LA based band with a horrible name, but beautiful music. Seriously, ”Techno Squirrels”… I keep picturing a little kid with glow sticks and a Casio churning out techno from his bedroom. Here’s hoping they change their name….

Well, I guess I’m late to the game on this one. Neverheard of Wolfsheim until today and I’m pleasently surprised how good they are at crafting memoriable synthpop/goth tunes. Vocals remind of Peter Murphy, from Bauhaus fame.
Be sure to check out thier myspace page for more tunes.

Here’s a white label produced by Sebastien Leger where he edits Quench’s, “Dreams”. Give this track a couple of minutes for it to really kick in with the smooth progressive house sounds of Sebastien.
