[NEW]: “Waterfalls” by Mr. Little Jeans

This afternoon, Mr. Little Jeans released her cover of Paul McCartney’s “Waterfalls,” continuing the oceans theme begun with last month’s “Oh Sailor.”

“Sea” by Roosevelt

“Sea” by Roosevelt is one of my favorite songs right now.

I discovered them while I was in the UK in February through the magic of the record label Greco-Roman.

Taking on the same kind of beachy sounds of bands like Surfer Blood, DIIV, and Swim Deep, Roosevelt then branches out to add in a disco-inspired bassline turning it into one of the danciest beach songs to rain down from the SoundCloud.

“Wooden Chair” by Angus Stone – Covered by Lily Pejon

Lily Pejon is Portland‘s sultry frontwoman. When she’s not singing with electro beats, this Parisienne does covers of Angus Stone songs:

“Diamond II (More Erect)” by Plaitum

Blood diamonds are terrible. Rihanna’s “Diamonds” is overplayed.

Norwegian electropop newcomers Musique Le Pop combine soft Say Lou Lou style vocals with Charlie XCX style newtro beats to get their feet in the door of Scandinavian electro.

With only 247 Facebook fans but a haunting electro sound reminiscent of this music era’s other Scandinavian musicians such as Mr. Little Jeans of Norway, The Knife of Sweden, Mø of Denmark, Musique Le Pop is sure to start getting more indie famous.
