Sonnymoon – 2012 EP by Plug Research

2012: With this time now upon us there is a feeling of inevitable momentum forward through our man-made linear arches of time. In a day when it becomes harder and harder for artists to truly represent their cultural surroundings and sift through the monotony of the machine, Sonnymoon takes the opportunity to welcome the future with their EP, 2012.
As a continuation of their previous foundation of sound laid down in 2010 with Golden Age, 2012 looks to the future with excitement and hope. This lush EP bubbles and flows with the feeling of space aged spirituals yet to come. Look not towards the future, friends, because the time is Now.

This video was recently featured on MTV Iggy:

France’s Astrobal goes around Europe in 4:23. “Trains” consists of all things synthetic, soft and light – like turbocharged bubblegum pop fused with electricity. If his upcoming debut, Poetry & Science-Fiction is anything like this cut, we’ll be along for the ride.
