You didn't think they made it like this anymore!

Girls.

I know it's the year of retro in indie, but who had seen a 9.3 Girls-album coming? Well, here it is, Father, Sun, Holy Ghost. I haven't heard it in its entirety yet, but judging by tunes like 'Honey Bunny' and 'Magic' (which isn't on Youtube yet, go fetch it on Grooveshark!), it is at least partly well-deserved! Really looking forward to getting into the whole album and hearing what the fuss is about!


A bit in the same alley, although more 80's tinged, is Summer Camp, with this sunny tune called 'Better Off Without You'! Really kitsch, but worth checking out!


Annie Clark, better known as St. Vincent, one of the coolest women in music nowadays, is back in business with her third full length, Strange Mercy. She has always flown slightly under my radar, but 'Cruel' is just bloody amazing and catchy as shit - one of the best new tunes I've heard in a long time!


Speaking of saints, I went to a flea market today, and came home with a few CDs, among them St. Germain's Tourist. That was pretty cool - as 'Rose Rouge' examplifies. Also in the electronic department, this is The Golden Filter and 'Mother' - pretty dark, but really sweet, and featuring organs!


Finally, I heard 'Midnight City' off M83's new album, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming (these Frenchmen sure have a thing for epic album titles...) the other day, and realized I had neglected mentioning it. I had a very short M83 craze this winter, with acclaimed album Saturdays = Youth, and this is very catchy, and not all too nauseating (as M83 can sometimes become) - actually, it's pretty radio-friendly, and could become a minor hit.


Speaking of radio-friendly, did you lot hear Coldplay's new one? Well, don't feel bad about it if you didn't, it's horrible...
