Chris Tall – Roller Skater

ChirsTall

Slow burner that’s drenched in neon goodness. The song harks back to the synthpop of the 80’s.  Picture Lykke Li meeting up with Giorgio Moroder to produce this track and you’re more than half way there.

Marsheaux – The Sun And The Rainfall

After the departure of  principle song writer Vince Clarke from Depeche Mode the band turned to Martin Gore to pen the bands second full length album, “A Broken Frame”.  It was quite a departure from their poppy sound to a something much darker.   It wasn’t well received but it laid the ground work for what would become the bands new sound.  Fast forward to 2015 and a greek synthpop duo named Marsheaux revisits the entire album, track by track, and breaths new life into these classic tracks.  They’ve laid their breathy vocals and punched up the rhythms on these covers and re-introduce us yet again to the brilliance of Depeche Mode.
