White Lies
Every now and then, a song comes on the radio by a band or artist that you’ve never heard of, it stops you in your tracks, you’re captured by this sound, it has a hold on you and you just need to hear it again.
Death by White Lies sounds just brilliant.
The first track on their To Lose A Life album is something which is beautifully warm, soothing and will manage the crowd listening to it live, belt out any stress, worry or just simple negtivity that inhibits their lives. It is a true and theraputic record. The rest of the album isn’t too bad either you know.
There is a powerful essence of Morrissey except it doesn’t bore me to the point where I wish to take myself out to the nearest, sharp implement and introduce it to my jugula.
Fairwell To The Fairground is another lovely yet moody but still an upbeat number. After all of the festivals they attended last year, it’s a surprise to me if you’ve not yet heard of them.
The White Lies are a band I am looking forward to hearing again.
Vitalic
I have no reason for my admiration for French Electronica. Why do I seem to appreciate so much is beyond me. So to come across this particular Artist/DJ/Producer is almost overwhelming due to the divine beats, tweeks and bleeps this gentleman creates and unleashes through my speakers.
Vitalic from Dijon, France has recently-ish released Flashmob. To be honest, I’m struggling to put one track on here that can truly allow you to feel the masterful vibrations created. Poison Lips would be the best one really would as it reminds me so much of the original House music anthem by Donna Summer. Adorable record!
The tracks are at a comfortable dancing pace suited for all. The depth of the music is almost sordid at times with a naughty, sleazy twinge and along with the harmonious overtones that balance the music out shows intelligence as only the successful producers in my opinion can achieve. It’s all about balance I say. I would expect myself to be quite off balance after visiting a venue where he would be performing.
The tunes are sweetly delivered, progressing into what can become a frantic display of an unleashing rejuvenation.
It’s light, it’s hard, it’s sweet, it’s sleazy, naughty and just awesome.
This is a perfect example of why I love French Electronica.

Exit Calm
Quite possibly the shortest band review yet because for me, their music speaks for itself.
I envisage this band to be bigger than Kasabian and I would hope so too. I’m very much hooked into their sound after seeing them live as a support band. I ended up preferring them to the main band on the bill.
Just listen to the passionate, psychedelic warmth that wraps around you. Brilliant!
Exit Calm are definitely a band to investigate. I’d love to be one of those people that introduce to you, a new found love.
