All tunes as a Spotify playlist here

Let's run the list shall we?

1.
Undercover Martyn is the second single from the fresh Irish trio Two Door Cinema Club's first album Tourist History. Catchy and upbeat, the positive energy that TDCC gives off is simply irresistible. Spotify Itunes
Here is the official video to the song:


2.
Virgin Mary is the second track from Swedish pop wonder Salem Al Fakir. This is from his newly released third album - Ignore This. An excellent track that have a great melody and lyrics that tell of a failed relationship in a markedly humorous way.
Itunes Spotify

3.
One Life Stand is the title track from the indie electro geniuses known only as Hot Chip. For the recently released forth album the darker tendencies that where present at 2008's Made in the Dark are reinforced and One Life Stand comes off as a very atmospheric experience. Hot Chip effortlessly merge this sound with curious and playful pop and the result in this case is just great! Itunes Spotify

4.
Changes by Van She is perhaps my most recent find. Not terribly familliar with the Australian band Van She I non the less have to capitulate completely when exposed to their flawlessly executed guitar-dance-pop. The track is the second single taken from the groups first album V, from 2008. Itunes Spotify


5.
It Starts is for me the perfect tune to listen to before you rush out the door on you way to the party or the club. Manchester's Alex Metric has been cranking out tunes for a while now but this is truly the latest and greatest. Released on an EP of the same name last year. Itunes Spotify



Next week there will be a new list with, hopefully, five new songs.
Stay tuned.
