Carina Round – Backseat
Carina Round – Backseat (Flash In The Pan Remix).mp3
Carina Round’s self-released EP Things You Should Know is due out May 12th (digital download for $5). I am a little partial to the original version of the first video/single Backseat, it builds well and has a great finish. Check out the video after the jump.

Polychromatic! – Good Enough.mp3
Polychromatic! – Diamonds Are For Never And For Always.mp3
I Guess I’m Floating gets the first discovery / contact on this one. I shared it and eventually went on a quest to find the other tracks noted in the comments. Low and behold Last.fm was the hookup with 3 full downloads. The info is scarce on Polychromatic! but the positive acclaim is well deserved. Who could disagree, easily accessible electronic trip-pop is always welcome here. Polychromatic’s first full length project Dreams has an anticipated 2009 release.

Metric – Help I’m Alive (The Twelves Remix).mp3
I always enjoy The Twelves’s remixes and I’ve been excited for Metric’s Fantasies (out today). It was a pleasant suprise to see this in my inbox.
Update : New Help I’m Alive video after the jump or here.

Deastro – The Shaded Forests.mp3
Deastro – Michale, The Lone Archer of the North Shore.mp3
Daestro’s unique synth-soaked electronic pop caught me off guard when I first listened to “Parallelogram” and subsequently tore through all other available tracks on hypem. I had heard “Light Powered” back when Ghostly Swim came out last year and I was reasonably impressed, but this new material blew me away. Crank the volume and blow your mind. Moondagger is Daestro’s second full length and first full-band debut due out June 23rd.

Hailing from Switzerland, Heidi Happy’s simple melodies are heartfelt and elegant. Throughout the album, vocal harmonies and sweeping strings mesh in a melting timbre of bliss. Her sophomore album Flowers, Birds and Home is definitely worth a listen.
