a pal of mine, colleen, posted this video to her facebook page the other day and i absolutely fell in love with it. i've watched it about six times now and i'm about to watch it again. there is a peter gabriel, annie lennox, and feist combo-quality about her. it's artistic and refreshingly different than this vapid and soulless "popular" music world i try to avoid as much as possible.
i've heard tell this single can be found on vinyl. i love that the generation behind mine is bringing back vinyl so deliberately. i've listened to several songs by her upon finding this video, and there is a techno/electronica vibe in her music which usually would horrify me to some extent. techno/electronica is a fickle concept. but it works for a song about being human, not a robot.
it's a rather lovely track and am looking forward to hearing more from her.
tell me what you think!
p.s. favourite lyric: "you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins."
