Feng Suave Share Show Me

Now that we’ve looked at last week’s tunes, I wanted to start off with this real slowly unfolding pop ballad from Dutch outfit, Feng Suave. The opening minute is almost like a lounge singer, crooning to his audience, slow and charming. But, just after the 1 minute mark, you get this nuanced build, texturing the song with these nice little string arrangements and tickling piano notes. Just don’t think they’re settling there, as the group continues to let the song build and swell, all the while holding tight to the track’s early charms. If you dig it, be sure to give a listen to their So Much for Gardening EP.

Flo Morrissey Puts The Drama in Folk

No? Well, the perfect solution to that issue is to press play on the track below and get lost in the four minutes and fifteen minutes of reserved power. “Show Me,” comes across like a mix between Jessica Pratt and those Swedes First Aid Kit; clearly the vocals are the center point of the song, but at the same time you get the subtle nuances of piano tinkling away in the background to give the song its allure. If you like this track, get ready for her debut album coming out in July for those of us in the States, called Tomorrow Will Be Beautiful.
