Vocals from Camden Chamberlain remind me alot of David Byrne of Talking Heads, which isn’t a bad thing… in fact it’s very much welcomed.And the music reminds me of 80’s band Sparks on this track.
Cavedoll
Biography:
Cavedoll is busy. In 2008, Cavedoll is releasing no less than 10 albums, consisting of a huge array of new material as well as their re-mixed, re-mastered, and re-packaged back catalogue; an eclectic assortment of styles and sounds.
Their flagship album, “No Vertigo”, consists of 14 of their best indie-pop gems, drawing on influences as diverse as 60’s Pop, Electronica, 80’s Alternative, and Modern Indie-Rock. Cavedoll’s production and vocal team of Camden and Vanessa Chamberlain adds a rich layer of harmony and impeccable style to each of the highly textural tracks, while their seasoned rhythm section of Janet Marie and Jamison Wilkins keep the beats driving along like a finely tuned muscle car. Rounding out the group is Allison Martin, providing lush and tasteful keys.
Deciding to embrace the digital age of music-listening, Cavedoll is also releasing a DATA DVD which contains Cavedoll’s entire song catalogue in MP3 format (175+ songs) as well as album artwork, photos, and videos.
Cavedoll will be spending 2008 touring the western United States as well writing and recording new material in their Salt Lake City based recording studio.

Drenched in 80’s synths and drums machines comes The Defence from Edinburgh, UK, with a sound that reminds me of the Pet Shop Boys meets The Human League.
In the summer of 1995 Drew placed an advert in the Melody Maker. Keith, who had already been in several bands, responded and our band was born. We sent our first demo to the Human League, asking if we could support them on the tour they were doing at the time. We needed a name and picked “The Defence” – because we wanted a name starting with “The” and “The Accused” sounded too much like an indie guitar band. Although we didn’t get to support the Human League a rep from Harvey Goldsmith was keen on our tunes. In 1997 we asked Heaven 17 if we could support them at their Edinburgh Fringe show. To our delight their manager called us and said we could – only for the whole thing to fall through because the Fringe organisers had already allocated support slots. We had to make do with VIP passes to the show. Ah, the cruel world of show business. It’s a hard life constantly failing to become international pop-stars. Still, spurred on by the success of Electroclash and the thrill we get from producing records we know that world domination is just around the corner.
By the way, their entire album can be downloaded from their website:
Ok, so I’ve found my favorite album thus far of 2008, its Kelly Polar’s sophomore effort entitled, “I Need You to Hold on While The Sky is Falling“, which is scheduled for release March 3, 2008.
Not only is the album drenched in 80’s nostalgia such as Analog synths, appregiated synth cords, and beautiful DX-7 pad sounds, but true to the 80’s era of albums, this albums begs to be listened to from start to finish. This is such a breath of fresh air from modern releases that sound more like a collection of singles that are just thrown together for the sake of releasing an album. Album boarders at times as synthpop, other times gets nearer to an 80’s Prince-esque sound, and yet at other times gets closers to that New Romantic sound of ABC and Thompson Twins.
This track in particular is more inline with classic Human League sound meets Thompson Twins groove.
Influenced by all things 80’s, Manzur Iqbal from Manchester UK has set out to recreate 80’s themes with a twist. Part DaftPunk, part Justice, and part pop you’ll get 80’s imagery with no problem here.
