St. Vincent - Actor
A wonderfully off-kilter indie-pop album. The brilliant opening track 'The Strangers' grabs your attention straight away but you start to loose attention a bit though toward the end of the album. But I'm sure if I become more familiar with it it'll sound better and better. Great stuff though.
The Field Mice - Skywriting + Singles
I can't get enough of this band at the moment. This is a combination of their
Skywriting album from 1990 and their singles from that period. This is a bit more experimental than their debut
Snowball and has more electronic elements creeping into their sound, sometimes sounding reminiscent of New Order. There's still plenty of traces of the jangle-pop sound from
Snowball on certain songs and the two styles seem to compliment each other well.
