So I realise it's been a while in between posts, mainly because I've been lazy but also because I've been busy moving to the party capital of Victoria in Mildura. Anyway, somewhere amongst my hectic schedule I've found some new tunes to listen to.
The first is by newly formed band Cat's Eyes. If you recognise the vocals it's because the guy is Faris Badwan, lead singer from The Horrors. Bit of a darker tune but I'm just loving the harmonies of the overlying chorus sung by the relatively unknown Rachel Zeffira, apparently a renowned opera soprano and classical multi-instrumentalist. Hmm. Good tune anyway and thanks to Zan Rowe for the tip!
New music from UK band Cults has been doing the rounds on the blogosphere also. You might remember their track Go Outside from my list of last year's top 100 songs. They play a simple yet unique brand of 60s-inspired indie pop and it's just fun to listen to. This is newest track Abducted, and will be on the forthcoming debut release in June this year. Wait for it to really kick in around the 40 second mark.
And finally, to make up for the lack of posts over the past two weeks here's a new track from seasoned indie act Metronomy. Their latest release 'The English Riviera' has so far seen the band produce a more chilled sound but still of the highest quality. This is The Look. I remember being a bit indifferent at first but give it a few listens and it will definitely grow on you! You can also check out the video here.
