El Perro Del Mar Tours with Peter Bjorn and John


We've written about our excitement for the new El Perro Del Mar record Love is Not Pop that comes out October 20th via The Control Group.

Announced today, are dates with Peter Bjorn and John to complement the already announced solo dates a Nov 9th show at Joe's Pub in New York and a Nov 23rd show at LA's Hotel Cafe.

New El Perro Del Mar due 10/20

Swedish songwriter El Perro Del Mar (Sarah Assbring) returns on October 10th with her third record Love is Not Pop coming out on the Control Group label. El Perro Del Mar will play two headline US shows in NY and LA and tour with Peter Bjorn and John on their N. American dates in November. Assbring's first two full-length efforts, 2006's eponymous debut and 2008's From the Valley To the Stars, were sweetly melancholy affairs showcasing Assbring's charming voice and solid songwriting talent. The records succeeded in their ability to flirt with a certain twee-pop quality without ever succumbing to it's dangerous ways. Songs from her new record are streaming at myspace. Of the new record Assbring states:
I'd spent some bad times in New York and some good times in Paris and both these cities have made a great imprint on this album and my current outlook on love. I've decided to call it 'Love Is Not Pop' - the songs on the album are all pop songs and they are all about love. But naturally, it is not all as simple as that. As much as pop can be love and vice versa - I'd like to believe that love goes so much deeper than a pop song.

New Anna Ternheim Single

As we drift in a sea awash with noise and distortion, sometimes even hardened bloggers enjoy something crystalline and pretty. Enter Anna Ternheim. While we have yet to hear the whole of her new album, Leaving on a Mayday (August 11, Verve Forecast) this lead track "What Have I Done" is a pleasant, if not a little darker experience. It has a pulsing gait, accentuated with Ternheim's voice and harmonies. Bjorn Yttling of Peter, Bjorn and John produces with a subtle touch giving the track a little edge and just enough bite. While not breaking any musical barriers here I guess this one falls under guilty pleasure, but who doesn't like a little sugar in their coffee?

Paper Make US Debut - Offer MP3


It seems like there's something new from over there every day. With their Tallest Men and Fever Rays, Sweden just keeps on turning out new projects. The funny thing is, they are (almost) all good. So, next up is Paper. Hailed as the missing step between Joy Division and New Order and counted as one of Peter Bjorn and John's favorite bands, people have started to take notice. Their sound can be described as post-punk, but really it's full force, loud-as-hell, rock and roll that channels all of the great rock influences from the aforementioned Joy Division to Wire to The Clash. Paper will be playing their first US shows at Cake Shop in NY on March 4-6 behind their new record An Object released through Swedish label, Novoton. Definitely worth checking out.

The Golden Filter

[mp3]
We've been highly anticipating more music from the ultra-elusive NY group The Golden Filter. They have been all over of-late releasing tracks and remixing Peter Bjorn & John, Cut Copy, and the awesome Empire of the Sun. They come from the Italians Do It Better school of electro- disco-pop, which is honestly damn fine with us. With Infectious melody, well produced beats and lovely female vocals The Golden Filter are fixed to be one of the more under the radar standouts of this genre in 2009. We're heading out to Le Poisson Rouge this Friday to catch The Golden Filter in one of their first North American shows. After NY, they head to Europe and SXSW before setting out on a tour with the Presets, which finds them back at Webster Hall April 3. The LPR show is being presented by Friction NYC and also includes Heartsrevolution, Pink Skull, and DJ's Finger on the Pulse. Going to be awesome. Tour dates and a video after the jump.
