Hante. just released her debut album "This Fog That Never Ends" and it is pure gothy-cold wave-darkwave magic!

F.A.C.E. - Diamonds (feat Margaret Berger)

This completely flew under my radar last year!  An excellent single by F.A.C.E. featuring the lovely Margaret Berger!!  Does this mean her new album may finally see the light of the day??  Looks like Margaret (or should I simply call her Berger now) will be releasing a single this week!!

Geneva Jacuzzi - Cannibal Babies

At first, this sorta frightened me, but as it continued I started to feel it more and more until I was shaking and loving!  I have no clue what to expect from it, but Geneva Jacuzzi's new album "Technophelia" is out the first week of February on Medical Records!

David Bowie

It has been only a week since the devastating news hit of David Bowie's death and a day hasn't gone by that I haven't thought of him.  An incredible artist, creator and all-around magical being, Bowie seemed to touch a part in all of us.  We all experienced him differently, and we all found something unique and wonderful to love about him, his music, his art.  Thanks to a little nudging from RockyBoo, I am presenting some of my all-time favourite Bowie tracks, to honor a man I never knew, but always loved.

It is impossible for me to start with anything else for some reason.  Whenever I think of David Bowie, whenever I think of Labyrinth, I think of this song first.  I could watch this song/scene on loop for hours and never tire...



From another movie (one which I haven't fully seen), comes one of the greatest movie intros ever!!  Well, the movie didn't have the giant block lyrics blasting on screen, but maybe it should have!!



Old school David Bowie is fantastic and these are two of my faves!  Kudos to whoever created the WoW video for "The Laughing Gnome"...





"hours..." is one of my favorite Bowie albums.  This is one of my favorite Bowie songs...



Possibly the first Bowie song I ever heard, we'll just say it was and leave it at that...



Beautiful...



I will always love this song, my second fave from "hours..."



I find this a fitting finale for my post.  Gorgeous.



Thank you David Bowie.  I will love you forever.

School of Seven Bells - On My Heart

The end of February can't come soon enough!!  That's when we get the gift of the final School of Seven Bells album "SVIIB".  I cannot wait!!!

Eliot Sumner

I'm a bit behind on this artist, but that's ok...as long as we find them eventually!  Odd to think this is Sting's daughter, but cool nonetheless.  Eliot Sumner's 2nd album (she released her first under the name I Blame Coco) "Information" is coming out in a couple weeks and every song I've heard from it thus far is pretty great!

Charlie Hilton - Funny Anyway

Another beauty from Charlie Hilton's upcoming solo debut "Palana"...the album is out Jan 22!

Suede - Pale Snow

As we quickly approach the release of Suede's next album "Night Thoughts", I grow more and more excited...

Junior Boys - Over It

While the already released title track to their upcoming album is quite good, this newest sneak at Junior Boys' upcoming "Big Black Coat" is much more my speed!!  Getting excited for this now...crazy it's been 5 years!!  The album is out 2/5!!

Chairlift - Crying in Public

Each new song Chairlift shares from the upcoming "Moth" keeps better and better!!  The album is out Jan 22nd!!

Tindersticks - Were We Once Lovers?

Gorgeous new track from upcoming Tindersticks album "The Waiting Room" due in a couple weeks!

Marina and the Diamonds - True Colours

Beautiful little rendition of the classic ballad...

Florence Foster Jenkins

I woke up this morning to news that there is a Florence Foster Jenkins film coming out this year, starring none other than Meryl Streep herself!!  If you don't know anything about the great FFJ, you needn't go any further than this beautiful little video...her angelic voice alone will sell you on the NEED for this film!!

Battery Operated Orchestra - The Sea

Here's another great single from Battery Operated Orchestra!!  They can't stop producing awesome music!!  New year, new album??  YES!!  DO IT!!!

Purity Ring - heartsigh

Purity Ring's "another eternity" was another of my top albums from 2015 and their set at FYF was gorgeous!!  This latest video gives a bit of a peek at their live set-up.  If only they would have had those cool masked dancer people!!

Kisses - Control

I completely missed the release of Kisses latest album "Rest in Paradise" back in October, but that doesn't take away from the greatness of the album.  Easily in my top albums of 2015!  Here's a more recent video from the album...
