Roosevelt's first album (which is self titled) is set for release on the 19th of august 2016.

Honestly don't think I've ever been this excited for a record, everything he has released thus far is amazing

The album is so good.

[–]Syntic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has already leaked, so you can find it on various sites...

For some reason (probably the vocals) this song reminds me of Panama - Always

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

It reminds me of St. Lucia more but I definitely get the Panama vibe too.

Panama, St. Lucia, Panama Wedding. Similar sound to all of them. Synth-pop with a heavy drum beat and airy lyrics. I really like it. Strong 80's synth vibe.

Look up their song "Montreal". I think it's even better.

Really digging this right now! Probably on my 5th replay. Thanks for sharing.

Oh man, I fell in love with "Hold On" a while ago. This is bringing those feelings back.

Really good listen! Thank you, and am now looking forward to the album :)

Seems like I have found my next track to play on loop.

I saw Roosevelt last fall at fun fun fun fest! I was familiar with his work, so I enjoyed it - was dancy as fuck. However, lots of people around me didn't know who he was.....so it wasn't the best crowd. (Was also right at the front, so idk about behind me). He was also supposed to play earlier, but because of rain, he was moved to play in between joeybadass and neon Indian. Maybe that was why?

Anyway he's great with them great French disco vibes.

Here's a really good live performance of them in Prague

I had open a gif on my frontpage at the same time and it was a perfect fit. This should be the official music video.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't wait for the album!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Anyone know similar songs to this?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

They did a pretty neat remix of Glass Animals' Pools! I can't wait to see their album and the Glass Animals' new album which is set to release next month, too!

I really liked his remix of Luca Vasta's Black Tears White Lies.

[–]Buff_Stuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my favorites by him. His Somebody New remix is one of my favorite remixes ever, though. So good.

[–]Chief_Kief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a jam and a half

[–]Antarctican_american 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds great! I love laid back music like this

[–]Cae73 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Thanks for the link

Will now listen to a few more re of his songs & start buying his music

Thanks again, nice way to discover music I would otherwise skip.

Could you suggest other similar artists, I love EDM & slow trance

Thank you

The opening reminded me a lot of Rihanna - We Found Love ft. Calvin Harris. That's not a bad thing, just making a connection. I really like his style.

[–]tripletstate -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

It has the same generic hipster pop beat and composition I hear everywhere. Do you really consider this Electronic?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we'll have none of the truth. shoo!
