 Sink Ya Teeth, our favourite disco punk revivalists are back with an infectious electro stomper "Somewhere Else" throbbing with beats, synths and melody hooks which instantly get under your skin. I have been a devoted admirer of this talented Norwich duo ever since I heard their hypnotic debut single "If You See Me" back in 2017. The new single announces the release of their highly anticipated 2nd LP "Two" which drops next week! The video for "Somewhere Else" was directed by Joseph Hayes and the track is trending super high for my upcoming monthly Crème de la Shrem ranking. On repeat!

SHREM'S FUTURE ANTHEMS: "SUBSTITUTES" - Sink Ya Teeth

 

I have been rooting for this UK duo from the very beginning. Sink Ya Teeth have appeared on numerous Crème de la Crème charts of mine, stood on the podium of my Hottest Newcomers of 2017 list last December and prepared this fun Perfect Party Playlist exclusively for my blog back in January. Now Maria Uzor and Gemma Cullingford are teasing us even more before the release of their self-titled debut album with an instantly captivating, gritty electro punk gem "Substitutes". Those post-punk vibes (that somehow suddenly sound very current again!), the energy and the haunting vocals serpentined around another entrancing melody, create a unique atmosphere. I am very much looking forward to discovering Sink Ya Teeth's debut album in its entirety. Aside from "Substitutes" the record will feature the pair's previous singles "Pushin'" and the anthemic "If You See Me".

SHREM'S DOUBLE TROUBLE: "At Least the Sky Is Blue (Johnny Jewel's Moody Midnight Remix)" [feat. Ariel Pink] /// "Clown (Glass Candy Remix)" - SSION

Cody Critcheloe's incomparable multi-media POP art project, the extravagant SSION is almost ready to drop his 5th studio album "O" featuring many exhilarating guest appearances such as MNDR, Sky Ferreira and our unrivalled muse Róisín Murphy among others! "At Least the Sky Is Blue" a collaboration with another American enfant terrible of music - Ariel Pink, is the latest single taken from "O" and it's just been remixed by the awe-inspiring Johnny Jewel - the man behind Chromatics, Glass Candy and the most vibrant of all record labels - Italians Do It Better! This remix treatment is even more special considering it's been 10 years since the release of SSION's anthemic "Clown" which was then accompanied by one of only 2 Glass Candy remixes ever made (the 2nd being for Appaloosa's "Intimate").

You can pre-order "O" now on Bandcamp!





And here are both of the tracks in their original versions:

CHOON OF THE DAY: "PUSHIN'" - Sink Ya Teeth

I was honoured to have the Norwich synth-pop duo Sink Ya Teeth cherry-pick this Perfect Party Playlist exclusively for my blog 2 weeks ago and now Maria Uzor and Gemma Cullingford are releasing their much anticipated brand new single "Pushin'". The pulsating track is an energy-fuelled fusion of synth-disco, post-punk and electro-pop. Meaty bass lines, throbbing beats, untamed vocals, retro-sounding synthesisers - a signature sonic cocktail à la Sink Ya Teeth. Raw and contagious.

SHREM'S DOUBLE TROUBLE: "SAD EYES (Invisibles Remix)" /// "AFFECTION" [Video] - Crystal Castles

The video for "Affection", one of Crystal Castles' most accomplished songs to date, has just premiered. In addition the Canadian electro force of a duo continues to treat their fans to a string of excellent remixes available as free downloads on their Soundcloud. I found this new mix of "Sad Eyes" by Alex Invisibles particularly impressive.
