2009 was too 2009

As the last year, a parenthesis in this blog for you to introduce those that should mark the year 2010.


Two Door Cinema Club

This pop group from Ireland, together since early 2007, are presented like the next Franz Ferdinand, signed to Parisian label Kitsune, their boss Gildas & Masaya, define already their album as the best of the year...

Two Door Cinema Club - Something good can work


Ellie Goulding

This british solo singer-songwriter, 21 year old, with a strong personality and a cutting-edge style, could fit in well with the current electro-pop scene.

Ellie Goulding – Under the sheets [Baby Monster Remix]

Villa

This band from Belgium, signed on Eskimo Records, is without doubt the best disco-balearica stuff since Aeroplane.

Mindless Boogie - Anita [Villa Edit]

Delphic

Already speaked here.

Gold Panda

Gold Panda is a left-field producer and remixer called Derwin who makes instrumental soundtracks to half-remembered, dreamy summer days...

Noah & The Whale - Love of an orchesta [Gold Panda Remix]


Joy Orbison

Twenty-two-year-old Pete O'Grady from Croydon, who goes by the name Joy Orbison, is one of the hottest hypnotic dance producers around. Yet he still works as a "dogsbody" in a mail room, saying he prefers music to be a relief from work, rather than work itself. For many blogs, Hyph mango was the best 2009 track.

Joy Orbison - Hyph mango


Rox

Roxanne Tataei is a half Iranian, half Jamaican Londoner who makes nourishing soul music
With a powerful, jazzy voice, she is likely to get this year's Amy Winehouse comparisons. Fittingly, she has also performed live with Mark Ronson.

Rox - My baby left me


Marina & Diamonds

Four years ago, Marina Diamandis could not even play the piano.
Frustrated by failure, the Welsh-Greek chanteuse realised she needed to strike out on her own an decide to learn the piano
Fearless, ambitious and stylish, her debut album The Family Jewels is a compelling pop confessional.

Marina & Diamonds - I'm not a robot [Acoustic]


The Drums

The Drums were born in Florida a year ago and have relocated to New York.
They see themselves as the ultimate "generation me" rock band. They are all about selfishness, liberation and simply written songs.

The Drums - Let's go for surfing


Owl City

Last summer, Adam Young, 23, was living with his parents in Owatonna, Minnesota, and had never left the Midwest. Last month, he played packed dates in China and finished a sold-out North American tour.
He says he was inspired by the boredom of his home town and the twinkling laptop-made beats and soft, innocent vocals evoke faraway fantasies and innocent daydreams.

Owl City - Umbrella beach


Stornoway

This "brothers band" proposes a slow pop.
Having come together at Oxford University, one of their number has a PhD in duck ecology while another has a masters degree in Russian literature. They also once released a single called The Good Fish Guide to encourage people to eat fish ethically, with all profits going to the Marine Conservation Society.

Stornoway - Zorbing


Everything Everything

Both deliberately arty and unashamedly catchy, Manchester band Everything Everything could point to a way forward for the stale indie scene.
