Baby V Alex 2,859 Posted April 14, 2013 I knew about them today, while I was reading to Muumuse, I found this post about this new duo Say Lou Lou and I stole Bradley's post and post it here 4 y'all. I'm in love with their sound and their look, they remeber me of ABBA and Cher (talking about look). And now, it’s time for a long overdue introduction to Say Lou Lou, the gorgeous Swedish-Australian twin sister act. (They grew up shuttling in between Stockholm and Sydney. Thus, they are Swedish-Australian.) When the duo was first being buzzed about last year, they went by the name Saint Lou Lou, but they’ve since switched over to Say Lou Lou. (Or SAY! Lou Lou, as Legendtina might say.) Say Lou Lou’s 2012 debut single, “Maybe You,” is perhaps one of the more perfect songs I’ve ever heard in my life. It’s heartbreaking and gorgeous and nostalgic and lump-in-throat-inducing; a song so intimate and melancholy that when it plays, time itself seems to stop—at least for a moment. Or something like that, at least. It helps, also, that the accompanying Philippe Tempelman-directed video is a slow-motion work of art. Following their debut (the official video’s racked up well over 300,000 views, not too shabby for a debut), the sister act hit the road to perform across Europe, including an opening slot on Hurts‘ tour. They’ve also lent their dreamy vocals toGoldroom‘s bouncy, ’80′s synth-pop inspired “Sweetness Alive” and developed their own record label (à Deux). Now, they’re preparing their label’s first release in May: “Julian.” https://soundcloud.com/sayloulou/julian/s-6mvMu “Oh Julian, once we get across the border/Oh Julian, I’m in your heart,” the brooding twosome croon on their new number. Like “Maybe You,” it’s a tender electronic production—like a mixture of the spooky alt-pop sensibility of Bat For Lashes(see her similarly lush ode to a special fellow, ) and the melancholy world-weariness of Swedish mystery disco vixen, Sally Shapiro.Basically, they’re 2 for 2. The track arrives on May 6, along with a B-side called “Fool Of Me,” featuring Chet Faker. But wait—there’s more! Earlier today, the talented Monsieur Adi premiered his entrancing mix of the track, adding a lively, dance floor-friendly bounce to the otherwise ghostly original. http://soundcloud.com/sayloulou/julian-monsieur-adi-remix They’re stunning, stylish and the tunes are to die for. What’s not to love? “Julian” will be released on May 6. (iTunes) Julian is a masterpiece So are you on board? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HEARTCORE 18,971 Posted March 5, 2014 "Say Lou Lou (born June 7, 1991) are a twin sister musical duo hailing from both Australia and Sweden. Their father is Australian and their mother is Swedish. They grew up in both Australia and Sweden.. Considered Dream Pop or Dream Wave, they released their first single in 2012 before forming their own record label, à Deux, in 2013. In December 2013, it was announced that Say Lou Lou had made the BBC Sound of 2014 longlist." Regarding the duo's name: "In an irritating turn of events, the duo were obliged to change their name from Saint Lou Lou to Say Lou Lou last year due to a lawsuit from a similarly-named artist. But hang on a second – who even is Lou Lou? "Our Great Aunt, who we only met once on her death-bed, and an old family legend," they explain. "She was actually an old English lady. She was quite bitter and angry, and she didn’t like anyone. She was really mean to our grandmother, so we always thought that the really beautiful, sweet name together with her personality was quite funny." In other words, their name is a metaphor for their songs: sweet and warming on the surface, dark and introspective beneath." They currently have four singles out: Maybe You http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q_WjSWTh2s Julian http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RteQ47_z7K0 Better In The Dark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwS7o21DvHAEverything We Touch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtRYHdfxtoE Whilst these songs are B-Sides/Free Downloads: Feels Like We Only Go Backwards [Tame Impala Cover]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKj-ZP1P8Ec Beloved [better In The Dark B-Side] www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOa3vAQUJSE Fool of Me (ft.

Kerrigan 612 Posted March 5, 2014 OMG yes, indie electropop queens. I am in love with them. So sad to hear their album is pushed back until September, this summer would have been an even more amazing time for music with their debut. My friend actually got to see them live in Glasgow and said that they killed it. Apparently they have a more traditional pop sound live Feels Like We Only Go Backwards [Tame Impala Cover]*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKj-ZP1P8Ec Could we all just take a moment. Just listen. This cover is phenomenal. Couldn't stop playing it when I first heard it. I love Tame Impala's version (their best song imo), but this cover took it to a new level entirely. The lyrics have so much more meaning and it just really hits home with their ~stripped back style.
