Video of the Day #136: Euros Childs

eurosi

A long time favourite Euros Childs is back with a new album Situation Comedy. The Euros Childs albums have never made as huge impact on me as some of the Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci albums. But that’s because Gorky’s were so special, completely amazing and oh so dear to me. It’s hard to reach that same level all the time, but the same magic takes place on Euros Childs albums as well. Maybe not as consistently, but there’s always several great pop songs on each Euros Childs release and they are all so worth hearing. This is one of them. The opening track and lead single Tête à Tête from the new Euros Childs album. Available directly from Euros Childs website.

Video of the Day #135: The Lieblings (instagram music video)

lieblingsi2

Is this turning into a Coma Silvennoinen fansite? Well actually, in some minor way this probably always has been a Coma fansite. But yeah, it’s the same guy singing as in the previous blog entry. The Lieblings has a new video for the song She Motorway. Maybe my favourite song from their great debut album. The video was shot by the members of the audience on their Helsinki concert last week using instagram video. Directed by Kalle Kotila.

Hills release debut single!

Hills

Hills (of Vaasa) actually exists. I heard the name years ago, but I wasn’t sure if Ove Ritola and Coma Silvennoinen were actually planning on releasing something under that name. They didn’t back then, but today Hills (of Vaasa) released their debut single Hello / It Was There. Sounding mighty good as expected. Especially loving the b-side It Was There. You can stream the single on their brand new website. I won’t embed the songs here, because you don’t want to miss those beautiful brides.

Marine Dreams – Corner Of The Eye

marinedreams

If you saw that early sketch for the albums of the year 2013 list, you are aware that I’m very much into the new Marine Dreams album Corner Of The Eye. I guess I can understand if someone thinks this is only good and nothing that special, but I instantly fell in love with this one and I’m in the process of forming a life-long relationship with this lovely little album. In fact, I think Ian Kehoe, the man behind Marine Dreams, must be some kind of pop genius with a fantastic melodic sense. And then you have highly talented Tamara Lindeman (The Weather Station) and Daniel Romano providing harmony vocals. Actually, maybe I find it hard to understand if someone doesn’t find this amazing. It’s sounds so brilliant to me. Corner Of The Eye came out in late september on the great You’ve Changed Records. This is my favourite song Morning. I could listen to this for hours and I probably already have.
