Gold Panda Lucky Shiner Ghostly International Genre: Electronic : Indie UPC: 804297812328 Territories: Americas Release Date: 09.07.10

“I didn’t want to write beats,” says Gold Panda, “I didn’t want bangers. I wanted songs with structure.” And yet, despite Gold Panda’s protests to the contrary, Lucky Shiner is full of bangers- of a kind. Decamping to an idyllic retreat means the album bears trademarks of a pastorally hued Englishness; GP’s two years spent studying Japanese culture, language, and history in Japan also find their way into the music.

Part children’s cartoon, part career retrospective, this is the first Mice Parade album to be released in the band’s second decade of existence. Diverging from the pop sensibilities of Mice Parade’s most recent successes – it is a fresh adventure, all over the map and awash in color; splashes of West African Highlife mingle with Flamenco, Brazilian Jazz, and late ‘80s indie rock.

Bear in Heaven have trapped echos, tremors, winds, and fading light. They’ve unbuttoned sound, and realigned it.

Strange Bedfellows, the third release from The Polyamorous Affair finds the duo offering surprisingly few duets, instead each branching into two distinct styles – Eddie reconnects with his soul roots and traditional songwriting while Sissy taps into dreams and trails off on mystical disco byways. The album is a strangely seductive electronic hybrid laced with haunting guitars and live percussion that pull you in, spellbound.

Les Shelleys Les Shelleys Fat Cat Records Genre: Americana : Indie UPC: 600116999627 Territory: World ex- EU, JP, AU, NZ Release Date: 08.31.10

Swahili Blonde began with Nicole Turley sitting in a room amidst a bunch of instruments and recording equipment she didn’t know how to use.
