This track can be found on the Xiu Xiu’s 2006 release entitled, “The Air Force”. Xiu Xiu (pronounced show-show) are from Oakland, California and this particular track shows the band harnessing more of a 80’s Goth’s feel mixed with a slight EMO edge.

Viva Voce from Portland, Oregon have sweet an indie, psychedelic sound. The group formed back in 1998 and recently have placed several of their tunes on national ad campaigns such as All laundry detergent (“Fashionably Lonely”), Microsoft Zune (“Special Thing”), and Motorola (“Lession No. 1”). Apparently they are doing something right.

Dee Plume and Sue Denim met each other at the University of Liverpool and formed the electro-pop band, Robots in Disguise. This track in particular has a subtle synth pad sound for a bass line which is colored with an acoustic guitar and a very acoustic snare drum and rim shot that punches through the mix. The vocals are very art school.
They describe their sound as, “… Indie, punk, funk, rock. That sounds a bit pretentious doesn’t it? It’s a bit of everything with an electro backing and two vocals harmonizing.”
