“I wrote the melody of this song one Saturday’s morning.
My friend felt blue and I wanted to help her, at least a little bit.
So it’s not about love actually.
Or maybe about something more than Love.”
TIL: Alex aka. Estervalley is living in the small far-eastern russian town called Komsomolsk-on-Amure (wait…where?) that is close to Japan. Google just told me it’s MINUS 25 degrees there today so I can imagine “feeling blue” is not uncommon over there. But any heart needs some warm and sweet music like this from time to time, especially if you are the “Monday – Blues” kind of person like I am. Make yourself a cup of hot chocolate, listen to his whole EP and keep your heart beating.

I’ve become a couch potato over the last days. Uhhh so badly. One reason why I struggle the most with this is because I can’t blame anyone else for it and I know there is no other excuse than my own laziness. It’s up to me to accept these kind of days and not to be angry with myself. Hey you, I tell myself, it’s January, cold, dark and completely fine to cuddle at home for a little while. The Hospital surely know this feeling, since they come from Russia (what a surprise actually, cause their music really sounds like the typical british indie pop to me). Their song “Ariel” just reminded me instantly how it feels to go out riding a bicycle or driving the car with the windows open. Can not wait to feel the first warmish air of spring time again…Meanwhile I listen to this to get up…

WIN GUESTLIST
for MLIVE next Friday in Berlin!
As the music lover and sound nerd that you are, you’re surely aware of the existence of Majestic Casual, one of the biggest Youtube channels around. Since its early days we appreciate Nick’s work and v/b/logging skills in finding the sound that they branded Majestic, then putting it into endless playlists and giving the youtube channel business a new definition. Like we did years ago with our YUM YUM Parties that turned into a bordercrossing juggernaut, Majestic Casual is starting its own events this year. Their first event will take place next Friday Feb 5th in Berlin (what a surprise, haha) and the line up for this night should get you excited: Snakehips, Tom Misch, good friends Still Parade who are managed by one of our closest associates & buddies, and old school veteran & friend Munk, who is oddly hired and musically somewhat out of place here, but will definietly raise the average age to at least 21 and give it some groundedness. Just to name some of them…
Here’s your chance to win a few free guestlist spots (plus 1 of course)! Simply send us a message on our ChromeMusic Facebook page or leave a FB comment! We will get back to you by end of this week. Fingers crossed ;)
