kinky – presidente

this track definitely shows a different side to kinky fitting more into the mainstream rock sound. with similar styles to tom vek but heavily influenced by traditional norteña, kinky is able to combine an indie rock electronic sound, and keep the sexy latin flavor alive. this song opened my mind up to kinky, hooked me, and now i can’t get enough of them! although the first album tends to focus on percussion, it is still perfect for any open-minded iced tea drinker. 6 splendas.

phoenix – alphabet

i’m uploading the full album for a friend. the tracks on alphabet can be heard as poppy french rock with a similar hot chip vocalist. it’s pretty amazing how these songs can be heard on many levels: on the dancefloor, to lounge, to sleep, to concentrate. well produced! eight splendas!

phoenix – holdin’ on together

first off, think alternative rock. then imagine a soothing french vocalist singing in english. then consider a former daft punk member playing basslines. all together, you’ve phoenix. i first heard them in the film ’shallow hal.’ these guys put together the edge of daft punk’s ’something about us’ with some groovy guitars and memorable lyrical phrases. lots of soul can be heard to fit many moods with a dance beat. with their own custom built studio, it’s no wonder the production of the album sounds incredible. i love how they use the yamaha cs80 keyboard for basslines. one day, i’d love to do stuff like that. five splendas.
