Step Right On The Beat

Love Is All “Felt Tip” – The lyrics are strange and obscure, but even in spite of that, this is certainly one of the most romantic songs that I’ve ever posted on this site. It’s like one moment of intimacy stretched out over a pretty feedback drone (think “With Or Without You” without the bombast, and with Kate Bush on vocals), with a lovely, hopeful bass figure on the outro.

Lismore “Pour Un Ancien Ami” – This sounds like female-fronted early 90s Euro-indie rock (let’s say Sleeper or Lush, for example) encased in a block of ice. Either that, or the song equivalent of this drawing that my man John Cei Douglas drew the other day. Chilly but sweet, like music sorbet. (Click here to buy it from Tonevendor.)
