A great song and a great duet between Anna of the North and Gus Dapperton that one can bop along to over and over.
Song of the Day: Anna of the North & Gus Dapperton – Meteorite — The Telltale Mind
Anna of the North is the solo project of Anna Lotterud, an Oslo-based Norwegian singer-songwriter. She specialises in a retro 80s style that makes the listener think that they just must have heard that song before.
Despite the all too familar influences, there’s never the less a great pop sensibility going on here. The listen could do much worse than explore more of this.
Long time bureau favourite, Heavenly is re-releasing their albums and a gig to go with it.

Europe-based Australian band, Parcels have released a few remixes of tracks from their Day/Night album.
The EP is simply enough called the Day/Night Remixed.
The track, Reflex has a very 90s feel to it, while Famous has some disco-tastic violins. All the tracks have that unmistakeable groove that is Parcels’ hallmark.
