Music Monday 66.
Lana Del Rey - Video Games
Lana Del Rey has suddenly popped up on about every "One to watch" list I've see this week, and listening to her first single, Video Games, it's easy to see why. The pouting beauty has an epic melencholy feel to her songs, they feel as if they would slot right into classic Hollywood. The video feature archive footage over everything from pool parties to police arrests, it's got a feel of vintage American about it. It is reported that because of this song, she sold out her first gig in half an hour, impressive. As they say, one to watch.
Real Estate - It's Real
Now for something MUCH more cheerier, Real Estate. This piece of dreamy, indie-pop is simply wonderful. It reminds me of summer as I stare out of my September window that is being lashed by rain. Hmmm.
Deaf Havana - I'm A Bore, Mostly.
This is the first single proper from Deaf Havana with their new line-up, minus their screaming singer. Without their screamer, I don't know if they sound better, but they are certainly more accessible and have the potential to become more successful. There's a million of these rock/emo bands out there, too many are terrible, but Deaf Havana show some intelligence in putting their songs together, some tidy instrument work and some lyrics which aren't too bad.
Justice - Audio, Video, Disco
And finally, Justice are back! Whilst it may not be D.A.N.C.E (I'm not sure anything will be again), it's good! As usual, Justice are taking the other route to everyone else, and that is what sets them apart. It's what makes them one of the best at what they do.
