Air France: It Feels Good To Be Around You
A blueprint for how to send 'The Blogs' mad.
1. Be Swedish. Blogs love Swedes.
2. Try to take at least a few years away. Three is optimum. Long enough for everyone to get misty eyed, but not so long you're not still influencing new acts.
3. Suggest your comeback is on the way with something reasonably enigmatic. Teaser videos are awfully now.
4. Make sure your comeback track is remixed by someone who is on a hot streak. Star Slinger would be a good bet.
5. Make sure said track is really bleedin' excellent.
Air France - congratulations! Full house! Check out 'It Feels Good To Be round You' below:

Some days we feel that we could add 'Swedish' as a legitimate menu bar item on Neu and be done with it, but then with tracks as good as this offering from Loney Dear to catch up on, who could blame us.
With a new album 'Hall Music' due this October, fresh cut 'What Have I Become' features vocals from long-term collaborator Malin Ståhlberg. You can check it out on The Guardian here. Read on »jj: We Can’t Stop (Feat. Ne-Yo)
Ne-Yo and jj teaming up wasn't the first thing we expected to happen, but actually, it kind of works.
As part of the Adult Swim Singles Program, Ne-Yo sent over a new, original song which was then sent on to jj to play with. The result is 'We Can't Stop' - which you can check out below.

German duo Modeselektor are lucky types. They don't get to boast just one Thom Yorke collaboration on their forthcoming album 'Monkeytown' - they get two. And we can get a quick taster of what they sound like.
45 second previews of the tracks - 'Shipwreck' and 'This' have appeared online (we assume this means they were magiced up by some electro friendly Merlin) and can be listened to below.

We're getting excitingly close to Active Child's debut album - due in a couple of weeks on August 23rd. So excitingly close that the chance to listen to the title track 'You Are All I See' is enough to push us over the edge and require a sit down and a good talking to.
A twinkly epic, as a taster of the New Jersey native's full length it's A Very Good Thing Indeed. You can check it out below, with a taster of the full record via an oh-so-now 'album trailer' after the jump.
