So over the top, so Gainsbourg in a way, so French, and so kitschy. Sébastien Tellier is back!!! Add this to his long list of spectacular song odysseys. Words cannot describe how excited I am about his new LP! Bienvenue à nouveau Monsieur!

SHREM'S DOUBLE TROUBLE: "THINK TWICE" - Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren Band /// "CARNIVAL" - The Cardigans
I have two jolly Scandinavian singles for you today. 1990's pure pop perfection from Sweden vs chilled out Norwegian grooves circa 2002. Two exquisite melodies, two stunning female vocalists and two retro videos. None of the two acts managed to match the utter brilliance of those early singles in further stages of their careers...

SHREM'S LATE MONDAY NIGHT SESSIONS... "Inspector Norse" - Todd Terje
Have some prime retro-futuristic disco made in Oslo and cure this beginning-of-the-week blues. This is Todd Terje's most delicious release since his anthemic "Eurodans". You. Can. Dance.

SHREM'S INSTITUTE OF LOST CLASSICS: "THE CHILD" - Alex Gopher
Jolly memories of the late 90's French Touch boom. This Alex Gopher chilled-out classic built around a Billie Holiday sample has aged so well. One of the cutest videos ever made too...

SHREM'S WORLDLY DELIGHTS: "TICO TICO" + "PAPAYA" - Urszula Dudziak
One of the most famous Brazilian songs "Tico Tico" was recorded countless amount of times in countless different arrangements by countless artists all over the globe. Here's one of my absolute favourite versions of this evergreen classic, dipped in funk and disco, here's "Tico Tico" by Poland's prime jazz diva Urszula Dudziak and her human voice redefining vocals. The second track is her biggest single ever "Papaya" released back in 1975 in UK, Spain, Canada, Belgium and US.

SHREM'S DOUBLE TROUBLE: "GENESIS" - Grimes /// "SPELLWORK" - Austra
Two of the bunch of the most promising music acts for 2012 have just come up with brand new singles. A newly signed 4AD treasure Miss Grimes, originally from Mexico City, has just released one of this year's first stunning singles. I wonder will I be including this astonishing piece of work 12 months from today compiling the most magical music moments of the year... "Genesis" is a truly exquisite sonic journey. Following that we have the enigmatic Austra from Toronto and their peculiar take-on electro and witch house. Even if not as charismatic as "Beat and the Pulse" it still is a compelling and incomparable piece of music. Both Grimes and Austra along with Lana Del Rey, Azealia Banks and CREEP are tipped to be the conquerors of the alternative music scene of 2012. Time will tell...
