Hvis man har overset Florence + The Machine det seneste stykke tid har man nok boet på en øde ø uden nogen form for kommunikation med omverdenen. De er blevet spillet overalt og er nok bedst kendt for “Dog Days Are Over” og deres coverversion af “You’ve Got The Love” (originalt indspillet af The Source feat. Candi Staton).

Florence Welch, som forsangerinden hedder, har været grundpillen i bandet og “The Machine” består af Robert Ackroyd, Christopher Lloyd Hayden, Isabella Summers og Tom Monger. Sammen har de lavet musik fra 2007, men først i juli i år udkom debutalbummet “Lungs” som helt klart er et lyt værd.

Man falder bestemt for Welch’s fortryllende stemme i en god blanding af indiepop og alternativ, blød rock med storladne momenter.

Nu har flere efterhånden haft haft i deres sange og her er et par af de bedste. Det er britiske The xx, The Lionheart, Jack Beats og skotske Optimo Espacio i et længere housemix!

Og så er der en lille update mht. Chromeo, jeg faldt over en groovy coverversion af Eagles “I Can’t Tell You Why”.

Hvis man ikke lige kender Chromeo kan man godt glæde sig!

De to herrer David Macklovitch og Patrick Gemayel slår deres folder i Montreal og kan snildt skrive Canadas mest succesrige electrofunk duo på deres CV. Stærkt inspireret af 80′ernes synth-pop og lækre rytmer skruer de helt op for guitarens funk-funktion. Siden 2002 har vi kunne svinge lårbassen til deres inspirerende rytmer fra tracks som “Fancy Footwork”, “Needy Girl”, “Tenderoni”, ” Bonafied Lovin’” og “Call Me Up”.

Deres nye single hedder “Night By Night” og der er ingen tvivl om at den kommer direkte fra hjertet af fede beats og svedig guitar, med en lækker tekst som kun Chromeo kan gøre det.

Jeg kan lige så godt sige det: Chromeo har lavet alt for mange fede tracks til at kunne retfærdiggøre dem her, men i får lige et lille udvalg af personlige favoritter og så naturligvis deres nyeste.
