So there's this Tallinn based electronic music group called Tiger Milk. They formed three years ago. They're a trio consisting of Eva K, Meelis Meri and Ville Veering. Eva is responsible for naming the band Tiger Milk (a family recipe for a strong alcoholic cocktail) and already I'm in love with her. In February 2011, Tiger Milk released its first radio single “Another World,” which defines their music as a "strong cocktail of rock, electronica, pop" and electro soul, but with a slightly darker twist. Earlier this month, they dropped this great looking clip for "The Game" and I'm feeling it today. Check out the promo (directed by Meelis Meri and Ville Veering) below.

So remember when we shared the debut video and single off ("Melyse") of Iiris' forthcoming full-length The Magic Girft Box (due 3/28)? That was good, but this might be even better. Late last week the Estonian artist who is releasing Magic Gift Box via EMI Finland dropped this great-looking promo for her 2nd single off the set, "Weirdo," and it's lighting up the web in Tallinn lately. Speaking of Tallinn, Iiris will be performing Sunday at the annual Tallinn Music Week showcase and we can pretty much guarantee you her show will be one of the most anticipated of the entire event. Simply put, as we predicted last year, Iiris is the best and most notable new Estonian altrock/pop singer going these days and possibly the next Bjork or Kerli. Check her latest below, directed by Andzei Matsukevits for Contrast Eye & Motion.

Holy fuck. Forget Madonna's just released 'Girl Gone Wild' clip, moments ago, Estonian artist living here in L.A., Kerli just dropped the video of the year so far for a song Madonna only wishes she had on her new record. "Zero Gravity" is god damn gorgeous and it's four perfect minutes of pop bliss with an EDM twist. The clip was shot here in Los Angeles at a studio in Glendale (area of east L.A.) and it looks otherworldly. Fitting for the Estonian godess that with any luck will be on the tip of everyone's tongue by summer. Also, the very good Laidback Luke remix of "Zero Gravity" may help this celestial jam make its way into some sets of big DJs this festival season. Check this 100% genius song/clip below now and share if you can. Dead at how great this entire package is.

Estonian pop star Getter Jaani is obsessed with New York, apparently. Last year, the singer represented her country at the Eurovision Song Contest with a unlikely yet catchy song called "Rockefeller Street," (heard in beginning of video below) all about New York City (even though there is no actual street named "Rockefeller" in NYC). Anyway, now the singer is done with Eurovision, yet she has chosen another song about the city that never sleeps, "NYC Taxi," to be her latest single. The clip below is a hybrid music video and live clip, taken from the opening of televised annual event Eesti Laul, Estonia's internal selection show to send possibles to ESC (Jaani kicked off the show recently in Tallinn with this song). Make sure to watch the entire clip, because it's kind of crazy and super NYC'd out! Or at least it's Manhattan as seen through the eyes of Estonians, which is to say bizarre and fascinating. Check it below.

Right now at this very minute Estonia's Teele Viira is at Estonia's Eesti Laul competition, hoping her song "City Nights" makes the cut to represent the country at the Eurovision Song Contest. We'll find out soon if she wins (UPDATE, she did not win), but really, she's already won in her home country because she recently put out this kind of awesome video where she is beating the living crap out of other Estonian women in some kind of underground Estonian Thai boxing party. It's like "Fight Club" for girls. In Estonia. Win or lose tonight at Eesti Laul, Teele (a former Eesti Superstaar contestant) is a champion, as you'll see in the clip below.
