This will probably the first and last time I mention them since they are more of an American band than otherwise: ex-Junior Senior member Jesper mortensen (aka Junior/I Scream Ice Scream) has a new NYC-based group with fellow Dane Anders Christiansen and two American ladies called make Out and you can hear their debut single "I don't want anybody that wants me" at myspace: myspace.com/makeoutwithfacebook" target="_blank">https://www.myspace.com/makeoutwithfacebook
Sounds pretty damn tepid to me, but there you go. Let us never mention their name again.

I am excited to premiere a new track today from Penny Century, still one of my absolute favorite Swedish indiepop acts and yet somehow, still also currently unsigned. But let's not dwell on that travesty and instead dig into the music, a track entitled "Fiver" which they describe as "perhaps not the most radio-friendly song," but one that best exemplifies the "difference between this album and the last." Which is not to say that the difference is really all

KiteKite's m/n/26732-kite-s-t-ep-lyckan-progress-productions">first EP is spot on -- on that effort, their particular brand of pop is so delicately run along electro-pop avenues that many others can't seem to navigate as deftly, and "my girl and I", that first effort's brilliant detour, has continued to haunt me ever since my first listen. Fast forward a to "III" and Kite are still doing it like no one else. m/n/34998-kite-jonny-boy">"Jonny Boy" is about as captivating an offering as one could ask for; "A little more time" does so much with relatively little, its seeming effortlessness and efficiency in stark contrast to the crude mass of messy, overly ambitious electronic music out there; and closer "Castle of sand", Kite's fatalistic anthem -- "Everyone gets what I don't understand, so I keep building my castle of sand" -- rounds out a solid outing. While there isn't a weak track on the record, this release doesn't quite get out of the shadow of that first unrivaled offering, yet that speaks more to the strengths of that record, not to weaknesses on "III".

Burning Ambulance reviews the expanded reissue of motorpsycho's "Timothy's monster", which is especially interesting as it's written by someone with an admitted ignorance of the band's long career, thus coming to the music with absolutely no prejudice and/or preconceived notions: mbulance.com/2010/11/08/motorpsycho/" target="_blank">https://burningambulance.com/2010/11/08/motorpsycho/
