Dan Black – Yours

dan_black

The BBC has just named Dan Black one of   fifteen artists to keep an eye on in the new year.     Dan’s strength comes from his vocals, and his nonchalant manner in messing up genres and making them his own.   Here is he’s first official single from his forthcoming album due early next year.

Gotye – Thanks For Your Time

Take some Peter Gabriel-esque vocals, mix in some old school Speak and Spell computer speak, and catchy bassline and you got the track from Gotye titled, “Thanks For Your Time”.     Love the break down in the middle of the track — wait for it around the 2:31 mark — in a word, brilliant!

Gotye hails from a city I’ve actually had the pleasure of visiting (there aren’t alot, hence why I’m pointing this out), Bruges which is located in Belgium.   However, Gotye (aka Wouter DeBacker) now resided in Melbourne, Australia.   I bring this to your attention, since you can hear the influcense of such citys in his music.   You can find this track as well as many others from his 2006 release, “Like Drawing Blood”.
