And here we go again... There's a lot of up=beat positive sounding songs in here, so I'm going for the exuberance of The Go! Team's "Pow" as track of the week.

Misguided

Norwegian group Fred Paa Jord return with a fresh new jam that was built for
enjoying in the sun. A gentle but euphoric track, carefree and meandering melodies are layered over buoyant percussion to craft a dreamy little summer number.

Bysykkel was created with the idea of feeling the freedom of bicycling; serving as a tribute to the “city bike”, the track was recorded on May 1 st 2020, or Labour Day.

Following their 2019 debut single ‘Bare Være Fri’, and 2020 release ‘Silkeruten,’
‘Bysykkel’ is slightly more refined, making it perfect for those deep home-listening sessions. Describing their music as “peaceful music for peaceful people,” Fred Paa Jord are cooking up a harmonious storm - and there’s much more where this came from.

Cut Me Down

The legendary US soul-funk act released three albums on Columbia in the 70s, including the anthem 'Come Go With Me'. Fast forward to 2021 and the band have come up with a brand new song with a positive message in the shape of gospel-tinged 'Work It Out'. The Pockets were so impressed with Dave Lee’s remix of 'Come Go With Me' on his Remixed With Love project that they asked him to work his magic on their new release. Mr Lee has managed to tease in some of their classic old sound into the instrumentation.

@holiday-ghosts single 'Total Crisis' from forthcoming album 'North Street Air' - out May 21st.

The new single was written by occasional member of the band Charlie Murphy.  "Total Crisis was written before the world descended into an actual total crisis. It’s about deciding whether you can live with a personal problem, or whether it should be the catalyst for a big change." says Charlie.

Get Up Sequences Part One

Long-time (3+ years!) curator of a regular weekly 10 track playlist of legit, (mostly) new tracks from Soundcloud, dug up here, there and everywhere. The lists always start out as 10 tracks, but some subsequently get pulled from Soundcloud by the band/artist or the label, so don't blame me for any short lists!
