Beat School Lesson

Alright, duckies. Here I come, again, with some new music that I have discovered for myself. Each one of them have this "somethin'" that caught my eye.
The rythm, the style, the lyrics, the vocals, etc.
Beautiful.

First we present to you all somethin' rythmlicious French boy called Yuksek.





Yuksek, originally with Birdy Nam Nam's label, has recently crafted some of the dirtiest, most inspired remixes of hits by Mika ((I wander where that awsome dude is nao O.o)) and some others. He uses vintage keyboards and FX board, giving concerts in clubs and festivals all over the world. As a fan of the pop music, he rose up on The Beatles and Gainsbourg, also my all time favourite, Nirvana, stunned him with the "Smells Like Teen Spirit", which eventually lead him to Lou Reed's "Transformer".

An Indie Band that acutally has decent vibe.
Here we come with the White Lies.





Their sound reminds me of the old 80's Goth Rock bands' soft and breath takeing impulse.
White Lies has been formed from the corpse of Fear of Flying, which is another proof that Indie bands have enourmously fascinating and amusing names over all. FoF is actually very energising and strange, but they lack this something. This something to cage me with their music. Alright, back to the White Lies.
The little numb colorful flies are: singer/guitarist Harry McVeigh, bassist/lyricist Charles Cave and drummer Jack Brown. See, here we go. They have been together since 2007, and are still on the constant work with the beat, though their debut album pushed itself out from the womb of Brussels, from the eye and ear of Max Dingel and Ed Buller.

Pandora's Box gives you more info, if you be a good kid and smother some bloodcookies with your anatomical existence:

Our next quest will be La Roux, who offers the two sided, chocolate chips with sharp coconut cover electropop.
Tastes like pop-dada.




La Roux are an English electropop “synth duo” band made up of singer and synth player Elly Jackson and co-writer and co-producer Ben Langmaid from London, England. The name “La Roux” is reported to be chosen like this: Jackson found a book of baby names in a bin and in the book was the name “La Roux”. ‘La Roux’ comes from the French for ‘red-haired one’ (‘le roux (masculine) or la rousse (feminine)’) referring to Jackson’s distinctive hairstyle.
