Indiia – “Sunny Day”

Swedish act Indiia is all about the good vibes, as evidenced by their new indie-pop track “Sunny Day.” The duo considers the song a “psychological experiment,” as they both had just started taking anti-depressants before getting down to work. The duo was pleased with the results, as “Sunny Day” came out sounding airy and carefree. Fans of Foster the People or Grouplove would dig this jam. Let your worries go while you stream “Sunny Day” below.

Fenech-Soler – “Kaleidoscope”

London duo Fenech-Soler have a snappy new song on their hands with “Kaleidoscope.” Brothers Ben and Ross Duffy are the creative masterminds behind Fenech-Soler, combining sunny synth instrumentals with a peppy drumbeat and pop-minded vocals. “Kaleidoscope” is an ode to true love and would appeal to fans of DNCE, The Chainsmokers, or Pharrell.

No Middle Name – “Fading Photo”

No Middle Name is a.k.a. David Bailey who is creating just about the most pleasant indie rock we’ve ever heard. His style brings to mind Whitest Boy Alive, Sea Wolf, or Say Hi. We recommend his latest jam, “Fading Photo,” which comes with an equally pleasant music video. It also features some impressive choreography – def worth a watch. If you want to learn more about No Middle Name, check out his Tumblr.

Rod Ladgrove – “Home Is Just A State Of Mind”

Australian folkster Rod Ladgrove hit us hard with the emotive vibes in “Home Is Just A State Of Mind.” Coupled with a scenic music video, Rod’s gentle crooning and simmering instrumentals give the song a deep, introspective vibe, almost to the point of being meditative. Fans of M. Ward, The Antlers, or Elliott Smith would love this jam. Rod has had over two million spins on Spotify this calendar year – give him some more love here.

SLØTFACE – “Bright Lights”

Norwegian quartet SLØTFACE caught our ears with the impossibly catchy “Bright Lights” Fans of Bully, Interpol, Death Cab For Cutie, or a perfect combination of all three would dig SLØTFACE – “Bright Lights” combines a calculated, spiraling riff with a pulsating bassline and signature female vocals. Lyrical highlight: “There are about five people I can sit this close to.” SLØTFACE has an impressive catalog – check it all out here.

Glass Spells – “Without Your Laws”

SOCO recently spit out a gnarly band known otherwise as Glass Spells. “Without Your Laws” is a dirty little number that emphasizes an extremely funky bass line and the anarchical sprechgesang of their vocalists. GS’s punk/funk is raucous and fun, reminiscent of Metz, Screaming Females, or Mallwalkers. Pump your fists while you jam out to “Without Your Laws” below.

Lake South – “Renters”

We’re digging the gentle synth pop of “Renters” by Auckland act Lake South. About the song, Lake says, “‘Renters’ is a love song. It’s about loving the place you call home, about realising the connection you have to the place you grew up in, and respecting those who let you have this connection. It’s about the people who make a city worth living in.” Well said, Lake. Fans of Washed Out, Porches, or tricked-out bicycles will enjoy the music vid for “Renters.” Keep your eyes open – Lake South’s album is due out in March of next year.

pierre XO – “Disappear”

Pierre XO is a self-taught artist, painter, model, musician, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. Pierre should probably add “music video star” to that already impressive resume. In the video, Pierre stumbles around a practice space in a destructive mood. It’s a perfect compliment to the goth-tinged synth pop of “Disappear.” Check out “Disappear” via iTunes.

Cityman – “Hold On”

Cityman‘s “Hold On” is a continuation of their already successful pop electronica. Their debut album combines 80s synth-pop with strong and melodic pop songwriting. His signature Scandinavian touch is the cherry on top. Fans of Holy Ghost and Classixx will dig Cityman’s vibes. “Hold On” is out now via Solina Records.

Sofi Tukker- “Déjà Vu Affair (Bishiclet Remix)”

Brooklyn indie/disco producer Bishiclet sent us over his remix of Sofi Tukker’s “Déjà Vu Affair” and we are vibing on it hard. Bishiclet gives the song a synthy disco bassline and a vintage sounding bell-filled drumbeat. The result is a contemporary and catchy remix with vintage flavor. If you’re feeling froggy, check out Sofi Tukker as well.

Our Time – “The End feat. Kurt Mantheiy (Lope & Kantola Remix)”

Don’t mind the mouthful of our title! “The End” is a synth jam originally by Our Time (feat. Kurt Mantheiy). Lope & Kantola took a whack at a remix which wound up in our inbox. This particular song is another from the Audiophile Live sessions, which have yet to dissapoint. “The End” is a blast of synthy hooks and shiny production. Fans of Daft Punk or DNCE will be pleased by this one. There are many ways you can enjoy “Our Time” – check them all out here.

Nocturnal Tapes – “Pieces”

Tech-house act Nocturnal Tapes sent the dark and brooding “Pieces” to us. Let’s just say… we’re feeling it. After the success of their first few singles, “Pieces” finds the duo exploring a new sound. They mix a knack for driving house beats with a true ear for pop sensibility. Fans of The Chemical Brothers or Basement Jaxx would be into Nocturnal Tapes.
