Devendra Banhart – Saturday Night The neo-hippie used to produce songs perched from his absurd and lo-fi folk dreams, like Coro Rosie. This time, the single "Saturday Night" which announces the album fresh, expands its repertoire towards an easy-listening without label, ignoring any coherence, remaining itself. That's why we love him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md0000uSgOs Nicolas Jaar – No The Chilean-American electro-house composer returns on October 14 for his new album "Sirens". It can already be streamed. Oh yes, he sounds like genius, and confirms his talent, his languorous and subtly deep universe hits the mark, and fascinates, again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIrdTi7Bzt8 Bon Iver – 29 #Strafford APTS From desperate to unexpected: these are the successive states suffered by Justin Vernon, who is reborn from his existential demons after 5 years of absence. His band Bon Iver is now augmented by his new buddy Messina, who is actually a digital instrument making his voice tortuous and scrambled. Between autotune and real second voice, it gives deconstructed compositions, whose ghostly naking makes it possible to approach the marvelous several times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9utVR5Q67_k The Gaslamp Killer – Residual Tingles How to summarize, it's timeless psyche, it's not really marked out and it can easily get out of your comfort zone. Destructured and mixed with influences from horror movie soundtracks, bass improvisations and Indian sitars, this DJ from LA there is only his head. In short, I put it there, and maybe without warning, like that, in 3 months, you will find yourself putting Gaslamp Killer on an already drunken evening, and being the only one to trip.
Sophie's choice
Midnight Locomotive – Talking with a Stranger During an interview, we had already been magnetized by the brilliant pop of the French trio. And for this new clip of "Talking With a Stranger", we jump with both feet in a resolutely kitsch space atmosphere, the work once again of maestro Fabio Caldironi, also author of the clip No Matter What They Say. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQo8kbpPQjg
Soraya's choices
DNCE – Body Moves After the success of Cake By The Ocean, we find Joe Jonas' band with the groovy Body Moves. The winning formula is still there: a funky Mark Ronson rhythm, some touches of electro and sexy lyrics. The Chainsmokers feat. Phoebe Ryan – All We Know I loved the song Closer which made the American band known.It is therefore with pleasure that I discovered their new single, on which they are accompanied by a new female voice, the young Phoebe Ryan. A real duet for this young artist because her voice and that of Andrew Taggart mingle with each other to complete the melody of this aerial and somewhat hypnotic title. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEi_XBg2Fpk Niall Horan – This Town After the success of Zayn Malik, we wondered what other ex-One Direction would embark on a solo career. And, it would seem, that we now have the answer. While we were waiting for Harry, it is the very young Niall Horan who, armed with his guitar, releases his first single, This Town. A nice walk that will delight fans of 1D, and more generally, lovers of good pop songs, simple but effective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNBlfyYHu80
Victor's choices
Metallica – Moth in Flame A track with heavy and powerful riffs, which will delight fans of one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time! A good taste of "Hardwired… to self destruct" which will be released on November 18. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tdKl-gTpZg Sum 41 – God Save Us All Before hearing a new title of Sum 41 , we always have a little apprehension, as making Punk Pop is perilous today. But this title cleverly meanders between the different traps of the genre. Next step: "13 voices" which will be released on Friday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhlASZXjSbw
