Van She: EP
 Van She - EP from Australia's Modular Records comes a band that reminds me so nicely of the wave of late eighties, early nineties alternative from the UK, Sweden, and - well - Australia. they have a lovely mix of influences up through the decades, picking and choosing the best pop favorites (and i don't mean the Spears or Backstreet definition). so you're looking at the best of the Cars and The Fixx - but it goes deeper than that. i hear post punk influences, that early 70's Krautrock, and especially goth rock; there's even a little synth-pop grunge (it's possible: listen to the beginning of Mission and even Sex City). i'm such a sucker for this stuff. ::::have a listen: Van She - Kelly (mp3) and a friggin cool video, to boot. also, i beg you to check their myspace where you can listen to the other two songs on the album that i really like. i think they better showcase the band's style and the influences that i listed. shan 10:17 AM | view comments (0)
