I'm not into this type of music usually ( "electro-reggeaton" anyone?! ) but this track is definetly one of the rare exceptions. And the video is just soooo crazy!!!!!! I think it will definetly get you smiling...or bouncing naked with a neon on your head!
A song from one of my TOP10 favorite albums of all time was played live for SPIN recently.
Originally sung as a duet with PJ HARVEY, "Eyepennies" is so sad and pretty; I can never get tired of it. If you are not familiar with SPARKLEHORSE, this is a good introduction to his melancholic melodies and black hearted hooks. Enjoy!!!
Fans of "old-school early 80s dark wave" might just faint right now...and those not that familiar with this genre or thrilled by the more obscur side of music will probably enjoy it too!
Nice driven beat, hysterical synths and raw vocals in the style of Faris Badwan, frontman for "The Horrors"! Turn it up real loud and scare your boring neighbors now!!! Haha.
Groove Armada is a name I've heard often, but usually didn't really gave them much of a listen 'cause everytime it was like this: "ah...this is good....aaah no, cheesy electro pop...ok now we get the rap that ruins the song I thought was great so far".
Maybe now I would go back to their older songs and would discover some hidden treasures I walked over back then?...and maybe not.
All I can tell you this week is that their new album "Black light" ( out now ) is definetly worth listening too. I hear influences like New Order, Grace Jones & MGMT...very nice for electro pop!
Here is the first single "Paper romance" and one of my favorite tracks on the album "Look me in the eyes sister".
