Crystal Castles, YOU LOVE HER COZ SHE'S DEAD


Everybody knows Crystal Castles already.
Courtship Dating
Knights
Crimewave
Klaxons - Antlantis to Interzone (Crystal Castles Remix)
BTW, there is this chiptune duo YOU LOVE HER COZ SHE'S DEAD which to most people sounds like Crystal Castles, but hate being compared to CC. So I am intentionally mentioning them together.
YOU LOVE HER COZ SHE'S DEAD - DEAD END

So they're more chiptune based plus a not as screamy girl vocal.
Many don't undertstand why it's CC that's getting all the hype but not the others. The point is exactly because CC is not as chiptuney as them.

Simian Mobile Disco.
Hrmmm, so they were Simian, which had a song that is mixed by Justice.

Erlend Oye, Kings of Convenience


This is not about the typical acoustic Kings-of-Convenience-ish Erlend Oye, but more the downtempo electronic side.
Sudden Rush
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M6Ym6yMY0c (also, the remix by the twelves)

Phonique - For The Time Being ft. Erlend Oye (and another track with Phonique, Fine Day)
And of course all his collaborations with Royksopp, like Poor Leno.

As for Kings of Convenience,
Little Kids (Ladytron remix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz9FfPXA_5o Very ladytron-ish synth flood.
Gold for the Price of Silver (Erot Collaboration)
No youtube links.

The Whitest Boy Alive is way out. :\

Empire of the Sun

Empire of the Sun consists of two weird guys with weird clothes doing weird pose in weird videos. But that doesn't mean you should think about MGMT, okay? Stop mentioning MGMT, people.

Their coming second single We Are the People is way better than their hyped first single Walking on a Dream.

Though it has an acoustic intro, it's actually full of synth, so don't get scared off. What's so great is that dejected feeling of Luke Steele and the falsetto chorus.

We Are the People

Empire Of The Sun - We Are The People (Ted & Francis remix), a mix that is more downtempo and mellow.
