Drew Danburry - "Jennifer Connelly, or Fools Mock but they Shall Mourn". A song that's part-beach, part-jungle, sunny and shaded, bleached and verdant, with toucans and shipwrecks, flotsam and beetles, a moony sweetheart strolling at the borderline, shooting a yo-yo, wistful, resigned, checking his phone for messages, changing the ringtone so instead of a laser beep it'll just creak, a weathered groan, like an old house.

Isaac Delusion - "Transistors". A song with slides in suitcases, little slides. Click open the suitcase latches and slide the slide to wherever, Marseilles or the Bahamas, heartbreak or the dancefloor. Isaac Delusion is a little like Antony with Hot Chip. Less inventive, maybe, but more directly nice. A finger to your chest, turning your heart bright blue.
