Wing Commander
Wing Commander is not just an awesome band name! Oh no, it’s two dudes making some pretty addictive chilled, glitchy vocal electronica.
Think an early Warp vibe with an almost The Postal Service-esq vocal delivery, it’s intricate and absorbing. Their début EP, ‘From 93 Onwards’ is a meticulously crafted journey in sound, taking in, not only, the dreamlike, emotive, electronica of the title track and ‘Talk And Talk And Talk’ but also ‘Polar’, which is Wing Commanders successful foray into traditional dance structures (which works as a dark electro track) and the Dubby Rap/Folk crossover of ‘Glimmer’.
The guys are currently working on new material and some big name reMixes and we’ll defiantly be looking forward to their new material.
♫ Wing Commander – From 93 Onwards
♫ Wing Commander – Talk And Talk And Talk
Wing Commander’s ‘From 93 Onwards’ is out now.

Uffie’s ‘Difficult’ video
I don’t care what the internet says! We still have love for Uffie.
I don’t understand, though, why it takes he so long to do thing, why the album took so long and completely missed taking advantage of all her hype.
Oh well, here is the video for her new single ‘Difficult’, one of my favourite tracks off the album and it’s the best video she’s made to date, easily!
The ‘Difficult’ single is released 18th October.

Pacific! – Narcissus – The Album
Swedish ElectroPop eccentrics Pacific! are finally on the verge of dropping their second album, ‘Narcissus’. Originally conceived at the soundtrack to a ballet the record works amazingly well sans avant-garde dancers in frocks.
From it’s ominous harpsichord opening the album you still feel there is something a bit proggy, a bit conceptual, about the album but the music speaks for itself. Like Jean-Michel Jarre on bad (or good) acid this album is in part atmospheric and enveloping (and a little scary!) but also sweeping and electronic. Washes of Jarre mix with hints of Goldfrapp (on the vocal tracks). Like felloe Swedes The Knife there is something of the avant-garde here but similarly they have managed to cram the experimental and leftfield into Pop songs and get away with it making the edgy and unsettling elements to Pacific!’s music soon feel strangle comforting.
They have laid out the record really well to, spacing out properly structured upbeat tracks like ‘Narcissus’, ‘Unspoken’ and ‘King Of The Knight’ with their floaty instrumental works such as ‘Cupid’ and ‘Halfheart’ to give the feeling (even without aforementioned avant-garde dancers in frocks) of narrative.
‘Narcissus’ drops 11th October on Alan Braxe’s Vulture label.

LectroLips
LectroLips are British duo Leo and Ant who revel in their love of ‘80’s synthesizer music.
It’s not all ElectroPop though, their début EP, ‘Exempt From Classification’s, opening track shows a massive nod to ‘80’s electronic funk and sets their EP up for a quite diverse journey through retro electronic Pop. ‘This Recorded Sound’ is a boarderline Modern SynthPop track but with more funk going on and and injection of ‘90’s dance production and ‘Ordinary Conversation’ is pure dancefloor slickness, throw that on in a club and even the most adamant wall sticker is gonna’ have to bust out his moves.
♫ LectroLips – This Record Sound
♫ LectroLips – Ordinary Conversation
All-in-all, LectroLips EP is a confident meeting of ElectroPop, Pop and Electro-Funk. The duo defiantly have a clear musical vision, unapologetically Pop and unapologetically synth funk and we here can’t wait to hear more.

Hot Chip, Bernard Sumner & Hot City
Hot Chip and New Order’s Bernard Sumner have teamed up, along with Hot City, to release a track for Converse’s collaborative series of tracks.
The track itself is an awesome 90’s House track, just listen to that piano and the 909 snares! When Bernard’s vocals kick it is it so distinctively him, kinda’ like a 90’s New Order reMix cut up with a Hot Chip track.
Anyway, just listen:

The Good Natured’s ‘Be My Animal’ single
We’ve already seen the video for, ‘Prisoner’ the B-side of The Good Natured new single, now it’s A-side time!
The lead track, ‘Be My Animal’ is powerful track, almost Industrial in places and an impressive and confident follow up to ‘You Body Is A Machine’. Check the video full of nervous energy.
Also on the single will be a cover of The Wombats recent track ‘Tokyo (Vampires And Wolves)’ which Sarah McIntosh reworks into a haunting aria.
♫ The Good Natured – Tokyo (Vampires And Wolves) (The Wombats Cover)
‘Be My Animal’ is released 1st November on Kids.

Fenech-Soler & Hervé, Part 2
Deep deep down. That’s where Hervé’s gone with his second reMix of Fenech-Soler latest single, ‘Lies’
Kinda’ like a dub version of his ‘Solar Flare reMix’ of the same song. Less vocals and more attention on the brooding bassline make this ‘Eclipse’ reMix a serious night-time epic.
♫ Fenech-Soler – Lies (Hervé’s Eclipse reMix)
‘Lies’ is out now and taken from Fenech-Soler’s self titled début album…which is absolutely awesome! Go and buy it now!
