A Sad Xmas Present - Advances In Mathematics
Our friends at the lovely DIY ‘zine and label Pull Yourself Together have released a free EP (also available on Ltd Edition CD) to celebrate their first anniversary. It’s by Advances In Mathematics. They say:
“In December of 2010, whilst driving back to Manchester from a weekend of excess at ATP in Minehead, Pull Yourself Together Records were trying to get enough 3G connection on a phone to listen to what was about to become the first release on their new label. Now, 12 months on from Patterns’ New Noise EP, via Christopher Eatough’s heartbreaking debut album and Moustache of Insanity’s noisepop monster, PYT Records are celebrating their birthday in the only way they know, by releasing a single from a band they love. Just in time to stave off the annual pop chart festive ennui, we are proud to release Sad Xmas Present EP by Advances in Mathematics.”

Sykur - Shed Those Tears
Sykur are a teenaged Icelandic electro-pop trio from Reykjavik. Having just finished school, they’re releasing their first single, “Shed Those Tears”, in September. It’s so catchy it’s like a tattoo on your brain. Get a free (more downbeat) remix by FM Belfast here.

Ronika - Forget Yourself
Some pleasingly oddball pop here from Ronika – this song feels like it belongs somewhere between Bananarama and Chicks On Speed, and leaves us wanting much more…

Multiphonic Rodent
Snipe came across Estonian solo artist Multiphonic Rodent on a recent trip to Tallinn Music Week. The one-man-band and fearless multi-tasker is a master of lo-fi loop-pedal tapestries, wonky pop songs and earworm instrumentals. Listen to a full album (released in 2008 but still sounding fresh as a daisy today) below, and keep an eye and an ear out for more in the near future.
