Archangel – Square One

arch
Found this in my inbox, imagine Howard Jones playful synths meets Feist’s piano goodness and a pinch of edginess.

Press Release:

Archangel is the brainchild of Nick Webber, a young man with a strong will and a warped imagination, who spent a year and a half going quietly mad in the wilds of Wiltshire as he recorded his masterpiece aka the soundtrack of his life. He wrote, performed, recorded and produced his debut album himself in a self-built studio in Wiltshire. The result is a collection of songs which draw influence from sources as wide ranging as Roxy Music, Kraftwerk, The Associates, Motown, Bowie, INXS and Arcade Fire.

Current single “Do It Again” available to download from iTunes now, here’s the video:

Debut album “How To Lose Your Best Friend” will be released in August 2009

This track sounds a whole lot like the Knife meets Kate Bush’s “Running up that Hill.” You can add Ziegeist to collection of artists and bands that seem to be coming out of the wood work from Sweden. For example, The Deer Tracks, Lykke Li, and The Sounds to name a few. Unfortunately for us, Zeigeist have called it quits as of February 2009:

During the past years, we have put more and more love into Zeigeist, fed her like the Queen she have been. At the end of the day, she has demanded all love within us. We have our personal reasons to kill her.

The release of our next single/EP, “The Neverending Love”, a cover of Roxette’s first single, our first cover, will be moved to tomorrow (5th Feb). The EP also contents “Chasing your shadow all around the world” and a remix of “Humanitarianism” by the Twelves. With this EP, we call it a day. This is the end of Zeigeist. The Queen is dead.

So we raise our glasses, make a toast, a toast in your honor, and tell you this: The search continues. We’re going to find out about the Never. Ending. Love.

With thanks to all our fans

6PM – Down The Line (Jose Gonzalez cover)

I for one love accents on vocals — take for example, this cover of Jose Gonzalez’s “Down The Line” by 6PM. 6PM is the Spanish duo of Ivan Oubina and Rual Mon. This track can be found on their Tape Worms EP.
