See: PLGRMS release new video for ‘Fools And Their Gold’
Speaking of their new single, Jonathan Bowden, one half of Sydney duo PLGRMS, says “Fools And Their Gold speaks of someone denying the inevitable end of a relationship.

Track: Vogue Dots – If you stay
Out this week is the new single from Canadian Synth pop duo Vogue Dots.
