Despite being GD, this is a very nice, long and thought-out interview. Of course, there's still the usual silly GD touches, but they don't take away from it at all. Recommended reading!

MP3: Anna Leong - They will know us
Anna Leong is a band, not a person. Well, it's probably the name of an actual person somewhere out there, but it's the band I'm talking about today. Some of you might remember these guys from the "Fever" single that they released on Chalksounds way back when and now they're back with their self-released debut album. Lots more bands are making the decision to go DIY these days and I salute them - it's never easy, but it's often the path that makes the most sense. If you're serious about your music, why not put your own money behind it? That's what drives me. I'm definitely not expecting much in return - I've got a dayjob to pay the bills.
But that's enough biz talk, the music is what matters after all. Anna Leong flirts with both country/folk and indiepop, more often coupling up with the latter, but never fully turning their back on their other love. The songs are all built around a simple strumming guitar and vocal line - everything else is purely icing on the cake. They could've just as easily taken it the other way and layered some steel guitar and changed up the rhythm section a bit to make it full-on country. With such pure, straightforward songwriting, anything is possible.
The new album "After the forest fire" comes out January 31 and I should hopefully have a few copies in-stock by then.

MP3: Emmon - Wake up time
Paris frontwoman Emma Nylén has been working on solo music and DJing under the name Emmon for awhile now, but it was only recently that she signed with Wonderland Records and released her proper debut single "Wake up time". If you're familiar with Paris (maybe you heard their track on "Reader's companion volume two"?), Emmon's music won't be a big surprise. The only real difference is that instead of it being synth-heavy, new-wavey pop, it's all synth/all the time now. It's just as catchy, too. I was kind of hoping that "Wake up time" would be a bit more of a barn-burner, especially considering the title and lead single status, but alas it was not meant to be. It's good, but more in a nice and pleasant sort of way. I wanted set-your-feet-on-fire. Still, there's always hope that someone will crank out a banging remix as I imagine that adding a little oomph to the kick along with pushing up the BPms could do a lot of good. The Thermostatic remix on the single comes mighty damn close, but it's not quite there. On the other hand, the Helm downbeat remix takes things in the complete opposite direction, stretching it out and transforming it into a languid power-ballad. That's kinda hot too, but for entirely different reasons. Some days I find I actually prefer the latter, but it's not the sort of thing I'd put out as the first single. Second single, maybe.
