Elektrisk Gønner – Money

Elektrisk Gønner

Well, this is a cool story about Elektrisk Gønner.

The project was originally formed in 2010 when producer Benjamin Løzninger teamed up with a young unknown Danish singer named to record an album remotely over the course of 12 days from either side of the Atlantic Ocean.

As we know, MØ then went on to be signed to Sony, following which Benjamin relocated to Brooklyn and recruited singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and model Skyler Cocco for the new Elektrisk Gønner line-up.

One of the new tracks is called ‘Money’ and it’s out now via Kaleidoscope / Nordic Records.

IYES – Glow

IYES - Glow

IYES – Glow

IYES is Brighton girl/boy duo Josh Christopher and Czech-born Melis Soyaslanová.

It’s been a bit quiet on the IYES front, but they are finally back with a stunning track titled ‘Glow’.

The Kenny McKracken video for ‘Glow’ is just as cool as the recent Sony Xperia Z3 advert that the track has been featured in.

“The idea for the video was for us to look like we’re made from moondust, which we reflect,” says Melis. “We wanted something strange and amazing and unexpected that you can’t take your eyes off because you have to find out how it ends. We’re super proud of it.”

‘Glow’ is out on 22 December via Love by Mistake (a new imprint of Sony records run by the band) but can be pre-ordered on iTunes now.

Sounds like: The XX Phoria, James Blake, Niki & The Dove, Chvrches, Ellie Goulding, Ben Khan
