Brooklyn quartet Selebrities make breezy, ethereal tracks lying somewhere near the intersection of dreampop and new wave. “Temporary Touch,” the lead single off their forthcoming sophomore LP Lovely Things, is a brisk pop paean with washy chorus-drenched rhythm guitars, crisp synthetic drums and a lead riff that evokes the magical Flock of Seagulls gem “Space Age Love Song.” Lovers of the John Hughes aesthetic and 80s sound palettes will instantly fall for this gorgeous, romantical track from a band that counts “the mystic haze before the TriStar Horse appears” among its key influences.

Selebrities Lovely Things is due out June 25th on Cascine.

How To Dress Well‘s Total Loss still stands as my favorite album of 2012, so whenever any new piece of music comes out with Tom Krell’s name attached you can bet that my eyes light up like a kid in a candy store. I was particularly excited to hear about his recent pairing with dance music mastermind Jacques Greene on “On Your Side.” Though the track takes Krell a bit out of his comfort zone, Jacques’ delightful uptempo garage house beats and How To Dress Well’s luscious R&B falsetto fit together perfectly. Stream it below.

Jacques Greene’s On Your Side EP comes out June 3rd.

Savoir Adore are back with “Beating Hearts,” the first piece of music to come from the NY duo since signing with Nettwerk. Savoir’s latest track once again launches us into the dream-pop fantasy world of Deidre and Paul. Hit play and let “Beating Hearts” wrap you in a soft blanket of boy-girl vocals, bright guitars and warm synths. Stream it below.

“Beating Hearts” will appear on the re-release of Savoir Adore’s last LP, Our Nature, out June 4th via Nettwerk.

Though their name takes a cue from Game of Thrones, there’s nothing medieval about Greyjoy. The Perth duo — comprised of Karlin Courtney and Matt Crockett — doesn’t look much farther back than the 80s for inspiration, combining shimmering synths, Phoenix-like vocals and DIY production to whip up an entrancing brand of dream-pop. Case in point is their latest track “Idle Thoughts,” which tosses a groovy bass line into the mix for good measure. Stream it below.

What first made me fall in love with Superhumanoids was the band’s clever blend of pop songwriting and elegant, subtly experimental electronica. On new single “So Strange,” however, the LA trio strips back some of the synths and post-production, letting Sarah Chernoff’s unique vocals shine. The track, which was featured on The New York Times Magazine website on Monday, will be included on Superhumanoids’ forthcoming debut album Exhibitionists, out June 11th on Innovative Leisure. Watch a gorgeous live studio performance above, and then stream the original below.

Baths has made a name for himself creating chillwave tunes that pack a heavy punch. The artist né Will Wiesenfeld first made his way into our hearts with “Aminals,” a single off his debut LP, Cerulean. The cute opening sample along with the track’s lush, sun-drenched beat made for a nostalgic treat, bringing back memories of riding my kick-ass big wheel down the street. For the uninitiated, however, “Aminals” does not serve as the most well-rounded introduction to Baths. Wiesenfeld is much more than just a beat maker and a sampler; he constructs luscious beats and uses his beautiful falsetto to hammer home his lyrics of love and lust, not too unlike the song-writing of Ben Gibbard.

On May 28th we will receive Baths’ sophomore album, Obsidian. Having already been teased with the incredible, “Miasma Sky,” Baths decided to once again whet our appetite with, “Ironworks.” The single is another classic example of the Baths we’ve come to adore, complete with piano, drums, strings and that lovely falsetto. Stream it below.

Today we’re delighted to debut the official video for “Farther,” a highlight of Vacationer’s blissful and bewitching 2012 album, Gone. This fan-made montage of concert footage and time-warped technicolor naturescapes is the perfect backdrop for the band’s unique brand of easy breezy beautiful tropical pop. “Farther” is like a lucid dream of fifties AM gold hits, lost Disney soundtrack gems and balearica, sewn together, wafting out of a crackling transistor radio on a desert island in the future. Director Adam Fleck does a lovely job of capturing the track’s delicate blend of bittersweet nostalgia and euphoric surrender to the moment. Watch it above.

Vacationer’s Gone is out now on Downtown Records.

I first saw Cocorosie when they were opening for Bright Eyes on the Digital Ash In A Digital Urn tour back in the day. As sisters Bianca and Sierra Cassidy began their set – playing on synth boards and what looked to be an array of children’s toys – I wasn’t exactly sure what I was listening to, but I was pretty sure that I liked it. So it goes years later with the duo’s new track “After The Afterlife,” off their upcoming album Tales Of A GrassWidow. The track alternates between a delicate piano and slick porno synths while smoky, filtered vocals ooze over top. It’s stark, spacy and a little off-kilter, but as is their habit, these women make that combination seem like the most natural thing in the world.

Tales Of A GrassWidow comes out May 28th via Redeye Distribution.

“Darling Are You Going To Leave Me” is another cut from London Grammar‘s recent Metal And Dust EP. Like the title track, Hannah Reid’s sweet, sultry, soulful vocal is front and center, however on this cut her smoky pipes are supported by lilting trip-hoppy rhythms right from the start. The slight vibrato in Reid’s delivery emphasizes the echoing percussion that seems to be coming from all angles at once, reinforcing the uncertainty in lines like, “I’m still holding onto your waistband / Turn around and kick up the red sand / Summer’s gone and now I’m bleeding / I can tell now you’re thinking of leaving.” Stream it above.

Metal And Dust is out now on Metal And Dust Recordings.

Stockholm boutique label Emotion Records specializes in hazy electro-pop slowjams that could well be radio hits on another planet. A case in point is Karl X Johan’s “Get It All,” an ethereal, R&B-infused dreamscape that sounds like Usher and M83 on Quaaludes. Here’s your perfect soundtrack for drinking Schnapps in an infinity pool under a Technicolor sunset with that special someone after a long day spent taming unicorns.

Once you’ve listened to “Get It All,” feast your ears on another sublime offering from the Emotion catalog, World Tour’s “Forever Tonight.”
