Eclectic & Electric

Switch up your conventional tunes with these electronic sounds.

Mornin' - Star Slinger
Born "Darren Williams", Star Slinger is a producer and DJ based in Manchester, UK.  Williams studied music technology at Leeds Metropolitan University.  Star Slinger was named in the UK's New Music Express Top 50 Bands of 2011.  Pitchfork writer, Nick Neyland, puts this song into words perfectly: "This is the sound of the morning after, where befuddled notions of time and place slowly creep back into focus as you stumble out of bed on jellied legs."

Before the Light Takes Us - Darkness Falls
Darkness Falls is a rock duo that formed in 2009, with Josephine Philip on vocals and keyboard and Ina Lindgreen on base and guitar.  Darkness Falls combines distorted twang guitars, haunting synths, gritty drums and striking vocals, creating a very unique sound.  I acquired this song as iTunes' freebie of the week back in December of 2011 and instantly loved how different it is.  It's dark-sounding, in a "it feels good to be bad" kind of way.
