GOLD 008: LITTLE RED
Coming off like the best unsolicited advert for Coke ever, "Coca Cola" is an ode to fizzy summertime refreshment, bouncing along on a chorus of "my one and only advice / is cold Coca Cola and ice". "It's Alright" shines on the AA-side and has proven to be every bit the hit as its flipside counterpart, already garnering early radio support from the likes of XFM and BBC 6Music, where it's currently their handpicked single of the week. This record is pretty much the most fun you can have this side of Chuck E. Cheese, so drop down and get your preorder on before it's too late. As usual, the Neon Gold Shop and Puregroove are your friends.

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES.
The Sound of Arrows are a new breed of pop superstars. With a 100% D.I.Y. aesthetic to their craft, they write and produce their own tracks, handle all of their own design work and even craft their own music videos, and they do all of it pretty fucking masterfully. Popjustice put it rather well in describing the Swedish duo as "one of those bands who'd surprise precisely nobody by coming out with an international Number One pop single" after they unleashed their flagship anthem "M.A.G.I.C." on the world last January, and now they're primed to release their US/UK debut on Neon Gold this autumn. More details on that to come, but for now feast your eyes and ears on "M.A.G.I.C." and it's dazzling accompanying promo video above.

YOU'VE BEEN ACTING AWFUL TOUGH LATELY.
There's been no shortage of massive remixes for Marina & The Diamonds' breakout Neon Gold single "I Am Not A Robot", but we've been furtively holding out on you and saved the best for last. So without further ado we'd like to introduce you to Penguin Prison, hands down the most exciting new artist to grace our ears in 2009. Not only is he among the best new vocal talents we've heard this year (more on his original tracks in the weeks to come), he's also quite possibly the most exciting new producer and remixer on the block and this here is his coming out party. Transforming Ms. Diamond into a dancefloor diva and completely reinventing the original track a stomping, DFA-stlye nu-disco stormer, the NYC pop maestro makes it all look far too easy and turns in one of the year's finest remixes on his first fucking try. He'll be joining the Neon Gold ranks with his debut single this autumn, so keep an eye on these pages for much more Penguin Prison magic in the weeks to come. Ladies and gentlemen, this is some seriously next level shit.

Elsewhere in the world of all things amazing, Abeano has the brand new single from The Big Pink that's got us scrambling to get all those tracks of theirs we passed when we refused to buy into the hype all year. We were wrong. Monsieur Abeano has also put together his own Future 50 feature in response to the rather questionable list that headlined this week's NME issue, a move that we will very soon be copying.

GOLD 007: GOTYE
"Learnalilgivinanlovin" exudes a vibrant versatility and comes together like a classic Motown hit produced with Phil Spector's widescreen sunshine visors on, an ebullient blend of racing drums, triumphant horns, and the sweetest soul falsetto you've never heard. A huge summer anthem in his adopted home of Australia, it grooves along on a timeless instrumental with a breezy melody that's the perfect soundtrack to the classic urban summer we've been dreaming of, where kids while away hot afternoons chasing the ice cream truck down the street and dancing around in the cool relief of fire hydrant showers. It's not too late to give up hope on that elusive summer dream, and you can preorder the single from the Neon Gold Shop or Puregroove before it's August 17th release. Limited to only 300 copies worldwide, act now before it's too late.
