Clubfeet - Last Word
Their music combines dreamy melodies with a touch of melancholy and is perfect for dancing the night away or quiet Sunday mornings in the rain. The song “Last Word” is a good example of this: atmospheric, gentle, but with depth. Particularly noteworthy is the remix by Andrew Maury, better known as RAC, which gives the track a special, danceable touch. Clubfeet prove their sensitivity for modern electronic pop music with feeling.
Kosheen - Addict
Markee Substance and Darren Decoder once again lend the sound dark, manic electronica, bringing together all the stylistic elements that Kosheen fans love so much. The idea of taking drum'n'bass in a different, more open direction, with vocals and more soul and the will to be able to play live on stage, emerged towards the end of the nineties. However, there's not much drum n' bass to be heard in “Addict”, which personally doesn't bother me at all. “Independence” takes Kosheen away from the mega labels and makes the band more independent, which is noticeable in the video, for example. Only a preview of just under a minute is available on YouTube.
Giantree - Communicate
Giantree released their debut album “We All Yell” in March 2012 and hail from one of our neighboring countries, Austria. The song “Communicate” in particular impresses with an exciting contrast: lush synth pads meet thoughtful, melancholy lyrics. The sound is delicately arranged and emotionally charged - pop with depth and a lot of atmosphere. Giantree succeed in expressing both lightness and melancholy with their music. The band hails from Vienna and quickly became an insider tip for lovers of melodious indie productions.
