nice and gently indie pop by the Colourist. It's music to let go and feeling good. Also, of course, by the nature of the lyrics there is a lot of love in it. Cause, "Just follow what you fell". That's all! And now enjoy the music!

[MP3 + Video] Zucchini Drive - Jaguar Sky

Kortrijk, Belgium / London, England. Zucchini Drive, comprised of Marcus Graap and Tom De Geeter, has a knack for cooking up surprising music from unlikely ingredients. From their initial beginnings in 2002, the pair tackled the challenge  of melding the lo-fi acoustic sounds of De Geeter and the buoyant electronic landscapes of Graap. The Duo has taken their contrasting backgrounds and geographical distances to create an unparalleled energy.

Working in remote locations Zucchini Drive has put together their latest project "No Food But Lots Of Weapons". Completely self-produced, this album is a combination of where the duo stands as artists and their take on a 2012 world.

Their first single, "Jaguar Sky", brings a set of strong vocals and a building energy to make for a great example of the Zucchini Drive's capabilities. This single is now accompanied by a music video that depicts the members performing against a city backdrop. The album, "No Food But Lots Of Weapons", will be available on September 25, 2012 via Marathon of Dope.

Paris, France. We continue the style of music of last week. Cause the last post we had the Australian Indie/Synth Pop band Client Liaison with their 80s sound. Today, the France-based artist Yan Wagner releases his EP "Forty Eight Hours". The track has a Synth Pop Electro style.

[MP3 + Video] Client Liaison - End Of The Earth

The Commonwealth Of Australia. Well, actually, I can't really describe the sound of the Australian indie-pop/dance duo Client Liaison. But what I can say is that it's an incredible rolling tune. This track "End Of The Earth" has remarkable 80s feeling. However, it's fitting also very well in our time. Enjoy the video below and grap the download.

[Stream] Joe Goddard - Gabriel EP

London, England. Apparently, Hot Chip member Joe Goddard is omnipresent. On the one hand, he's procuding with his indietronica band "2 Bears" (see Duke's Favs Jan'12) and, on the other hand, he's creating stuff on his own with his solo project. The new single is called "Gabriel". I've been falling in love with the music of Joe Goddard since Hot Chip was coming up. This EP didn't chance anything. I'm still in love. Now, enjoy video and EP.

Cape Town, South Africa. Holy Molly! Die Antwoord are back and hit in big. The new single "I Fink U Freeky" is extreme and uncomfortable like ever. But Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er, and DJ Hi-Tek don't give a f***. The video above is, by the way, freeky like the track itself. Album "Ten$ion" will be out on 7th Februar. And when you're not fine with it, stay away. Cause this is not for the faint hearted.

[MP3] Tommy Trash - Future Folk (LAZRtag Moombahton Bootleg)

Sydney, Australia. What a Moombahton version by LAZRtag! The Los Angeles DJ and producer keeps the melodic part of "Future Folk" and put the beats down to the Moombahton typical 110 bpm. But also,  the original is really good as the bootleg version. You can listen also to the original below and download the LAZRtag version. And if you want you can also listen and download the "Let's Make Babies"-Mixtape by Tommy Trash. Totally another genre, but really good. Should be enough for today!

[Video] Modeselektor - Evil Twin

Berlin, Germany. Famous electro producer duo Modeselektor created a brilliant video to their track "Evil Twin". In the video, two monkeys are messing around, making music, chasing each other and destroy some things. Really funny and amazing clip. Oh, and the music is also gorgeous with nasty beats. You can by the EP and the video on their label Monkey Records. Enjoy that master piece and tell me what you think about it.
