Zebra And Snake’s ‘Empty Love Song’

Empty Love Song is the forthcoming new single from Zebra And Snake,a band who have been pretty schizophrenic over their formative years, but have seemed to settle doing into an electronic Post-Punk dance groove, and that suits us just fine. It’s probably appeal to fans of darker ‘80’s stuff and Chillwave too,

Joona Mantere directs the clips, which is as enigmatic as the track itself, very muddy, Z&S are probably better off in that bubble, nice and clean. Check below the clip for a free download of the track.

We’ve already written about Au Revoir Simone’s Erika Spring’s new single Hidden, having read that, now have a gander at some images that are moving at the same time as the song.

The video is directed by Celia Rowlson-Hall, not really sure what’s going on, but it looks nice, and in the end, isn’t that all that counts?

Casio searches for the UKs best synth player

Believe it or not, Casio have made some classic synths in their time. Both the CZ ranges (I had a 101 myself) and the VL-Tones (particularly the VL-1) were pretty uncool when released but over the years have achieved cult status. Samplers to, like most people my introduction to sampling was the circuit benders favourite the SK-1 and there was a time when the FZ-1 was in a race with the Akais to become industry standard.

Casio are returning to the world of synth with the forthcoming release of their new XW range, lead by the XW-P1.

Santigold’s ‘The Keepers’ video

Here’s the video for Santigold’s new single, The Keepers. A driving, politically and socially charged, ElectroPop track and one that is infectiously catchy with it’s message.

Santi White herself directed the clip, which I think manages to get across some of what she is saying in the song.

The Keepers is out now.
