What's been playing ...

... on my iPhone / Pad this week.

The Naked and Famous - Passive Me , Aggressive You

 

This was a find for me. Trolling iTunes last week checking out the "what's free" stuff I found a free download for  Punching in a Dream. Th e user reviews year very positive referencing groups like MGMT and M83. I thought "what the hell" and grabbed it without even listening to it.

Five minutes later I had bought the whole album and can't stop listening to it.  Yeah , they do have similar sounds to MGMT et al , for me being a child of the 80's, this album sent me back to the glory days of Siouxsie and the Banshees , OMD , The Cure and even a bit of Tears for Fears.

Young Blood is a great pop single - 

 

But my favorite on the album is The Sun

put your favorite headphones on, crank 'em up and listen as this builds from the soft piano in the beginning to a surround-you-with-a-wall-of-sound that'll make your head vibrate...
