SAINT LOU LOU – MAYBE YOU (ElectroPop – Australia)

Leave a comment

Saint Lou Lou are twin sisters Elektra and Miranda, born in Sweden, yet raised in Australia. They are releasing their debut single on August 27th via Kitsuné! “Maybe You” is a chill, dreamwave track that floats along. Bouncing between the long cold winters of Stockholm, and the happy-go-lucky beaches of Sydney, it’s no wonder there’s a striking contrast with their sound.

The package contains four brilliant remixes by Good Night Keaton (of Miami Horror fame), Canada’s own CFCF and Parisians Oxford & Le Crayon and Pyramid.

Elizabeth Rose

Hailing from Sydney, 21-year-old electropop producer Elizabeth Rose is fast becoming one of 2012’s most talked-about new artists downunder. Having already released a number of self-produced demos and remixes (Jinja Safari, Flight Facilities), Elizabeth recently unveiled her first official single “Ready”, available worldwide via cutting-edge Aussie label Inertia Access.

Layering dreamy beats, shadowy samples and lofty melodies, the young artist hits just the right spot with this new track. And if the original isn’t enough, the Remix EP features four remixes by Whyte Fang, Polographia, Gold Fields and Nina Las Vegas.

Elizabeth Rose is currently putting the finishing touches on her debut EP (due for release later this year) and she will be touring around Australia with up-and-coming Sydney trio RÜFÜS in August. To celebrate, check out their remix of “Stars Ago”.
