“Today, you write an ‘A’ on your jacket and you think you’re an anarchist. Fashion used to be a weapon for the young people to provoke change. What people need to do now is wipe their makeup off.” Ellinor Olovsdotter, stage name “Elliphant”, has just released her newest EP “One More”. Geisha hair, adidas tracksuits, fringe—“Elli”, as her fans know her, covers a broad range of cool in her music videos. The Stockholm-born, LA-based indie pop artist looks kind of like Léa Seydoux meets a new wave of Fever Ray costuming, and her brand of reggae-dubstep sounds like M.I.A. infused Major Lazer.

“One More” EP is out via TEN.

Immigrant Union, comprised of well-known players from Melbourne, including DeBoer from The Dandy Warhols and Bob Harrow of The Lazy Sons, is releasing their second album “Anyway.”

Immigrant Union first hit the spotlight in 2011 with a self-titled album from producer Gregg Williams (Sheryl Crow, The Dandy Warhols, Blitzen Trapper). Frontman Brent DeBoer describes their fusion of psychedelic folk and traditional country as “spiritualized, being baptized in a river of Creedence Clearwater.”

The video for “I Can’t Return” (above) was directed by Mike Bruce, who has worked with Paul McCartney and Noel Gallagher, and stars Omar Doom of the film “Inglorious Basterds” and Carolyn Stotesbery of “Love and Mercy.” You can also hear Australian indie musician Courtney Barnett – who attracted considerable attention with her own debut album earlier this year – singing alongside Immigrant Union on “The End Has Come” (below).
