Cocorosie - Lemonade



Cocorosie seems to be challenging Fever Ray/the Knife for interesting sounds and unsettling subjects/music videos. Who knew creep was becoming a niche market?

The American born, Parisian based, sister-centered (Bianca and Sierra Cassidy) CocoRosie have been bringing their unsettling yet beautiful sound to audiences across Europe and the US since 2004. Their 2010 release Grey Oceans continues their journey into the manipulation of sound and living on the edge of acceptable music. Definitly worth the listen.

Knuckles - What I Like



Let's continue with the Suped Up Running Music. Knuckles (now known as Sovgner) hails from Paris and packs quite a musical punch. Personally, this makes me want to organize an urban relay team.

Vitalic - Second Lives



I'm back baby! Being homeless and without internet for a few days really can cramp blogging efforts. But no matter now! Let's kick off things with Vitalic's "Second Lives" from their 2010 album Flashmob. Now, this posting drifts slightly from my normal indie or pop song posts, but I really enjoy techno-trance music every now and then. On his most recent album, Pascal Arbez (aka Vitalic) captures the new disco influence that is emanating through dance clubs and recording studios. Overall, the album is a very strong showing for the electronic industry, an industry who fell out of popularity once the rave scene died away. But, if you are looking for really inspirational running or exercise music, I would recommend checking Vitalic out!

Goldfrapp - Alive



Goldfrapp released her new album Head First earlier this month. The retro-respective romp provides a nostalgia for sounds that were predominant in the 1970s and 1980s. The video for "Alive" is no exception. The current craze of vampires is melded with the 80's throwback of large hair and legwarmers. Enjoy!
