We’ve featured Plushgun before here at TGTF, and if I’m honest I’d kinda forgotten about the amazin’ pop-electro of Brooklyn’s Daniel Ingala. Then this remix landed in my inbox, and I kinda love it. If you’ve been enjoying Starsmith, Penguin Prison (or, dare I say it, Owl City or FrankMusik), you will probably love this a tiny bit.

Bright Light Bright Light, better known to family and friends as Welshman Rod Thomas, is someone we’ve had our eyes on for a while. He did a fantastic remix of TGTF favourites Victoria and Jacob’s debut single, With No Certainty, and now he’s got a single with Boom Bip of Neon Neon, A New Word To Say, which you can download below. Along with Penguin Prison and Starsmith, they’re proving that electro pop can be both fun and credible. Good times. Download the track below, a remix by James Yuill and a remix of Kelis’ Acapella below.

Pete Roe moved to London and was quickly spotted by Laura Marling for his piano-playing skills, becoming an important member of Marling’s touring band. But Roe was discovered by Communion Records, an independent label founded by Ben Lovett of Mumford and Sons, Kevin Jones of Cherbourg and producer Ian Grimble, and will be touring the UK in June in support of his upcoming EP, ‘The Merry-Go-Round’.
Have a listen to a track from the EP, ‘Bellini’. It’s a perfect example of what folk music done right sounds like – spot on acoustic guitar and spot on vocals sung with the greatest of emotion. After seeing him open for Laura Marling last week, I’m convinced. You will be too.
Oooops, attached the wrong MP3! Have attached the correct one now!

Brooklyn-based electronic act Javelin released their debut album ‘No Mas’ last month and have now released the second single from it, ‘Off My Mind’. Xylophones and electronic beats crunching, this is one eclectic track, just like the rest of the album. And you can grab the track below.
The duo starts their second short tour of the UK on Friday, tour details here.

Okay, I’m really rather stupidly excited for Kele‘s new album, The Boxer, that’s out 21st June. From the three tracks I’ve heard, he’s taken Bloc Party stuff and made it even more dancefloor friendly. Woop.
We can’t post his sensational lead single Tenderoni that’s slaying crowds nationwide (watch a live video here that certainly gets over what a live Kele show is like), but we’ve got the next best thing – a remix of it that makes it sound even huger.

Celebrating almost a decade of existence, Liverpool’s The Coral have a new album, and a slightly fuller sound. The title track from the album is remarkably lush sounding, and perfect for easing you into your Monday morning.
The album ‘Butterfly House’ will be released on 12th July and will be their first since the departure of Bill Ryder-Jones. It will be prefaced by the single ‘1000 Years’ on 5th July.
