Often i ignore these, but it was so simple and not full of the usual crap that I figured i'd make the effort. As such, it turns out <a href="http://www.myspace.com/wearefez">Fez</a>, outside of the reasonably woeful name, actually make simple, breezy and uplifting indie-pop tunes.<br /><br />Lowlight is probably the best example of said style. Hooky vocals lead into big pop choruses, vocal harmonies and breakdowns that are likely to be in your head for days. And all of it is written without the pretention or unnecessary complexity of some of their peers which can leave sogs feeling cold and a little soulless at times, as though the artist has thought more about making hard to listen to and, as such, "cool" that they forgot to write a good song. No worries here, simple, friendly indie tunes at your service.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?izm2ez31zvt">Fez - Lowlight</a><br /><br /><br />Playing at the Water Rats in Kings Cross on 20th Feb.<br /><br /><br />J.<br /><br />XChuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09317148126091041441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827600109214191288.post-69403709815890177882010-01-13T11:20:00.003+00:002010-01-13T11:38:13.679+00:00Twine<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvg3_4i9iWtXQUmGhCquH4bua9JaaYnp34kRTwZjxem2eidlZbVE_ItlckH16Qyb79a24QjqgNim34LdBEuJfHt2nEY8ucfqpH5Z515hyphenhyphen0W8DuYUhweEz2ZE5yOfj4HVbSsJNt7AGWEXo/s1600-h/red-sunglasses.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 251px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvg3_4i9iWtXQUmGhCquH4bua9JaaYnp34kRTwZjxem2eidlZbVE_ItlckH16Qyb79a24QjqgNim34LdBEuJfHt2nEY8ucfqpH5Z515hyphenhyphen0W8DuYUhweEz2ZE5yOfj4HVbSsJNt7AGWEXo/s320/red-sunglasses.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426183325076297458" /></a><br /><br />I knew i didn't trust clouds, they have brought the return of my winter nemesis.

There were also a selection of very valid remixes as well, see Renaissance Man, What Breeze Do You Blow etc. This one is new to me though. IT takes the aching meoldies of "Shelter" and blends it with some sub bass and makes into into a heavy yet slightly lad back piece of half step melancholy. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?3wowizmnyyn">The XX - Shelter (Graphics Remix)</a>Chuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09317148126091041441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827600109214191288.post-39818234640718513012010-01-11T18:02:00.004+00:002010-01-11T18:20:05.432+00:00Love hurts<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAYkv1HXI84gLGhhgUHJL70RO7bel0rRaYehiO7hcIn06mYDnnlssjWzqIJcSd6m2cZEbttggAj9A9cauqgWvoeJA2yRfhiJvv4w5stTqjMHJH8xFerpwJ5zXBSmUIft0T3UqyJIIf8Ug/s1600-h/desire_new_54649s.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 218px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAYkv1HXI84gLGhhgUHJL70RO7bel0rRaYehiO7hcIn06mYDnnlssjWzqIJcSd6m2cZEbttggAj9A9cauqgWvoeJA2yRfhiJvv4w5stTqjMHJH8xFerpwJ5zXBSmUIft0T3UqyJIIf8Ug/s320/desire_new_54649s.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425546479188023554" /></a><br /><br />Rediscovered this old track when i picked up some new Desire last week and ended up marveling at it for a long time. <br /><br />This is an absolutely heartbreaking piece of disco-pop that absolutely display every second of pain she has been through.

This <a href="http://www.myspace.com/bagraiders">Bag Raiders</a> cover is a slow, gooey piece of electronica that you'll be hard pressed not to see the beauty in. And there is already much more on the sidelines waiting to come out.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.filestube.com/d7001e6a914d6d0c03e9,g/Hidden-Cat-Shooting-Stars-Bag-Raiders-Cover.html">Bag Radiers - Shooting Stars (Hidden Cat Cover)</a><br /><br /><br />J.<br /><br />XChuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09317148126091041441noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827600109214191288.post-50887763939663347222010-01-06T15:07:00.003+00:002010-01-06T15:11:59.094+00:00Scream<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5vaJu46gcJQRa0qBZCNEW39hGSEBeDRD6pXo3rrlFcC57kRLDg6eLFXcM_DdTl_eBlZ1w3XppmW3j38eUWSqXxA7MIWDZHNzbuuNh5iCcxyt5k2moT9SYeorI1ish7YtHV75TZdvHqGo/s1600-h/screendeath"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5vaJu46gcJQRa0qBZCNEW39hGSEBeDRD6pXo3rrlFcC57kRLDg6eLFXcM_DdTl_eBlZ1w3XppmW3j38eUWSqXxA7MIWDZHNzbuuNh5iCcxyt5k2moT9SYeorI1ish7YtHV75TZdvHqGo/s320/screendeath" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423643732450480562" /></a><br /><br />2010 is going to be the year the world discovers <a href="http://www.myspace.com/screendeath">Screendeath</a>.

The altered tempo of the vocal can take a couple of listens to get used to, but once your settled in it is fantastic and uplifting. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?m5zzmwmxlmz">Alan Pownall - A Life Worth Living (Jakwob remix)</a><br /><br />If it is not yet sold out, you can buy Alan Pownall's debut 7" "Clara" from <a href="http://www.puregroove.co.uk">Pure Groove </a> or itunes.<br /><br /><br />J.<br /><br />XChuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09317148126091041441noreply@blogger.com2
