A bit more on the gothic side of electronic rock. Well done and full of atmosphere and mood.
Speak – Gates
Reminds, vocally that is, of Passion Pits coupled with Peter Bjorn and John instrumentation.
Gates will be on tour this summer with Gemini Club.
City Rain – The Optimist
Take the Rock energy from The Presets and splash in some melancholy from The Postal Service and top if off with a Giorgio Moroder bassline and wala, you have “The Optimist”, from City Rain. Well balanced mix of Rock, Pop, and electronic musings.
