Postcards //// 2 + Reader Giveaway!! Free Swag!!

By -
Week two of Postcards feature here on BC marks another week of strong submissions. Making the top three for the week are Thomas Azier, Eliza and the Bear, and Cajoline. The featured artists fall into the genres of electronic pop, indie rock and nu-disco. As always, keep the submissions coming!

Thomas Azier

The young German producer Thomas Azier (only 24) drops a verdant track with the release of "Angelene." "Angelene" comes as part of his newest project Hylas 002 which is the second installment of his trilogy. The third and final release of a full album is slated for next summer. In the meantime look for Azier to be lighting up the European tour circuit. I have two copies of Hylas 002 on 10" vinyl for a reader giveaway. The first two to email us at bochicrew@gmail.com with their favorite track from hypem during the past week and a pic of a cool looking postcard get the free swag!



Eliza and the Bear

The track "Upon the North" landed in my inbox early yesterday morning. The five-piece from London only formed in 2011 and have since crafted an optimistic, fresh sound. Look for the release of an accompanying video for "Upon the North" after the turn of the year in addition to a Double-A side on February 25th. "Brother Boat" and "Southern Wild" are worth checking out here and here.



Cajoline

The last featured artist, Cajoline, hails from Paris, France, the city of light. Their track "Only Girl" strikes a resemblance to "Cool" by Le Youth. Certainly a track to nod the head to and groove regardless of what you are doing. Cajoline's polished product is even more impressive when you consider that this is their first release.

Haiku Salut - "Glockelbar" [Video]

Derbyshire's Haiku Salut have just released an animated video for "Glockelbar." The last feature we ran on the trio praised the release of "Los Elefantes." "Glockelbar" stems from the same, tranquil vein that has come to represent Haiku Salut. They land somewhere between Message to Bears and Múm . According to the trio, their newest "chronicles the race to death using only an accordion, a glockenspiel and a glitch plug-in." The video, animated and produced by Mitsuo Toyama , portrays a sleeping boy greeted by a giraffe at his window before being taken on a sleepy ride through the cosmos. I couldn't help but be reminded of the Little Prince. Both "Los Elefantes" and "Glockenbar" are featured on the new album, Tricolore . Do yourself and the band a favor by picking it up here !

Postcards VIII

An opening disclaimer: All the creative juice has been sucked from my soul over the couple of days, and I have not felt particularly inclined to write much. I think this is owed to my exiting from the honey moon phase of my experiences in Morocco as I am realizing that the cultural differences are rather profound. Might also be owed to some nostalgic moments looking towards home while listening to my favorite childhood bands, Sum 41 and Blink 182. I have to say I have never loved these bands more than right now. With all of this said, the write-ups will be a bit shorter this week owing to my dearth of energy. The best submissions for this past week include The Underachievers, Eeleye, and An Escape Plan. The Underachievers Part of the Beast Coast movement, the Underachievers have enjoyed some recent success with "The Madhi" and their signing with the cross-coast Flying Lotus label. Part of the 17-track mixtape, Indigioism , "The Madhi" surprisingly i...

Little Daylight - "Overdose" (The Chainsmokers Remix")

Normally I am not one for remixes, but I have had to make some exceptions recently for groups like Religion and now The Chainsmokers. These guys first caught my gaze with their tremendous rehash of Jonsi's "Around Us." If you can take a song by arguably one of the most talented and creative musicians and completely turn it on its head, then I think there is something to be said there. The Chainsmokers just dropped a remix of Little Daylight's "Overdose." Their decision to hone in on "Overdose" stems from the duo hearing the song at a party, looking it up, and then asking Little Daylight for permission. The original garnered considerable buzz and I am sure the remix will follow suit. Happy Listening! Don't forget to get that free download!
