Greatest Hits' latest summer drunk funk cut "Girls On The Beach" is not in any way resembling
this, but instead of mournfully longing for all those sunbathing females what about just dancing around in the sand for a change? Right. Mering's latest mouthful of irresistible synth madness has first been dropped as part of
Foggy Girls Club's
Summer End Music Selection. Get it
here. A video will follow sometime soon.

As the experimental projects
kikiilimikilii and
Gross Bite weren't enough (we've written about both of them earlier, actually), another noisy, experimental slash electronic soundwave has recently started to take shape by the same restless minds of Paris' suburbs — this time going under the moniker
Feu Machin. I can't avoid giving away a few thoughts to the experimental legends Battles when listening to their first EP
Rhino (released on
Ideal Crash yesterday), whose latest record
Glass Drop apparently has been a little inspiration to the trio. Feu Machin still shows off a strong link to the band member's earlier projects however, but are now definitely experimenting with a much more playful, almost childish sound than ever. In a good way, of course.
Stream the album via their
bandcamp page or order the extremely limited edition cassette from
here. Also, below is a little video to get you even more weirded out.

At the end of August the multimedia artist Félicia Atkinson dropped the mini album O-RE-GON via bandcamp, that was recorded on one rainy day in Oregon, Portland in July 2010. Containing two tracks that spins for approximately fifteen minutes each, Atkinson approaches a hidden space in time with her mellow, whispering voice and melancholic piano playing, completed with beautiful, ambient layers.
Pre-order the CD via Home Normal.

Malmö's folk-pop trio
Solander, whom recently released their second album
Passing Mt. Satu via
A Tenderversion Recording, are finally dropping the first official music video from the record, which we were lucky enough to get an exclusive premiere of. The whole thing was shot near the Tullgarn Castle south of Stockholm back in June by the Dutch filmmaker Iris Piers. Forget all about the cold season approaching us and embrace these lovely summer memories from Sweden's finest trio below.

When we last heard from the Melbourne based producer
Naminé, it was when he dropped his second EP
Neon via bandcamp back in February, following the dreamy track "Spacific Ocean" of which you
might remember was on repeat in the blogsphere last fall. The latest creation of Darcy Baylis might be a lot colder than what we've heard him producing so far, as he buries almost all traces of 'chillwave' and instead unveils a more minimal, less reverb-infused sound that already started to evolve throughout
Neon. We're quite excited to hear what he's up to next.

Our good friends at the experimental pop label
Cascine put out this beautiful video of
Wintercoats' brand new single "Working On A Dream" a few days ago (directed and edited by
Feel Good Lost), which together with the smooth ambience of Wintercoats make a perfect escape from these stressful weekdays.
Wintercoats' debut EP
Sketches will be released digitally and physically (12 inch vinyl) on
Cascine at the end of the month. In the meantime, the single "Working On A Dream" is available as a free download via
Soundcloud to satisfy your listening pleasures.

From the heart of England comes the 'sleepy folk' soundscaper Jamie Russel aka Skye Wide Sea, producing beautiful, bedroom recorded tunes a little in the veins of our very own Holy Spirits, one could say. Russel's first EP Golden Small carries along a breathing, ocean-like sound, which makes me think of waking up in the purity of morning light (surrounded by the smell of clean sheets and old books), while waves are crashing somewhere in the distance. You get the picture.
Download the mini-EP for free here.
