2010 and female vocalists look like they’re off to a great start:
Laura Veirs:
I don’t know much about Veirs, but this is a great sparse folk track, and the rest of the album “July Flame” is excellent. Here’s hoping she crosses through Edmonton sometime in the summer. I’ve seen a few live videos are her voice is exactly the same between live show and studio.
Beach House:
Is it alright to call these tracks “sundrenched” now? Beach House has a lock of whatever the hell that category means: I think somewhere hovering around dream-pop, reverb effects, mid-tempo, and crescendos. Does that make any sense? Meh, another great track from a really cool band.
