That’s the sound of a heart, like a clock. Mine was on overdrive this morning but I came out with a drivers license out of it so it was all well worth it. I’m doing yet another LOTP post as I can’t stop loving them. In my opinion, LOTP is the Klaxons of 2008. Not so much hyped at the moment (I’m basing that on the fact that I don’t have 20+ LOTP remixes compared to “Atlantis to Interzone” alone) but they will all hype hype hype x10 verrrry soon. Also their clip for their latest single “Heartbeat” is probably my favourite music clip thus far of anything I’ve seen in 2008.
LATE OF THE PIER - HEARTBEAT
There’s a Hot Chip remix floating around but my pick of the bunch is the Zongamin remix (I wouldn’t call it _that_ much of a remix if you get my drift…). Buy the 12″, CD single or the 7″ at Juno homies.
The new kid on the Modular block is Ladyhawke aka Pip Brown and she is already creating a flutter around the world. Originating from New Zealand, she has traveled through Sydney and Melbourne and now resides in London where she continues to write dreamy synth-pop ballads drawing on influences such as Stevie Nicks and Van Halen (what a combo!). Ladyhawke already has a cult following which will soon explode into bigger things once her first single drops.
‘Back of the Van’ is the first official release from the half-bird half-lady songstress and will be out soon on Modular bundled with a massive collection of equally catchy remixes. Along with the Van She Tech remix, which we posted a couple of weeks back, the single also includes stellar remixes from the likes of Mock & Toof and Fred Falke!! Falke brings an added funk to the song, adding a huge slap bassline underneath her subtle vocal melodies. Pip also lends her sexy vocals to a track on Pnau’s latest album which could easily be mistaken for something straight out of the fluro era!
Keep an ear out for her next single ‘Paris is Burning’ which is set for release in June!
