Good morning Norway, so I've been going through my email, and notice a little too late that I've received two songs form Casiokids; however since both songs are so good I don't mind them being back to back on two separate post. Now Micropops is another band form Norway which also impressed me a lot for their electro pop sound and their sometimes ingenious use of instruments and I think they might have some kind of infatuation with Nintendo, so here you go Norway you've taken over.
Chew Lips has been on the radar ever since they where on Kitsune 7, last week the bloggesphere went gaga after the release of their latest single "Salt Air" today I'm giving in to temptation and posting a few songs by them.
Danny Ross is an New York artist who has been working on his album "One Way" for quite a while. After he finished fundraising for the now president Obama he's dedicated every entire moment to finish hi masterpiece, which will be released in all its glory at the St. Marks Church New York, September 12 accompanied by a 15 piece band. I was able to listen to the full album, which can ended up being a blessing and a curse. My first thoughts where "Great another folk artist", but then I continued to listen to it and I started to truly appreciate the soul of the music, then came the predicament, when artist don't sent stipulations of how many songs I'm allowed to post I normally just pick two of the best ones and post them, that usually works but as I kept on listening I kept on substituting the song I was going to post for the song that I was listening...it's that good!! So after an hour of deliberation here they are my picks (yes they ended up being 3).

They have sent over two songs of their upcoming album for you guys to enjoy and have a look of what this band is capable.

Animal is the latest single by this power electro band, who already have two other songs under their belt (free to preview on their myspace page) but what I particularly like about Animal is the punk undertones mixed with the electro beats.
