  • Lismore – Sunrise Girl Says…

    lismore.jpg

    Fun electro pop track with great synths and vocals.   Here is the artist bio from wiki:

    Lismore is a Jersey City, NJ electronic music group formed by vocalist Penelope Trappes and composer/instrumentalist Stephen Hindman in 2002. The group uses both live instruments and programmed beats to achieve their sound.

    History

    Two next door neighbors, Australian-born Penelope and Ohio-bred Stephen, an ex dj/producer (Kingsize), blindly began making electronic pop songs together unwittingly creating their acclaimed glitchy debut CD, We Could Connect Or We Could Not. Influenced by the NYC club scene, analog synths, and touring, Lismore dropped the glitches, 2 band members, and 2 long-term relationships, and morphed themselves into a fattened up, laptop-based, rambunctious indie-disco duo. As ‘You Aint No Picasso’ said: “Lismore sound like a wicked collaboration between Ladytron and Daft Punk.”

    Lismore has been playing in NYC and extensively touring the US and Canada throughout 2005, 2006, and 2007.3

  • Huski – Undatow

    TGIF — and to put everyone in the right mood for a great Friday night, I present, Huski. Sounding alot like Goldfrapp (think dance version Goldfrapp), with sultry vocals (courtesy of Maple Bee) and chilled electronic beats (courtesy of Pike).

    last.fm wiki bio:
    Huski – Happy accidents aren’t called as much for no reason. Often from the most unlikely of sources comes something special. So it was one night in mid 2005 when producer Pike found himself at a party in a Turkish restaurant watching an impromptu two song set by Maple Bee. Pike didn’t know anything about Maple apart from he had to work with her. Bending the truth completely he approached Maple and asked if she could sing on some tracks he had written. Pike didn’t have any songs or even a full set up for Logic Audio. But the connection had been made.

  • Lissi Dancefloor Disaster – I don’t want my tv you can have it

    From Sweden, comes Lissi Dancefloor Disaster with her harder edge electro mixing in elements of chip tune for good measure. Now, I know this is gonna bother me until I figure it out, but the melody in this track is taken from a well know 80’s track — but for the life of me I can’t place it. So all you out there with the Killer ears, lend me your ear drums and post what melody she is taking from.

    UPDATE: Jazgar left a comment in regards to the 80’s song that Lissi took the melody from, it’s Cat Stephen’s, “Wild World”.   whew… now I have peace of mind 🙂
