Twiggy Frostbite – Heroes

A little sullen toytronica to tickle the ear lobs from Twiggy Frostbite, which is the new project from Elin of The Deer Tracks.   Great vocals again from Elin on this track.   Anyone who enjoys the likes of Múm, Portishead, Sigur Rós, Mazzy Star, or The Knife will find something to fall in love with on this track.

Press:

Twiggy Frostbite took shape in the spring of 2006, inspired by the London Underground, and the music evolved to something unique. The untamed tones and frosty noise of the northern Swedish coast meet the acoustics of the tube and create a dreamlike atmosphere.

Twiggy Frostbite has its roots in Gävle and shares members with The Deer Tracks and Grizzly Twister. The debut album “Through Fire” will arrive in the winter of 2009 and is a melodical journey from doldrums to hurricane.

New track from Psapp: Psapp – Fix It

This track is taken from their upcoming forth studio album (The Camel’s Back), which is scheduled to be released on October 28.

“Fix It”, is a fun track that is upbeat and slightly wonky, but in a good way!
Psapp – Fix It

from wiki:

Psapp is an experimental electronica band. The band, a duo consisting of members Carim Clasmann and Galia Durant, are sometimes credited with inventing a musical style known as toytronica, a form of electronica made with toys and toy instruments (the band uses toy guitars, flutes, and a chicken they named Brunhilda). They have released three albums (Northdown, Tiger, My Friend and The Only Thing I Ever Wanted) and five EPs (Do Something Wrong, Rear Moth, Buttons and War, Hi and the iTunes-exclusive Early Cats and Tracks). They composed the song Cosy in the Rocket, the main theme on the hit medical-drama TV series Grey’s Anatomy. Some of their other songs have been used in other hit American TV shows such as The OC and Nip/Tuck as well as the UK Channel 4 TV show Sugar Rush.

Psapp are known for their humour on stage, throwing toy cats (hand-made by the band) into the audience.
