All the way from Norway, Kid Astray come bearing gifts of the indie pop kind. The six-piece collective are relative newcomers to the music scene and their name might not ring a bell with readers just yet, but with shimmery and sweet, swoon-worthy singles like “The Mess” (off their debut EP, Easily Led Astray — out today), we’re willing to bet you’ll be hearing a lot of them literally any minute now. In the meantime, we’ve got a cool remix to offer up courtesy of another Norwegian group that knows how to piece together a good ole’ pop song: Casiokids. Though their last album was 2011’s Aabenbaringen over aaskammen (a record worth revisiting, we might add), here they sound fresh as ever, kicking up the energy and plugging in some extra sunny dance vibes for a rework that’s all fun and no filler. Throw it on that beach, BBQ or roadtrip playlist and you’re totally made. Enjoy.
