Time for another glimpse into my current musical obsessions:
- “Chariot” by Page France — I first heard this song during an episode of Weeds and remained stuck in my head afterwards. It has a playful indie vibe that doesn’t fall into the trap of taking itself too seriously.
- “Cherry Tulips” by Headlights — This gorgeous song hearkens back to an era of jukeboxes and AM radio, when kids still used the phrase “making out” without any hint of irony.
- “Standing Next to Me” by The Last Shadow Puppets — Another song dressed up in retro clothing, this time in the mod stylings of early Sixties British pop. It makes me think of miniskirts and knee-high boots. Can you tell I’m a very lonely man?
- “Anywhere” by The Presets — This propulsive, melancholy bit of electronica is too moody for the dancefloor, but it’s just the thing for chilling out late at night.
The Presets are or will be on tour with Cut Copy. You might like them too.
