Hello from the tundra! Hope your day isn't buried underneath
a snow pile somewhere. If so, hopefully this helps dig you
out. Welcome to The Jumpoff!
A-Side
This is an artist to pay attention to in 09. She burst onto the scene last year with the song, Chasing Pavements. I heard that song when it came out, and just knew 'that voice is going places'. Anyway, i was helping to celebrate my friend's b-day this weekend, she had her album playing in the car and i was reminded of why i thought that. She reminds me of a younger Alice Russell, absolutely soulful. But maybe a little less self-assured. Regardless, if she keeps going the way she is, you'll be hearing a lot more from her in the future. Here's two tracks from her debut album, 19. Adele - Best for Last/ Right as Rain
B-Side
Now to a group that sort of defies classification. Post-rock, experimental pop, loungy, indie-electronic-loungy-pop, it all fits. Formed in London in 1990, they've been independently handling business since. I can't really describe them any more, you just have to listen to them to form your own opinion. My guess is that they'll probably rub you the right way. Stereolab - Flourescences/ Excursions into Oh-Ah/ Cybele's Reverie/ Percolator
Seriously, who names a song "excursions into oh-ah"? Oh well, that's it for today. Keep on keepin' on. Until next time, be easy.
