Children of Battles and Crystal Castles, kuduro rhythms and news from France!

Justice.

Oi folks! I've got some really interesting stuff for you lot this Tuesday. I've stumbled across a number of interesting new tunes this past week, and I wanted to share some of them with you lot! It's mainly electronic. I guess electronic music shines in singles, indie shines in albums. At least that's how I feel, although I do cherish a few electronic albums very highly.


Anyway, Justice are back, and ready to fight the fact that their sound is unmistakably the sound of 2008 for many. The entire Ed Banger-posse isn't all that happening as they were back then, and Justice sound very familiar on new single 'Civilisation', which has been premiered in a sports apparel-commercial. Well then, we'll see how they fare this year, with their new album coming up ahead.


The cream of today's crop is perhaps mysterious outfit Just a Number 05272011, and their new tune 'Business'. It sounds like Crystal Castles mating with The Knife and Rainbow Arabia, and is really catchy, and changes ambience quite a few times in an interesting manner.


Ponytails sound like Battles with sprinkles of some of the more obscure tunes of MGMT's 2008 album Oracular Spectacular (which, coincidentally, I heard yesterday for the first time in a few years...). Try and take a listen to 'Easy Peasy', which is pretty nice!


Finally, I'm gonna give some big-ups to a genre I don't mention very frequently, namely the Luanda, Angola born-and-bred kuduro sound, by way of New York's Kingdom. I'm not normally big into ass-shaking floor fillers, but the big, filthy 'Stadium Pass' really moves!


Later this week, I'm gonna be back with a few tunes from acts that have got albums on their way this spring!
