Japanese Popstars have released a track called "Electric Poet" to celebrate their new album 'We Just Are'. Their gaining momentum with a eries of awards and favourable magazine reviews. Impressively, Mixmag proclaims that "they might also be the most exciting electronic act on the planet". Less impressively, Electric Circus say they are "One of the hottest electro acts to come out of Ireland recently" ...do a lot of hot electro acts come from Ireland? If you are a hot electro act from Ireland please e-mail me to correct my ignorance. Anyway, that has nothing to do with Japanese Popstars who are pretty fantastic. As well as Electric Poet, check out their remix of Spoon and Tong's "Gas Face" which you might of heard pop up in my Daft Monkey mix.
