I’m not quite sure how I missed this. Carosel have yet again come up trumps, this time it’s a cover of Depeche Mode’s Enjoy The Silence.
I love the sparseness of the track and Michelle Phelan’s haunting vocals seem to make the lyrics even more poignant.
The Paris based duo are busy working on their second album at the moment. Can’t wait to hear it!

One of my favourite artists over the past few years has been Christophe Willem.. and this evening a nice little email landing in my inbox telling me about his new single Cool and his new album ‘Prismophonic’ is out in France on November 21st. Yay for amazon.fr
How could you not like this guy when he cites influences as ‘Robyn, Kanye West, Madonna’ and has already collabrated with Kylie Minogue on ‘Sensitized’.
Ah, yes an upbeat punky track with a nod at the recession, who cares if we’re all broke..
This track is taken from their new album ‘Money and Celebrity’. Could this track becoming the same kind of recessionary anthem Aloe Blacc’s ‘Need a Dollar’ has become?
This week’s Tune of The Week is The Subways and ‘We Don’t Need Money To Have A Good Time’.
Spirit of Folk festival takes place in Dunderry Co. Meath on the weekend of 23/24/25 September. You can listen to an interview I did on Culture Cafe on RTE 2XM here. The interview with Caroline Duke, one of the organizers of Spirit of Folk starts 22 mins 15 secs in.
The weekend sounds like it’s going to be great, with music and little quirky things happening, I love the sound of cycle jousting! Would love to try it out.
You can have a look at the schedule and map below or you can download them here. (more…)
