Indie Pop | The Sifting Pan

Yip Deceiver give us Obnoxia from Canada

Here is another hidden gem with less then 500 listeners. This time exploring the always exciting genre of Indietronica. For those of you unsure of what Indietronica is look no further then this very song. Obnoxia is a great example with its synth high note bleeps and electro beats and all the while manages to keep that pacing and lyrical style so integrated in the Indie musical genre I can’t help but to draw comparisons between Yip Deceiver and Passion Pit. To me the Yip Deceivers have all the pep and catchiness of their counter part, but is just a little more tame in the vocal style when compare to the ridiculous falsettos of Michael Angelakos of Passion Pit. Regardless of how much they seem like Passion Pit, Yip Deceiver have all the workings to go off and make a name for themselves in the ever shrinking world of musical variety.

Dance and Forget make us dance and not forget from Sweden

Talk about a hidden gem, according to last.fm this track has been listened to by less then 500 people. Lucky for you I love sharing and Can I Still Dance is definitely a track worth sharing. Right from the start you can tell there is something special going on here. That playful bass draws you in then helps to push you off on a pleasant journey through indie pop land. A catchy chorus and fun filled beat, things don’t get much more blissful then this. The band Dance and Forget are as independent as they come and just put out a self-released album earlier this year named none other then Dance and Forget. With songs like this Dance and Forget can not stay hidden forever and I don’t see how a world exposed to this joyful 7-piece could be such a bad thing.
