~ frYars – “Visitors” ~
Yes, that’s Dave Gahan singing in the chorus. But that’s not the only reason why you should give this song a listen. Because the combination of frYars mature voice (he’s only 19) and Gahan’s recognizable vocals make this electro tune sound like a forgotten hit from the 1980s.
~ Cherbourg – “The Mill” ~
One of those oh-rip-my-heart-out-why-don’t-you and please-don’t-ever-end kind of tracks, purely because it’s so damn beautiful. British indie folk that I can only but highly recommend to anyone and everyone. From their EP Last Chapter Of Dreaming.
~ These Are Powers – “Double Double Yolk” ~
Experimental electronica with kooky vocals, lyrics and sounds. Addicting I’m telling you. The album as a whole is a bit too whimsical for me though.
~ Evening Magazine – “18 Wheels” ~
Sweet indie-pop that I meant to rec sooner but couldn’t because of Computer Fail ‘09. Nice combo of male/female vocals and a simple but effective chorus with handclaps. From their EP Ride Across Lake Constance which has more good songs on it.
~ Woodhands – “Dancer” (CFCF Remix) ~
The original is a fun party track, but CFCF’s remix turns it into a relaxing down-tempo with a bit of a 90’s vibe to it, which really suits the female vocals.
