MP3: David & The Citizens - 48h
"Are you in my blood?" is the obvious choice for the first single on the new David & the Citizens album "Stop the tape! Stop the tape!". Even on the very first listen there's no doubt that it's one the strongest songs. As for the second best song, my choice would be "48h". It's probably a bit too long to be an actual single without editing the extended outro, but that's also one of the reasons it's so great. It's an epic pop anthem and the way the song builds and flows over its full five minutes is integral to the way it works. Well, maybe a bit could be chopped off the end I guess - the most important part is the triplets in the bridge around the 2-minute mark which leads into a breakdown and a half-time version of the chorus. That's some serious songwriting craft right there. The tricks themselves aren't terribly unique, but that's besides the point. It's the way they're employed that's so good. If you don't have a great song to begin with, you ain't got nothing. And David & the Citizens have an amazing song.

David & The Citizens - 48h
MP3: Élodie - Overload
A good follow-up to yesterday's post on Under Byen is today's mp3 from Élodie. Both bands are female-fronted and could be considered post-rock by the way they embrace slow-building dynamics. The main difference however is that Élodie is more of a pop band. Where Under Byen is unique for their heavy percussion, Élodie soothes with lush, gentle melodies. It's a shame that their new EP "At the end of the line" is the last we'll hear from them - the band recently played their final show at Trästockfestivalen in their hometown of Skellefteå. If you've been at all into any of the other dark and dreamy pop I've been raving about this year such as Lampshade or Namur, then this is definitely up your alley. Not only is there a ton of similar music in this vein being released now, a very high percentage of it is remarkably good. There's more on the way too - keep an eye out for posts on new music Sonores and The Grand Opening in the near future, both amazing bands (and also both IAT.mP3 artists releasing their first official full-lengths).

If you've dug any of the other weirdo-electro-punk Trewetha releases such as I Love You Baby! or The State of Floral Beings, then this is for you.
Speaking of Namur, mainman David Åhlén has laid that project to rest and will be continuing on now under the new moniker Father of Levi. Check out a new song on myspace: myspace.com/fatheroflevi" target=_blank>https://www.myspace.com/fatheroflevi

Peaceville has bought up the rights for all of Katatonia's back-catalogue from Avantgarde music and will be reissuing all of the full-lengths in fancy digipacks with revamped artwork and new liner notes. First up will be the very doomy "Brave murder day" in October which will also include "Sounds of decay" as a bonus track. Peaceville also secured the rights for various old Katatonia sideprojects such as Diabolical masquerade and October Tide and will be doing reissues of those as well. Personally, I'm just excited that I'll finally get a chance to see them live when they tour the US this fall for the first time ever.
