Svoy: Eclectric

Svoy: Eclectric

Electronica is a tricky genre. There is a thin line between cool an uncool. One-man band Svoy crosses that line way too often. His album Eclectric would have a lot better if he would break out of the dreamy stuff. His programming skills are a lot better than his vocal range. Put the vox through some nerdy gizmos and try again.

MP3: Svoy - Stronger Than Wind

Eclectric is released thru Rendezvous Entertainment.

"All My Friends"

All My Friends

The new LCD Soundsystem/John Cale/Franz Ferdinand package All My Friends is available as of May 28:

As a stalwart of the New York Avant Garde, it's no surprise that the hugely influential and celebrated New York indie-electro outfit LCD Soundsystem asked John Cale to rework their incredible new single "All My Friends".
"All My Friends" is a relentless, guitar driven showpiece in the vein of Bowie's "Heroes" Or Iggy Pop's "Lust For Life" and Cale brings to his version his trademark sound making it an instant classic.
