Humming a diff'rent tune



It's time once more for a delve into some of the newer music that has pushed my buttons lately... And (not unusually) I have been in a bit of an electro vibe again!

Let us open with the newest release from the synth-tastic Ladytron. In the video, a freezing cold Helen Marnie is evidently worshipping at the shrine of Siouxsie (and who doesn't?)...


If ever you fancied a cross between minimalist 80s-style electro pop and camp old Bollywood movies, then this video by Citizens! [sic] (whose producer is Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos) should press all of your buttons... Hilarious - I love it!


Speaking of 80s influences - how about a band that describes itself thus?: "On one side, the cold and safe synthetics of a condom and the glamorous elegance of velvet on the other". What else would these crazy Strasbourgers be called but Velvet Condom... They are rather marvellous, too, in a sub-OMD sort of way:


Channelling the ghost of China Crisis is Brooklyn's finest The Ice Choir with their "nu-New Romantic" single Two Rings:


And finally...

From Trash Heaven - well South Korea - comes the gob-smacking talent that is Seo In Young, with what sounds like "Oh My Gash", but is in fact Oh My Gosh. My thoughts exactly. Eternal thanks to Mike over at Pop Trash Addicts for exposing this fabulous Luciana soundee-likey to the world...


Enjoy!
