Monarchy – Black The Colour of My Heart

Monarchy is a duo based out of the UK, and are taking the Daft Punk approach to secret identities.   Not much is know about them other than they produces  stellar electronic pop.  Black the Colour of My Heart is my favorite track of theirs thus far with it’s soulful vocal delivery and it’s minimal drum backing.  Reminds me of a mix between Sam Sparro (Black and Gold) and Maroon 5.

Year of the Tiger – Electric

Named after the 2010    Chinese New Year, Year of The Tiger sent a sultry electro track that reminds me of one of my beloved Goldfrapp’s tracks, “Strict Machine” but with more of a rock edge to it.

Year of The Tiger is Sable & Henry who appear to have only started producing music together since December of 09.  In a word, “WOW”.   Excellent production adorns all their tracks, and Sable’s voice has that bit of edge that I always love from a vocalist.   You don’t know if she wants to beat you up or wants to seduce you, but either way it’s going to be exciting.
