Discopolis

Discopolis are a three piece electronic band that hail from Edinburgh, comprising members Fergus Cook, Laurie Corlett-Donald and Dave Lloyd. They've got a really good sound going on and as yet remain unsigned (note to record labels - sign them you twats, they're brilliant!). Anyway, they describe themselves as sounding a bit like "digital fucking", which is...original...

If you like Boards of Canada, M83, Daft Punk and music of that ilk - chances are you'll like Discopolis.

This is one of their first singles "Lofty Ambitions", funny video - nicely shot, with a sweet nod to Kraftwerk at the beginning. It's really kind of infectious. You only need hear it once to have it stuck in your head, and I like the fact they sing with their Scottish accents intact. "You alwaes doot ma loove", or something :D. Anyway, seriously give them a go. They're worth a few moments of your time and I reckon they could go on to big big things in the coming year or two.
