Music: Snow in Mexico, The Radio Dept., Tesla Boy
Snow in Mexico is a shoegaze, dream-pop band out of Rome with a chill, laid back drone to it. They have a free EP of 4 songs to download on their website/MySpace. It’s really good but it sounds like they need to clean up a few choppy edits. Definitely a band to watch.
The Radio Dept., the Swedish electro-dream-pop band just put out a new song called “Freddi and the Trojan Horse”. It has a dancier and darker sound than most of their other stuff which I really like (don’t get me wrong, I like their old stuff too!)
Tesla Boy came to me by way of the VALERIE collective and really knocked my socks off. Coming out of Moscow, this is some bad ass 80s style electro-pop. Listening to it so many times I’ve realized that there isn’t much ground breaking here (it’s like the 80s didn’t happen in Europe so they are do it now to catch up) but when it’s done so clean and well, who cares?
