CHEW LiPS

"minimal dance-pop

"coupling techno beats with smart-mouthed edgy vocals"

• London electro pop trio, formed in spring 2008.
• the release of the killer single solo really got these guys into the industry.
• each song formed around the most simple chords and synthesizers, yet catchy as hell.
• both singles, "solo" and "salt air" released through kitsuné.

SOLO:

SALT AIR:

Frankmusik - Completed.

-FFFFfrankmusik, aka Vincent Frank has been a favorite for a while now, through discovering the songs , "In Step" ( still his best) and "3 little words" last year, i have come to appreciate.

-His long awaited debut album "complete me' was released last week in england, with some crappy review by NME. They haven't really being reviewing well recently, giving florence and little boots a 7 seven and old mystery jets album a 6 !

-NME gave 1 with the witty comment of " NO FRANKS!" haha no thanks.....

- So tracklisting( their are so many different ones, but this one has all the good songs).

1. In Step
2. Better Off As Two

3. Boyfriend

4. Confusion Girl

5. Your Boy

6. When You're Around
7. 3 Little Words
8. Wonder Woman
9. Complete Me
10. Vacant Heart
11. Time Will Tell
12. Done Done
13. Run Away From Trouble

- The track names give , a pretty shit impression as, pretty much every song you can relate to a girl/ relationship.
- The three singles, "three little words", "better off as two" and "confusion girl" arn't really the songs i would choose.
- The rest of the album is quite the good. Some of the songs are straight up shitty-pop, ie "Boyfriend"(not a fav) and "Your boy".
- Alot of his songs are way better acoustic, like the "L-gaga".
- I would give this a 7 bordering on 6, yet there are some ridiculously good songs.When your around is genius, probably the best beat/tune, with wonder woman following (though the gay name kinda lets it down). And then "complete me" the slow emotional one with the catchy chorus.
- GET this album, listen to it driving in the sun , and love life.

download: WHEN YOUR AROUND, WONDER WOMAN, COMPLETE ME AND CONFUSION GIRL.

Yep, just so warn you, this album is POP at the max. Yet if your able to slide round your the alternative indie mindset you might just see some genius.

When your around:


Wonder woman:

b l u e s k i e s a r e c o m i n g

you don't know why your crying. everything just seems a blur, like your walking through a thick fog. you miss your closest friend who is yet so far away. nothing seems to have a purpose, and who knows what you'll be doing next. where can, where should you be. you haven't found what you've been looking for, and needing to change. now talking to your talking to strangers, not your friends. but blue skies are coming

blue skies:

Noah and the whale- first days of spring

they dont love you like i love you

Maps:

yeah yeah yeahs.

A Breath of Fresh Air.

Raised with no musical training except a few singling lessons it would seem hard for a south-london girl to crack the charts. By the age of 12 Florence Welch had already formed her own punk band, "The toxic cockroaches" with only a drummer and her voice. Upon leaving school and joining art college, Florence became involved with the punk band , "the ludes". This was the trigger that started her musical career and soon rocketed her in to stardom winging the critics choice award.

Lungs is mainly about the break up of Florence and her boyfriend from 'the ludes". Songs such as 'drumming song' are about the frustration and emotions felt upon seeing him. Each song seem very emotional and you can almost imagine someone screaming them out upon a cliff. With opening single of "dog days" followed by the second single " rabbit heart", the album begins with a strong opening. Tracks such as "I'm not calling you liar" and "hurricane drunk" might not be as powerful as other tracks yet show a more melodic simplistic side contrasting with the more violent "kiss with a fist" and " girl with one eye". Each song is built upon the simplest chords and patterns, "my body builds coffins" is only based round three chords while the self-devised song of "between to lungs' florence describes as just banding around on the keyboard one night. My 3 favorite songs off this album are, Howl, Cosmic love and Drumming song. Howl being the probably most powerful song with great lyrics, Cosmic love with a mystical harp, being the most atmospheric song and Drumming song, a catchy tune rippling with rhythm, something Beyonce would die for.

NME MUST HAVE BEEN SMASHED OF THEIR FACES TO GIVE THIS 7.

Micachu & The Remixes.

MICA LEVI.

Have blogged about her debut album 'Jewellery' before. A part time classical composer, creator of new wacky instruments and highly acclaimed by thousands of artists. In summary she is a musical genius creating indie pop with a twist.

--> stumbled across some of her songs i'd never heard before, as they were only featured on the promo of "Jewellery". I love them though i cant believe they weren't on the final album.

Worst Bastard.

Wrong

As much as I don't really like remixes these two Micachu related one's are incredible. The first being a remix by my new favorite "We Have Band" and the second, a remix by Micachu. Enjoy and appreciate, hopefully this will get Shakira out of you head.

( last two are married).

- London, England .

- Formed after meeting in the london offices of EMI.

- Debut album is currently being recored.

- They describe them selves as a 'disco rock trio' yet i think they fit a " indie dubstep jumble of noises'.

- First heard about them a year ago with their demo of "you cam out". Didn't really grip me though. It was the single OH! which really got me.

- Their music video's are incredible. Really wacky though.

- Their remix's are even better.

- All three equally create the music with Darren primarily on percussion, Dede on sampler and Thomas on guitar. All three sing too.

- This band is my favorite at the moment.

Their tracks are pure indie genius. Each structured differently with wierd noise and synth effects, all together creating a noise you've never heard before.
