Electronic Pop | House
A shoegaze track with chorale-esque feel too it. Fight Bite is based in DENTON, Texas and comprised of Leanne Macomber and Jeff Louis III. Their sounds is somewhat in the vein of This Mortal Coil meets Julee Crusie. The entire album is quite special and should be picked up.

I imagined if Bjork had a younger punkier sister, her music would sound like Cornelia. In particular this track, with Bjork-esque vocal touches and minimal percussion and electro whispered beats.
My favorite line from this track:
“The Bitch is back no way to hide you” — Friggin brilliant!
Cornelia – The Meaning of that Day
Cornelia: ‘Oxygen is my friend.
Without her, you could say I just wouldn’t be.
My song… our song, that you hear – it’s a relationship. Our conversation.The air and my chest meeting at some half way point in my throat.
So, this is what I do. I write songs, and in turn they rewrite me.
I sing them.
I sometimes play them… or just play with them. The song needs to be played with; it has its own character and feel. Like plants, rabbits… they all need that arching fresh air to function.Sound sweet sound, whether I’m up or down.
My brain brim-filled with widespread layers of songs, pushing out of my nose and each corner of my eyes. I can’t stop it. It’s an all time flow, in close connection to both heart and mind.
Sometimes I have to travel far to look for that oxygen. Life is all about going somewhere, learning, meeting new friends. Change of decisions, making new arrangements on the side of plans you thought you had already figured out.’

Whimsical, dark, haunting, and all the while alluring. The entire album feels like being lost in otherworldly carnival with gypsies, mutants and royalty.
This song sounds like a spider slowly creeping up a spiral stair case, with the occasional webline drop but all the while still making its assent.
Prickly piano, LAMB-esque vocals and what sounds like at one point, a kazoo.
Press Release:
Los Angeles-based chanteuse/songwriter Alu returns with her sophomore album Lobotomy Sessions.
Often difficult to categorize, Alu’s sonic explorations and confessional lyrics – sometimes playful, often bizarre, and always captivating – take the listener on a strange and surreal journey to deepest realms of the body, mind and soul. Her highly cinematic music is a kaleidoscope of classical, jazz, electronic, pop, world, avant-garde, singer/songwriter, and Goth. Though comparisons sojourn through the likes of Bjork, Portishead, Tori Amos and Massive Attack, these are not based on likeness of style, but on originality.
Lobotomy Sessions features 10 cinematic soundscapes comprised of Alu’s brilliant lyrical observations on modern humanity along with her crystal clear, jazz-tinged vocals and whimsical Fellini-esque compositions. Tracks range from Alu’s confident cabaret swagger on “Buzzin’ In My Brain” and “The Metrosexuals,” to the medieval carnival vibe of “Circus Cosmos” and the gothic rhythms of “Black Cloud” and Aahhh.” Make no mistake, though, because the most important instrument on the CD is Alu’s voice and it sounds no better than on the emotional masterpiece “Amy.” It’s simply breathtaking music from beginning to end.
Lobotomy Sessions is the follow up to Alu’s critically acclaimed debut album Infomercial Gasmask. Regarded by the press as a “dark shaded masterpiece,” Infomercial Gasmask launched a strong international fan base and led to vast interest from music supervisors and filmmakers worldwide. Consequently, Alu has lent her highly visual music to the film world on many occasions. Her soothing song “Last Lullaby” features in the controversial action thriller “Juncture,” and this fall, a haunting remix of Alu’s brand new single “Recluse” will be included on the soundtrack to Clive Barker’s upcoming film “Midnight Meat Train.”
