Ditt Inre + dream pop + electronic +

05. 03

Stockholm’s Ditt Inre (Hampus Klint + Einar Andersson) design moody electronic pop that’s dark & brooding, yet also rich & full of hope. Their debut EP En Värld I Brand is Cascine’s most poetic project to date. Thoughtful & stirring, the lyrics are sung in Swedish, but tap into an elemental, universal language of sound. Part melancholy, part pop, & part dance, Ditt Inre excel equally at textured intimacy & lavish ambient house blissouts. Refining & updating the Swedish summer beach party blueprint, En Värld I Brand introduces a tender, illuminating & romantic sound world that`s open to explorers and dreamers alike.En Värld I Brand EP out digitally only on 05.29.

04. 03

Italian electronic duo M+A (Michele Ducci + Alessandro Degli Angioli) follow up their things.yes album with an remix EP featuring Nedry, Polinski, Emay & Joycut. They also include a very fine cover of “Paper Planes” by M.I.A. “These are the 4 remixes created after the release of Things.yes. These remixes are not like ordinary remixes, they are our own tracks and, at the same time, they are somebody else’s. We’re not consistent with our songs, let alone with others’. What seemed like a minor and hasty project, ended up fascinating us. We instantly realised that they were turning into something more than simple remixes. This ep is not just a collection of remixes, it has also become a little “+” of new pieces. A little “+” that gave us the chance to say more Things that -for lack of space- we were not able to say in our album. Yes. a remix is made by many hands and no hands at all. Yes. a remix does not have to have any respect whatsoever for the original song. and Yes. at the end of the day our remix is like a new piece.” - M+A Pre-order the EP on their official site & download the Nedry remix below. The duo is also giving away a free mp3 of one of their earlier tracks, “My Super8”. Watch the stunning video created by Rino Stefano Tagliafierro, who also created the video for M+A’s track “Bam”. The video is comprised entirely of an animated sequence of 300 morphing photographs creating a surreal, dreamlike story of the love/hate relationship between 2 sisters.

Teen Daze + electronic + experimental + dream pop + european tour +

03. 29

Teen Daze is about to embark on a European tour during April, & is releasing a rare EP especially for this occasion! 25 tour-exclusive CDs overall will be available so be sure to get your hands on one.“The three tracks that make up this EP are all extensions of ‘All Of Us, Together’, meaning that they were created right around the same time, with the same mindset. Though the material I’ve created since the making of ‘All Of Us’ is taking a bit of a different form, this EP is a strictly dance-oriented affair. Each track pays homage to three more recent sounds that have infiltrated modern electronic: “Fantasy” namechecks one of my favourite groups as of late, Teengirl Fantasy, and their addictive spaced-out, house influenced sound; “11:11″ is my love-letter to Johnny Jewel, and the whole Italians Do It Better crew; “Ellie” digs into the Rhodes-lead, disco-house vibe, that rules those classic French House records. Needless to say, I’m not afraid to wear my influences on my sleeve. I’m excited that all three of these tracks get to see the light of day, even if it is through this ‘rare’ release.” – Teen Daze If you don’t get a chance to purchase the EP at one of the following shows, then don’t worry. You’ll be able to purchase it digitally in the coming months! Either way, do catch Teen Daze live…all dates after the break.

Best Coast + dream pop + indie rock +

03. 26

On May 14, Best Coast will release their highly anticipated new album The Only Place. This follow-up to 2010’s acclaimed Crazy For You finds the proudly Southern Californian duo of Bethany Cosentino + Bobb Bruno maturing in both their sound & perspective. While Crazy For You was a nostalgic tribute to teenage feelings, The Only Place finds front woman Cosentino starting a transition into adulthood. “I’m trying really hard to grow up,” she says. “I’m trying to let go of my bad habits and the immature things I still drag around with me.” Of course this adjusting comes with uncertainty + self-doubt, 2 feelings at the emotional center of an album that also features a love song to her home state of California in the title track. All encompassed in the memorable album cover, derived from a 1913 sheet music illustration paying homage to the golden state. As with all of Best Coast’s previous recordings, on The Only Place Cosentino handles all songwriting, lyrics, vocals + rhythm guitar, while multi-instrumentalist Bobb Bruno plays lead guitar, bass & drums. What’s new this time is their decision to work with producer + composer Jon Brion. A revered figure in the music world, Brion has collaborated with artists including Fiona Apple + Kanye West & created the scores for such films as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind & Punch-Drunk Love. Recorded at Capitol Records’ famed Studio B, The Only Place features a cleaner + richer sound than other Best Coast releases. Many of the songs’ arrangements are detailed with subtle percussion & unexpected instrumentation. Intricate but never overworked, the biggest change from previous releases is how it showcases Cosentino’s voice, this time letting it ring clear, unhidden by distortion & reverb.
