🎧 TBT: Keep Shelly In Athens: ‘Fokionos Negri Street’ (2010)
This song was on constant repeat way back in the early days of The iM… chillwave at its best. Keep Shelly In Athens are still making music and you ought to check them out.
Have a listen to Fokionos Negri Street in the embed below… this one never gets old.
🎥 King Sweeties – ‘Let’s Just Stay In Bed’
We came across indie-pop outfit King Sweeties debut single this afternoon and boy are we glad we did. This song is as infectious as it gets… all the way from Auckland, New Zealand.
Check out Let’s Just Stay In Bed in the embed below. No word on when we can expect more music but as soon as we know, you’ll know.
🎧 Munya – ‘Boca Chica’
Montreal indie-pop songstress MUNYA has outdone herself on her latest single, Boca Chica. The song was released just yesterday by record label Luminelle Recordings and revolves around, of all things, a small Texas village where SpaceX recently set up shop.
“The world is upside down, we don’t know when this is going to end and what the long term effects are going to be…but I know we have to keep dreaming. Boca Chica is the name of a town in Texas where SpaceX is building dreams, they are building a starship to Mars. I know a Starship is not going to save any lives today, but I also know that the science and technology we create from these programs will help shape the future for the best just as the Space race did in the 60’s. My dream is that we realize we are one, realize we are all in this together, that we all need to help each other and that we can do the impossible if we do it together and keep dreaming.”
Very nice words. Now, take a listen to the catchy little number in the embed below and be sure to keep an eye on this talented young singer.
🎥 New Fries – ‘Ploce’
Toronto “no-wave inspired” outfit New Fries are set to release their latest effort The Idea Of Us, August 7th via Telephone Explosion Records. The band just released a new song and animated video for your viewing pleasure.

🎥 Programm – ‘Everything At Once’
Around the same time The iM went on hiatus in 2016, Toronto electronic/shoegaze outfit Programm dropped their debut album, A Torrid Marriage Of Logic and Emotion. Fast forward four years and much like us, it looks as though the band is coming out of hibernation.
There is talk of a new album possibly sometime next year but in the meantime sink your teeth into this new video for Everything At Once, a track from their debut LP. Not sure about you but we can’t wait to hear new music from this very talented bunch of musicians.

🎧 Honeywhip – ‘Feels Good To Laugh’
Los Angeles by way of Tokyo “home” producer Honeywhip is just new to the game but if his first few tarcks are any indication, he has a bright future ahead of him.
His latest effort Feels Good To Laugh has a whimsical and carefree nature and we’re totally down with it. Check the song out below and keep your eye out for more from this young producer.
