Dark Pop from Alex Cameron

alexThis tune from Alex Cameron came out of left-field.  It’s this little bit of electronic pop, but there’s a resemblance to pop forefathers like David Byrne and David Bowie, especially when you get to that computer-distorted guitar line.  This is the sort of thing where you’re listening, then you press repeat to make sure it’s as remarkable as you thought. If you listen to the change in vocal after the 3 minute mark, then hopefully, like me, you’ll agree that Alex is someone that we need to keep an eye on.  His debut solo record, Jumping the Shark,  will make its way into the public’s hand this weekend.

Heavy Tune from Constant Mongrel

constantI feel like I’ve been taking it easy on you this week, giving you mostly soft hits to soothe the soul.  But, I wanted to wrap up Friday with a heavy-hand, giving you some post punk from Melbourne’s Constant Mongrel.  Originally the group was set up as a duo, but have expanded to accommodate their live set…and possibly their recorded material.  This tune comes from the group’s Heavy Breathing LP, which is being released by RIP Society, who I consider a reliable choice for the darker side of my musical collection. When the discordant noise starts ringing at the end of this track, I consider it a hit; hope you feel the same.
