This is the second post from me for Roisin Murphy, and looks like the team up with Andy Cato from Groove Aramada is going to pay off in a big way.  This is the second track to be released from Roisin Murphy’s future album entitled, “Overpowered”.  This track kinda hovers in the area usually reserved for Everything But the Girl with the typical house chord progressions, pop structure and disco-esque builds.  The track starts out with a minor ballad and then starts the build up to the disco track epic it will eventually become.

Part Radiohead, part UNKLE, part Coldplay diffused with electronica and clicky-pop-scratch piano chords and you get the picture.

Let’s see… add a falsetto vocal track, glaring guitar riffs, women moaning and groaning, 80’s synth strings, samples ripped from various Prince tracks, and yup what you end up with is a Prince track.  Funny thing though, it isn’t a Prince track but instead Ursual 1000 with “Electrik Boogie”.  This thing can’t possibly sound more Prince, well.. ok, maybe if they threw in a Purple Rain reference…

Evidently, the concept for the music video for Beirut’s “Postcards from Italy” was to purchase family made videos from ebay.  The footage was cut and spliced to produce the following video:

In case this one slipped by you in 05, I’m here to bring it back.  Easily one of the best song of 2005 from one of the best albums of 2005.  “My Patch” is found on the “Tower of Power” album from Jim Noir.Part Beatles, part Beta Band,  part ELO and a Beach Boys (think Pet Sounds) bridge thrown in for good measure and you have the main ingredients for “My Patch”.  This album also produced such hits as, “Eanie Meany, & “Computer Song”.
