Today I don’t feel happy so there will be no intro and little chatter.
The Soft Moon – When It’s Over (mp3)
You fight and fight them for days and years, but the monsters in your mind are still there, persistent, and one day you’ll drop your guard and they’ll inevitably take over. This is more psychopathic than psychedelic.
Acid House Kings – Are We Lovers Or Are We Friends? (mp3)
Best be clear: there’s no acid house on offer either. Instead it’s insatiable, irresistible pop. I’m not even sure it’s that good: I just can’t resist it. Actually I take that back; I’m pretty sure it’s bloody great.
Faith & Mark – Dance Close (mp3)
Under throbbing lights you thrash and make shapes and weave and twist and two-step… then the song ends, and you realise you haven’t even left for the club yet and maybe you took the first one a bit early?
Expensive Looks – Found Out (mp3)
This sounds like a rock band performing inside a car wash; you’re outside, and it sounds groggy, grim, great.
Dead Man’s Bones – My Body’s A Zombie For You (mp3)
There’s something slightly alarming about a school choir, or whatever this is, singing such a fucked-up lyric as ”my body’s a zombie for you” so sweetly. Did I say alarming? I meant fantastic. They even get some spelling practice towards the end, so what’s not to like?
Yeah!
