MAYBE WE COULD LAST FOREVER.

This just in: Smallpools are about to take your whole summer over. Arriving on the scene like the perfect middle point between the sunny electronics of Foster The People and the solar-powered vocals of Fun, their debut single "Dreaming" offers synths straight out of Passion Pit's playbook and hooks that would make Dr. Luke jealous. "Dreaming" is alt radio gold with extreme crossover potential, the kind of song that only comes along a few times a year, and rarely on a debut single.

They're from LA because of course they are - songwriting like this doesn't occur naturally anywhere else - and are produced by none other than our dudes Captain Cuts, who we've been saying are only one hit away from global pop domination for about 18 months now. Well, all we can say is it looks like they found their hit. Catch Smallpools making their live debut on the Popshop West stage soon, more details to follow.

WISH I COULD SHOUT YOU OUT.

X Ambassadors should sound somewhat familiar, as we had some pretty nice things to say about their debut offering "Unconsolable" a while back, when we first predicted big things for the Brooklyn four piece a few summers ago. Now after emerging unscathed from a major label bidding war (hate to say we told you so) that took the better part of last year with a new name and new label, the X men look set to dominate the alt radio landscape in the months to come. And it all starts back where it all began, with a new supercharged version of "Unconsolable" that comes in hot with twice the restless severity of the original. You can stream the track below or cop a free download direct from Interscope HERE, and be sure to keep an eye out for them on a Popshop stage near you soon.

DIGGING UP MY GOLD FOR YOU TONIGHT.

The latest Scandinavian pop upstart to streak across our radar is Norway's Truls, and you're going to want to remember that name. On debut single "Out of Yourself", Truls introduces himself with cosmic star guitars and a heaven-on-earth falsetto that's honestly unlike anything we've ever heard. And best of all, THAT voice is coming out of THIS human. Amazing.

YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO GET AWAY.

After two incredible singles and a very impressive NYC live debut at Popshop last week, Magic Man are coasting on some serious pop inertia at the moment. So now feels like as an exciting a time as any to make a very special announcement, as we welcome Magic Man to the Neon Gold / Columbia family as our latest album signing.

To celebrate the occasion, the band are today releasing a brand new demo EP - written, recorded and produced by the band themselves in their Fox Den studio in Providence - featuring established favorites "Paris" and "Texas", as well as their brand new globetrotting single, "Nova Scotia". Walking the line between the triumphant synths of Passion Pit and the stadium-sized hooks of The Killers, the Fox Den Demos offer an exciting introduction to New England's finest, as they head into the studio this summer to ready their debut album for release on Neon Gold in the new year. Download the EP in its entirety HERE and catch Magic Man on tour supporting MS MR later this month or this fall with Walk The Moon.

BREATHE YOUR OXYGEN IN AND OUT.

Hailing from both Sweden and Australia, Kate Boy are flourishing with the synth sensibilities of both climes and a groundswell of critical support the world over. Their first few singles have been nothing short of pristine, a bipolar fusion of ice cold synths and warm enveloping beats, and new single "The Way We Are" maintains the impossibly high standard they've established thus far. Its churning synths and concussive percussion reinforce the explosive teen-streaked vocals with the dark and stormy personality of Wednesday Addams fronting Icona Pop or The Knife, as the whole thing goes full Silent Shout in the finale.

We're bringing Kate Boy over for their debut US shows in NYC and LA next month, and with the band's Popshop Brooklyn show supporting HAIM already sold out (in 45 minutes no less), interested parties are going to want to lock in their NYC and LA tickets in posthaste.

MAKE ASH AND LEAVE THE DUST BEHIND.

Stop the presses, this is important. MS MR and CHVRCHES are already having banner years each in their own right, and today they come together on an empire-toppling remix that's one of our favorite things either has produced to date. The Scottish electras take "Hurricane" and dive headfirst into the eye of the storm, kicking up the tempo in a mess of gale force synths and taking things straight to South Beach circa 1980 on some serious Whitney Houston shit. This is the sound of all of our dreams coming true at once.

WAKING EVERYBODY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

Marina & The Diamonds and Charli XCX are two of our favorite popstars/humans in the game, for now and forever. Our efforts to get them to join forces as a superduo (called Sister Sister, obvs) have been well documented, but we suppose for now this incredible new duet will have to do. Never ones to disappoint, "Just Desserts" is a delightful lovestep treat baked to absolute perfection, chock full of bubblegum braggadocio and sugar sweet nothings. The track finds Marina and Charli achieving levels of lady swagger never before seen in the wild, as both come correct over one of our favorite Marina demos of all time ("The Other Foot", where my superfans at), complementing each other perfectly in the process. High fives all around guys.
