A beautifully dark track that gets a little help from Chase & Status. Chase & Status give it a little dub step action mixed with UK 2-step. Clare was inspired to write The Last Dance after the death of her hero. Michael Jackson. Clare reminds me at time of one my favorite vocalist, Annie Lennox. Clare will be releasing her album this February 28th.
From their 2003 full length, “Give Up” is one of my personal favorites from The Postal Service, “Nothing Better”. Has a slight nod to Human League – Don’t You Want Me with a he said, she said view of a couple’s break up.

When Saints Go Machine are an electronic pop group from Denmark and they have just released their EP titled, “Fail Forever”.
