electronic indie pop (“lappop”) from Belgian Arne Van Petegram (aka Styrofoam). A veritable collection of indie pop and electronic indie people: Ben Gibbard from Postal Service and Death Cab (music on 1, 3, 5, 9; vox on 3), Valerie Trebeljahr of Lali Puna (vox on 1), Markus Archer of Notwist (music on 1, 9), Andrew Kenney of American Analog Set (vox on 6), and Alias (music on 3, 5, 9; rapping on 1). Enough about that: is it good? yes. Solid and enjoyable all around. glitchiness varies.
-Adrian No FCCs (I think)
picks: (pretty much all of them) 1, 2, 6, 8, 9
1. pretty laid back groove. m vox during the verses, f during the chorus and a m rap. it all works well together
2. glitchy beginning. guitar. m vox.
3. interesting percussion (pots and pans?), m vox. no, this isn’t the Postal Service
4. slightly video game beginning. instruments enter gradually. laid back vocals keys, caffeinated beat
5. fairly-slow. smooth vocals.
6. med-slow. build of instruments, breathy vocals. nice interlude with cut-up vocals and glitches. falsetto vocals in the second half
7. distorted guitar, “1-2-3-4” repeated during build.
8. guitar, m+f vox, good indie pop (plus an electronic beat)
9. long (9:15), piano, somewhat detached m vox,
