So much great new stuff out now! Two pop ingénues (or vamps) have musical chops to impress, starting with J.Fla with “One Sweet Day in Paris” from her new EP ‘Moon Eater’ and Mikayla Geier who shot the video in Paris for the ultra catchy gem “Piano in the Sky” which kind of echos the sound of Sugarplastic in the chorus. Love the video, even though the ending is kinda sad. Then we go to a remastered ‘Box’ EP by the band Jacks. This has a retro-pop feel even though it was originally recorded a few years ago. Next, Stacy! is an Amsterdam band with a lo-fi power pop sound, reminds me of those Italian power pop bands like Radio Days. The Needmores is a domestic gem, with plenty of energy and melodies to match “Side X Side” is a great starter here. Of course who can forget that power pop princess Vibeke Saugestad has the full EP out now and every track here is a gem. Enjoy!
