This is some lovely shoegaze electro-pop. What an elegant wall-of-sound! Unraveling the countless threads of melody and noise in this song would be like trying to diffuse a bomb while dreaming. My song of the day is "This Enchantment" by Hatchie. 

Hatchie, Wikipedia tells me, is the stage name of Harriette Pilbeam, an Australian singer-songwriter and musician. There is, by the way, a lot of great new music coming by way of Australia and sister island New Zealand. 

As is so often the case, I came across this song on my favorite music sharing/promoting site letsloop, which offers a wealth of musical gems to discover and rediscover.

Song of the Day: "Gigantic" by the Pixies

"Gigantic"--with its contagious bassline and sweet, breathy vocals by bassist Kim Deal, is pretty much sex on wheels. The Pixies, one of the most driving, furious and curious bands to emerge in the late '80s are not universally known. Their fans, though, are avid. 

At least I'm avid. I consider The Pixies to  among the best rock bands to come out of the United States, and their catalogue is the gift that keeps on giving.

Song of the Day: "Lately" by Porches

My song of the day is "Lately" by Porches, which Wikipedia tells me is "an American synth-pop project of New York-based musician Aaron Maine."

This tune is angst on-repeat. There's an aggression between its richly produced, hypnotically repetitive surface that is the very definition of rock 'n roll. Also, everyone likes a singer with an Iggy Pop stare and a working class British accent, innit?
