i keep a sticky note on my computer that has a list of songs and artists to check out. today, i revisited wave machines, and i'm really happy that i did. they've been around for a couple of years and i'm just hearing about them - come on now! they're following suit with a lot of music coming from europe right now, some of my favorite sounding stuff: smooth, funk style bass, and falsetto with an electronic feel. and that's just this single, not all of their music sounds the same. it's not all "smooth electro," they've also got a rock and an indie background. sometimes, i hear a little david bowie in there - check out the chorus for "punk spirit."
this single is a throw back to the 70s and disco, but it's also looking into the future. wave machines are for sure going to be around for a while. definitely check out some more tracks on their myspace and if you are REAL into it, make sure you buy some of their music on itunes.
i also put up their music video because the choreography is really inventive, the narrative of it is a little bizarre, and overall, it's just really good looking. i think that music videos are often half the battle for a lot of musicians, and this is a definite victory.
