RUS - new single from Ayowa

The danish duo Ayowa is back with a new single called RUS (released february 24). The new single continues Ayowas tradition of making ambient, expressive, electronic pop music. The contemporary beat, the pulsating soundscape and the emotional, floating vocals sung in danish makes for a bittersweet experince. It's both a feel good and a deeply emotionally captivating song. The danish word "rus" means "intoxication" and without having a full interpretation of the text the whole song still breathes this ecstatic shimmer. Ayowa have truly mastered the skill of making ravishing and touching music rooted in the pop genre.


 

Atmospheric vibes from Seersha

Wasteland is the debut single from the emerging atmospheric electropop artist Seersha. It's the first song from her forthcoming record (to be released in May). Wasteland is a song filled with melancholy, carried by soft synthpads and a minimal beat. Though Wasteland feels a bit held back, it still holds a shimmering energy with Seershas expressive vocals guiding the listenter through the wastelands, enclosed in atmospheric auras. The name Seersha comes from the phonetic spelling of Saorie, an Irish or Scottish given name meaning freedom. And it seems important for Seersha to make music that can hold up to that description. To not give away all the keys of interpretation but rather give the listener a possibility to measure their own thoughts and feelings in relation to Seershas artistry is a great artistic strength and makes for an interesting follow up in May.

Corniglia - Oh My Love

Out of Perth, Australia comes this rare gem called Corniglia. Their debut single (released in November last year) should send shockwaves on every Indie Pop listeners radar. Oh My Love, which is the name of the song, is a repetative (in a good way), minimalistic and dreamy tune. It has this really downplayed production but still manages to create a really catchy sound, which one can probably thank the groovy basslines for. On top of the hazy, floating soundstage Oh My Love is a lovestory, though Corniglia works with meta narratives and the song seem to have more than one layer. It handles the contemporay endeavours of prolonged or eternal life and the want to always "play it cool" and "keep it togheter". In summary, Corniglia, with their dark, danceable sound, is another example of pop music that isn't only kitsch and placard messages, but the carrier of profound content. If you're into Oh My Love as much as Weekly Indie Pop is, be sure to keep your eyes open for Corniglias debut album bound for this year.
