Our favorite Plastic Flowers are back (again!) with a new song, “In You I’m Lost”, an acoustic number recorded by senselens while the band was recording their next release, which means we’ll hopefully get to listen to a proper full length by our Greek friends in the new year. The new song is somewhat even quieter than their latest output (cassettes still available on Cakes and Tapes!), a perfect fit for your cold Autumn. 

You can grab the MP3 for free here.

I’ve posted about Will Samson before and I’m still so excited about his new album, Balance that I felt the need to post about him again. The video for “Eat Sleep Travel, Repeat”, made by Trunk Films, was shot somewhere in Portugal during a surf trip and it radiates so many tranquility rays that it seems like the song was made to fit the video and not the other way around. So good that our tourism department should buy the video and stick a “Visit Portugal” logo all over it. Think about that.

Optimus Primavera Club 2012

The lineup for the first Portuguese edition of the Primavera Club festival is finally complete. From the bunch of Portuguese and Spanish artists confirmed in the last round of announcements, we’re excited to watch the likes of Sensible Soccers, You Can’t Win Charlie Brown and Tropa Macaca again. Head to the Primavera Club website to learn more about those acts.

J. Tex might have spent all his life in Denmark, but his roots lie deep in American soil: he was actually born in Detroit, so you can now stop not taking him seriously as a country singer just because he comes from chilly Scandinavia. (Come on, everyone loves Scandinavian songwriters, why shouldn’t you?) “Look Up Look Down” smells classic through its three minutes and is the first single off his latest record – the first album I’ve heard from him and his Volunteers – named House on the Hill, which was just released last week. You can get it via Swedish alt label Heptown Records.

Sharon Van Etten, “Tell Me”

Sharon Van Etten’s Tramp will be reissued in a 2xCD deluxe edition next November 13. The package includes a bonus CD with demo versions of the songs from the album. Thank God I still haven’t bought it – she plays in Guimarães at the Optimus Primavera Club festival on November 30 and perhaps I’ll get it there. Here’s a demo of an unreleased song you probably knew about if you’ve seen her 2010 KEXP session, “Tell Me”.
