Parachutes, Halogen

Halogen

My friend Nicci (aka yeahyoureright) sent me a link to this incredibly sensitive and joyful video called "Moments". It features the song Where Were You by Reykjavík's Parachutes.

Also, I urge you to listen to Halogen from Perth, Australia. Their music reminds me a bit of the early Pretty Girls Make Graves, just a bit softer maybe.

Jakobínarína, My Federation, The Kissaway Trail

Highly commended, week 15/09

Music from computer games. Back then: Fuzzy electro sound in the intros or loading sequences of games like Xenon II and World Games. Now: Pop. Here are a couple of bands whose music gets played in the background of what's currently my favourite football video game: Jakobínarína, My Federation and The Kissaway Trail.
