Posted on February 11, 2018 by Very Warm

A tropical coral reef bustles with activity below a small cruise ship full of boozy old folks partying and playing shuffle board. Another entry into the city pop ledger of tunes from February 2018 madness – this one is fully … Continue reading →

Posted on February 10, 2018 by Very Warm

Driving through your hometown after a long road trip with a nice mix of nostalgia and “get me the hell out of here” running through your veins. So incredibly psyched for the upcoming Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks record. I … Continue reading →

Smerz – “Half life” [2017]

Posted on February 9, 2018 by Very Warm

Medusa is in the club and she’s ready to fuck you up. Along with SASSY 009, Smerz was one of my favorite new groups from 2017. Their brand of dizzying, uncanny electronic pop is so unique and infectious. It makes … Continue reading →

De Lux – “Keyboards Cause We’re Black And White” [2018]

Nami Shimada – “Sunshower” [2004]

Posted on February 6, 2018 by Very Warm

More pop from Japan, this time from Nami Shimada and the techno stylings of Soichi Terada, who is most known for his work on the Ape Escape soundtracks (in my mind, anyway). This song rips and will definitely get you … Continue reading →

Realizing that a lot of these posts for February are going to be about Japanese pop music from the 80s, primarily labeled as “city pop.” This is the intro track to one of my favorite pop albums of the era, … Continue reading →

Lou Rebecca – “Neverending” [2018]

Posted on February 4, 2018 by Very Warm

Another entry to great 2018 tracks, from Holodeck Record’s Lou Rebecca. Intoxicating synth pop with serious Glass Candy feels added in there. Lou Rebecca’s new self-titled EP is solid – I’m very likely going to feature it on my albums … Continue reading →

Lane 8 – “No Captain (ft. Poliça)” [2018]

Posted on February 3, 2018 by Very Warm

Another early 2018 standout track comes from CO-based electronic vibeman Lane 8, featuring Channy from Poliça. I wouldn’t say I’m always a huge fan of this type of music, but this song really hits. I’ll give most of the props … Continue reading →

Posted on February 2, 2018 by Very Warm

I’m going to try and post something every day during the month of February, usually consisting of either brand new music or folks that I’ve never posted about before. Yesterday I posted about the brand new Negative Gemini EP, so … Continue reading →
