Stream / Download: Now I'm Ready (Loframes Remix) - Keep Shelly In Athens

Loving the bouncing beat and washed out vocals on this new remix of Keep Shelly In Athens' Now I'm Ready by Anglo-French duo Loframes. Rather than apply a full-on dance treatment, Loframes keep some of the laid back feel of the original but take it in a more pop direction and giving Ocean Hope's vocals more prominence.

Check out the mix below - you can currently download it for free from the Soundcloud player.

<3 on Hype Machine: http://bit.ly/1SvrAlI Here's our remix of @KeepShellyInAthens ‘Now I’m Ready’ The title track of their latest album, out now via Friends of Friends (@fofmusic) "arguably the best pop record of 2015" - The Line of Best Fit Bandcamp: tinyurl.com/p8w8d6d Big Cartel: tinyurl.com/o93bpq7 iTunes: tinyurl.com/pxxs53c Spotify: tinyurl.com/pgp3lon Athens-based duo Keep Shelly In Athens have been churning out their idiosyncratic take on pop music since 2010, but 2015’s Now I’m Ready is only their second official LP. At eight songs and 45 minutes, the album strikes a concise, yet imposing figure, each individual effort comprised of enough peaks and valleys to bring the listener to the edge and back again. Lifted off by lead single “Fractals”, Now I’m Ready is not your typical indie effort, un-beholden to tempo and style, the album skips across genre tropes with ease, each track guided by producer RΠЯ’s singular aesthetic and vocalist Myrtha’s unmistakable crescendos. And whether you’re locked into a long road trip, careening around a city or looking over the Mediterranean, Keep Shelly In Athens bring an arresting pathos to the proceedings, felt everywhere from the breakbeat-led madness of “Hollow Man” to the ever-building, hypnotic vocal qualities of “Now I’m Ready”. It’s only the duo’s second official LP, but considering their release history on outlets as diverse as Cascine, Forest Family and Planet Mu, it’s no surprise that their arrival on Friends of Friends is such an unabated success. https://www.facebook.com/keepshellyinathens http://fofmusic.net

Bones is a fantastic new track and video from Icelandic art-pop act Young Karin. Young Karin were formed back in 2013 when Karin Sveinsdóttir met Logi Pedro Stefánsson at an Icelandic talent show. Having released their debut EP N1 on Pannonica in 2014 the band have recently unleashed new EP PYK as a free download. Bones is the lead track from that release and you can check out the video below. I can't get enough of this track and can't recommend it higher:

Stream: Tears - TC4 feat. Onyda

Nice new track from West-Midlands duo TC4 featuring vocalist Onyda. This builds on a several tracks released by producers and multi-instrumentalists Tom Calder and Kate Turley over the past few months. The sweet, dubby melodies here combine with Onyda's great vocal to create something warm and upbeat, in contrast to the heartfelt vocals.

Stream: Pluvia - Prayer

There are hints of both Burial and Machinedrum on this track from Leicester based producer Prayer. A big slab of urban and grime influenced melodic electronica. This is reportedly a taster of what to expect in 2015. The track is a free download - grab it from the Soundcloud player below.
