Junior Boys – So This Is Goodbye

by ·

★★★★★ = Classic, essential listening

What’s it sound like?

Sparse kinda danceable electropop

Thoughts

I’ve listened to this record a ton over the years and revisiting it now I’m reminded of my 20s. A lot of these tracks are absolute classics. I find the cool/confident delivery of the vocals to be distinct and a big part of the appeal.

Phoenix – It’s Never Been Like That

by ·

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What’s it sound like?
Radio friendly pop-rock.

Thoughts
These songs are so apart of my fabric it’s hard to think about them objectively. This is pop-rock songwriting at it’s finest, refined in a radio friendly way but with a style that’s distinctly there’s. Thomas Mars is a fantastic frontman and I love his lyrics, kinda cryptic at times but he sings with an understanding of life that’s hard not to find part of your own self or experiences in.

I’ve got to thank Cyril for turning me on to these guys, probably my favorite French export after Daft Punk.

Daedelus – Denies The Day’s Demise

by ·

⭐⭐⭐

Daedelus is such an extraordinary talent that all of his catalog is worth a listen. I’m not always in the mood for his rapid fire production style but when I am I find there’s always something interesting to hear. Good tracks on days demise include viva vida and sama legrand.
