Chew Lips - Karen
Tigs voice has a very alluring quality that silently reels you in. However, listening to their songs, you'd realise they sound very similar to each other, and this recipe of building on her vocals with synths and the keyboard are repeated.
Beach House - 10 Mile Stereo
Oh yeah, I certainly could leave this on repeat for a 10 mile drive. It's secretly addictive as they don't waste time and open with the line "the heart is a stone and this is a stone that we throw" singing of casting the heart away. The whole dreamy soundscape produced by the synths has become their trademark, and it's what makes this song so lovely. A very peculiar love song that only Legrand and Scally would know the meaning of, while we indulge in said song.
Class Actress - Let Me Take You Out
If I had to describe this song as a woman, it would be a one who is quite pretty, but therein doesn't like the beauty. It's her eyes, the sparkle and the youth emanating from those eyes. That's what this song is like.
Blue Roses - Does Anyone Love Me now
Oh how she reaches those high notes perfectly. As she goes "ohohohohohoh", sighing delicately while trying to find answers about her burning question from the deep sea.
This is said of Blue Roses on their official site, "Instant praise is neither expected nor sought; Blue Roses is not the stuff of lists, tip offs or hollow press recommendations; this is not recollection, it is realisation. It is not music to be forced onto the public for social measurements, or on the merit of affiliation. Blue Roses is to be found, kept and cherished; it is to be absent as the dust begins to settle, and longed for as ambience resumes. Blue Roses is the serendipity that can only happen when you thought you’d stopped looking; as you realise how life sounds without it, you begin again."
How true. Give me a moment to ponder while I click play again and leave her to enchant me beyond measure.
