Over the weekend, Helena Deland opened for Iggy Pop at Paris' ARTE Concert Festival, and luckily for all of us and our collective wellbeing, the always brilliant La Blogothéque crew was there to capture the magical evening as only they could...
Norway's Otha quickly established herself as one of our favorite new artists on the strength of last year's empowering and hypnotic dance-pop tracks "One of the Girls" + "I'm On Top", and today she graces us with another exhilarating club anthem -- and her first new release of 2019 -- in "Tired and Sick"...

As we come up on 15 years existing as a blog, we are pleased to present our favorite releases of the decade.

It's a relic of an era that feels like an eternity ago, but one thing he said still rings true: "We have lived through this. Now we shall reflect upon this".
Our official apocalyptic 2019 summer jam™ gets a delightfully chilly vid from esteemed filmmaker Pete Ohs, who came out of music video retirement for this one (you might recall Pete's work on this all-time proto-chillwave classic, as well as his vids for Best Coast, Wavves, and others)...
Panda Bear comes through with a legit banger in his thumping, trap-laced new single (and massive recent live favorite) "playing the long game". Noah says the track is "about a brief series of thoughts I had one morning about who I am, what I’m doing, and where I’m going." Video directed by Fernanda Pereira:

Hana Vu drops her most Hana-y -- and thus, her best -- video yet with the dream-like, Peter Ferris Rosati-directed visuals for emotional new single "Outside". The vid was premiered today by REFINERY29, who said that, despite the song's undeniable tinge of melancholy, Hana's songs "don't stay sad; they swell and compress likes the waves in the ocean." Hana Vu's Nicole Kidman / Anne Hathaway double EP is coming October 25th on Luminelle. Watch below:
