Cats On Fire – My Sense of Pride

What an early Xmas treat! Cats On Fire just unveiled a new song and this means that their new album is ready. The follow-up to 2009′s Our Temperance Movement will be out in a few months, but in the meantime let’s enjoy this fantastic first taste. My Sense of Pride maintains the beautiful Cats On Fire’s signature sound, but with an extra punch that takes the band to the next level. They are set to be one of the finest pop bands of 2012.

Tiger Palace – Versailles

Eduardo Alonso Indie, Video 1 Comment

Inspired by waves, echoes, reverb, delay, chorus and snares. This is how Tiger Palace describe their music and indeed, it is a pretty accurate description. This band from Oulu mysteryously appeared on the Net with just one song and an enigmatic companion story: “I met her on a blue beach. Waves kissed my lips while i was riding a big one on my surfboard. Sunglasses purified her from the colours. I could hear echoes of my youth from a faraway speaker, chillwave sounds reminding me of the lonely 90′s”.

Watch their hypnotic video after the break.

Comet Sands – Somehow

Eduardo Alonso Indie 1 Comment

Sometimes we feature foreign artists that have established themselves in Finland, bringing new influences and sounds. However this time, we introduce Comet Sands, the band of Tiia Jaakola, a Finnish woman who is spending some quality time in London playing synths and singing vocals. Combining Sonic Youth inspired noise rock and power pop melodies, Comet Sands have recently debuted in the cyberspace with a few recordings. Listen to one of their songs after the break.
