Well not like it’s a series on this blog or anything but I just came across an awesome band on the old iPod. Dubstar, a British Indie dance (now that’s a genre I have never heard of before!) that was formed in 1992 and disbanded in 2000. I happened to have two albums, Disgraceful and Goodbye on my iPod and Not so manic now popped up one morning. Absolutely brilliant stuff, very dreamy and synthesizy, very early-mid nineties, all in all excellent stuff and I highly recommend them for a good chill session.
Because I’ve been up here for a while
I’m starting to feel the monotony of the tower block
I’m not so manic now
I can uphold the weight of those neighbours
And she’s lifting and throwing to the wall
The post-natal harmonies of youth
When this younger man, twenty-five
Advantageously took away her pride
Dubstar – Not so manic now
Heard of ‘em although I haven’t heard ‘em per se. If you like dreamy, synths, you should totally check out Sonic Youth. Not an unknown band by any means, but if you haven’t I am sure you’d like it. Their most recent effort, ‘Rather Ripped’ will be right up your alley.
