Anomaly

This is on another level, it comes from Anomaly, an artist who unfortunately I don't actually know anything about except that this track of theirs Rush Hour was released a couple of days ago via a pretty reliable English label called Sick Music Records.

It kind of matches my sudden and current obsession with synth-fueled, pop-inspired records because instrumentally, it sounds a bit M83-ish. But there's something about the girls voice singing this which is completely hypnotic. Like I feel embarrassed tagging this as synth-pop cause the voice adds another dimension that kind of makes me think that using the word pop in any shape or form to describe this record completely undermines how good it is. The good news is that you can buy this immediately by clicking here

P.S. this is the first thing I've bought on iTunes in about 3 years, so enjoy:

M83

M83 is LA-based French artist Anthony Gonzalez. I've already posted about a pretty amazing track off the forthcoming album which is simply titled 'Intro', but now you can stream the entirety of the forthcoming album 'Hurry Up, We're Dreaming'; courtesy of Urban Outfitters before it's release date next week (Oct 18th), here:

Intro: M83

M83 just posted this on his soundcloud. I love a good intro. It's deceptively electro-disco-y at the beginning, but it suddenly just bursts into some pretty epic/dramatic vocals and drums, which hit you hard. Plus it features Zola Jesus. I played this and had to suddenly stop everything I was doing, lie down and just listen. I love it. The new album 'Hurry Up, We're Dreaming' will be out this October.
