Hello! I’ve posted up a new mixtape on Abstract Relations. This one is a compilation of some brand new neat nu/space disco & house tracks- including some sweet new remixes of Franz Ferdinand & Friendly Fires.

one of the best nights we had at Fash!
ONETTES. yes you got it right. When I first chanced upon them, I was thinking along the lines of the fictional band in That Thing You Do!, The ONEders. While sounding absolutely nothing like them, the Onettes have preserved the dark indie elements of 80s (the church, new order, echo and the bunnymen, the cure) and updated it for our current consumption. Well, not really an update but more of a revisit; I love how this swedish export marry the dreampop.shoegaze echo-y vocal elements with the new-wave drumming style of new order/joy division.
One criticism though: The mary onettes style of music make for at the most, 2 albums worth of listening. What happens in the 3rd (if there is a 3rd)? I cannot forsee/tolerate them having one more album that sounds almost identical as the first 2. Not unless you’re Interpol or Teenage Fanclub. But in the interest of good music history appreciation, most successful bands are able to retain their meaning and sound in the most different ways possible. I will be keeping my fingers crossed that The Mary Onettes do. For now, allow Philip Ekström and the boys remind you of how of wonderful the dark 80s sounded.
Free downloads:
Void (from S/T debut album) (right-click “save as”)
Lost (from S/T debut album) (right-click “save as”)
To be released 3rd November 2009.
The Magic Numbers are have put up their new song ‘Hurts So Good’ as a free download on their website. They are also touring UK at intimate club venues, where tickets are priced at a modest £10.
So if you’re not in UK to watch then live, you can always enjoy their new free download. Yippiee!
