Icona Pop: We Got the World

There's been lots of love for Icona Pop on Stark over the years, but this is the first time we've every used a Swedish embed code. Their self-titled new EP is out now, and sounds like they have arrived at the fully realized sound they've been striving for.

Savages Tonight

London's all female Savages are quickly building heat this week during CMJ along with others such as: Icona Pop, You Won't, Deap Vally, MSMR, MØ, Guards, and Kate Earl. With a definitive post-punk edge, solid mgmt team, and a reportedly piercing live show, these women seemed poised for US success - yet, we've all seen how that story can go. We'll be checking them out for the first time tonight at Glasslands w/ Dum Dum Girls.

Icona Pop to Release Debut EP on 10/10

Sun Goes Down feat The Knocks by IconaPop

Longtime Stark favorite, Icona Pop, just announced the release of their debut EP titled, Nights Like This in conjunction with their newest signle, "Sun Goes Down (feat. The Knocks)" available for stream above. It is exciting to see this project moving forward after we had the chance to catch up with the girls via phone interview awhile back. "Sun Goes Down" is a departure from the usual big hooks and heavy choruses a la "Manners," (video here) and "Still Don't Know," so judge this track for yourself. Excited to here what more this Swedish duo has to offer.

Still Don't Know by IconaPop

It was a dreary AM in New York City when I was finally able to connect with Icona Pop's power duo, Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo. Speaking to me via phone from Stockholm, Sweden (where the two hail from) both Hjelt and Jawo were fresh off a video shoot in London for their smash-hit song, "Manners."

It is safe to say this pair has been busy -- after a blitz of a visit to the US back in March where they partook in their boutique, US label, Neon Gold's infamous Pop Shop show (only their fifth live performance ever,) these jetseters shortly landed back in London for their video shoot (no release details revealed.) "Manners" is just one of three songs released in the states; the others include, "Top Rated" and "Still Don't Know" available above. "We recorded 'Manners' one and a half years ago...you think it is just you, your family and friends listening to your music. Then people started looking at our Facebook, YouTube...and we are just [like] wow," Hjelt said. People were and are paying attention as Myspace is how Neon Gold first discovered the two. This was only a taste into the truly humble and sweet world of these two electro-pop music creators.
