Goin’ Old School: Peter Godwin – Baby’s In The Mountains

Peter Godwin‘s 1983 Italo/Pop ‘hit’ ‘Baby’s In The Mountains’. I use the word ‘hit’ loosely, despite it being a classic slice of 80’s electronic Pop it has been largely forgotten.

The Naked & Famous’ ‘The Sun’ video

Here’s is the new video for The Naked & Famous’ ‘The Sun’. The track is a really cool deep SynthPop track.

Directed by Joel Kefali and Campbell Hooper for Special Problems, the video is pretty NSFW. You have been warned. There is boobs. You have been prepared.

‘The Sun’ is taken from The Naked & Famous’ début album ‘Passive Me, Aggressive You’.

Goin’ Old School: Fad Gadget – Collapsing New People

Frank Tovey A.K.A Fad Gadget was a genius and a pioneer. That’s science fact!  1984’s ‘Collapsing New People’ features Einstürzende Neubauten banging away on stuff in the background (as they do).

LCMDF’s ‘Take Me To The Mountains’ video

LCMDF (I don’t think we are allowed to call them Le Corps Mince De Françoise anymore) are gearing up for the release of their next single ‘Take Me To The Mountains’.

Here’s the video, suitably raw and raucous for LCMDF, as is the track, but insanely catch too. ElectroPop as only LCMDF can make. Really love that late 80’s Depeche Mode-esque bass in the bridges.

‘Take Me To The Mountains’ is released 12th September with reMixes from The Orb, Mad Decent, DJ Skeet Skeet, MVSEVM and Get Well Soon.
