Some pretty cool shit there,how the hell do you find this stuff.

 

Years of searching through different websites and blogs. I developed a love for Synthpop, Electropop, Nu Disco, and anything with a good 80's vibe. I had a few different blogs I would frequent. Many of them posted the same stuff. One eventually quit, and another was too focused on Electronic side. Now I just visit one: Neon Gold Records. There are others, like All Things Go and Pretty Much Amazing, but like I said, a lot of these guys post the same stuff.

Once I find an artist I like, I try to track down all their material. Then I look for anything similar; other stuff they've worked on, been a part of, or are listed as sounding similar to or touring with.

I have collected shit-tonnes of Pop music, but I only share a fraction of it - only the stuff I think someone here might appreciate.

Where are you from, Mr. AOR? Many of these artists might be close to you. Not one that I listen to is from my area.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Here's another track. I came across this last night, and have already listened to it 15 times. The band is called Fenech-Soler, from England, so this name might be more familiar to you lot.

So what's going on here? I always thought this thread was just basically code for "I HATE SUMMER AND I WANT TO RUIN IT BY LISTENING TO AWFUL MUSIC!"

 

... Like those first two dreadful songs. But what's going on, Karpetface? That Smallpools songs is actually pretty damn good. I diggit. Is there any other good music in this thread, or is the rest as awful as the first two songs in your post?

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Nope. It's all shit.

[Geoff]

Nope. It's all shit.

 

Ha, you know I actually believe that.

 

Is the Smallpools album any good?

[KarpetRydOFunk]

 

Nope. It's all shit.

 

Ha, you know I actually believe that.

 

Is the Smallpools album any good?

 

 

They only have a four track EP, and that song isn't even on it.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Back at it.

 

So Smallpools finally released a full length titled LOVETAP!. Here are my favourites.

 

Lovetap!

 

Admission to Your Party

 

No Story Time

 

KiND will appeal to some of those that liked the St. Lucia songs above, or perhaps any MuteMath fans.

 

Gloss

 

Axum

 

Run Wild

 

Social - Drive

 

Fron/Tier - Secret

[KarpetRydOFunk]

The Lawsuits might appeal to any Hall & Oates or Fleetwood Mac fans.

 

Sweet Marcelle

 

Love Is Weight

 

Son & Thief - High & Low

 

Penguin Prison dropped a new album this year -- Lost in New York. His team has been quick to take down videos on FaceTubes, and all the official videos aren't of my favourite tracks, save "Calling Out."

 

Try to Lose

 

Never Gets Old

 

Calling Out (one of the catchiest songs I've heard this year, even if it was released last year)

 

Run It Up

Maroon V - Sugar (I'm probably gonna get shit on for this one, but I actually really like this song. I know it came out last year, but I don't pay attention to Top 40, so I only found out about this when I was asked to throw it on at a wedding.)

[KarpetRydOFunk]

And now for some Afrobeat music that will receive immediate hate from the xenophobes. So, if you don't like foreign languages, don't even bother.

 

The Very Best released their latest album this year. It's called "Makes a King," and it might be their best, yet.

 

Let Go

 

Sweka

 

Kanyale

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Hell, yeah! New track from St. Lucia!

 

Dancing On Glass

[Mr.AOR]

Hell, Yeah! Indeed, Love This.

[Geoff]

Sounds like 80's pop music. Kinda cool.

[Stefan]

Hell, yeah! New track from St. Lucia!

 

Dancing On Glass

 

Yeah, quite nice.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Another new track from St. Lucia. A phenomenal slow jam.

 

Love Somebody

[Kristian]

[Mr.AOR]

Another new track from St. Lucia. A phenomenal slow jam.

 

Love Somebody

 

Love This...

[Mr.AOR]

 

And this.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

 

 

And this.

 

 

Mhm. This is awesome! Never heard of her, but I'mma grab everything she's done. Where's she from? Denmark - just looked it up
