| VoxtrotTrepanation Party (2009) [Single] |
Un ejercicio virtuoso de pop ochentero, al filo de la navaja emocional. Afectado, sin duda, pero certero, implacable, a flor de piel. Sintetizadores y melodías épicas. Un grupo que crece en personalidad y calidad.

| VoxtrotBerlin Without Return... (2009) [Single] |
Impresionante. Una de esas canciones capaz de poner la piel de gallina. Sensibilidad, genialidad, instinto pop, y un extremado gusto e inteligencia a la hora de armar la letra (impresionante cuando dice lo de "When I see you naked, I see more than the flesh./Do you see the same thing?). Definitivamente un paso de gigante para este grupo de orfebres pop.
No puedo dejar de reproducir el texto:
Do you spend your whole life trying to get back home?
Where do you go?
Kean old eyes unfold you in a coat of chrome,
And feelings show.
Oh what do you know, baby
What do you know?
What do you know about where I come from?
What do you know?
Tell me, what do you know?
About who I am?
When I see you naked, I see more than the flesh.
Do you see the same thing?
Entertainment value,
No, I couldn't care less.
The feeling's high.
And you were so young, baby.
You were so young.
Dragging your feet in the face of creation.
I was so young,
Yeah, we were so young.
And still there was you, the center of me.
Oh, and still there was you, the center of me.
I don't know you, baby.
You don't know me.
We are just victims of the same situation.
Baby's big war,
Tell what you die for.
We were just born to lose this life.
Could we please get married?
Do this just for us.
The way we would do.
It doesn't make much sense, but maybe nothing does.
It never will.
And these gears years keep turning,
These lives keep burning,
And the love keeps changing around you.
Stuck in one place,
Painting your face
The color of milk,
The color of sky,
The colors of you,
The colors don't lie.
And I don't know you, baby.
You don't know me.
We are just victims of the same situation.
Baby's big war,
Tell what you die for.
Urges grow cold, but the feeling stays.
And what do you know?
Tell me, what do you know?
You don't know me,
Don't you question my love.
And what do you know?
Tell me, what do you know?
You don't know me,
Don't you question my love.

The StreetsHe's Behind You, He's Got Swine Flu (2009) [Single] |
En plena psicosis de la gripe porcina, The Streets se marca single sarcástico y clip genial con footage de filmes del género zombie, riéndose del miedo y la histeria. Luego lo filtra via Twitter a espaldas de la discográfica. Puñetazo en la mesa del rapero, y lección de humor e inteligencia.
The Takeover UK
Running With the Wasters (2009)
Son americanos, pero ese UK del nombre dice mucho. Pop vigoroso, guitarras, rabia, melodías, pose y mucha mucha calidad. Energía, distorsión, una mezcla bastarda de Libertines, Supergrass, y un trailer fuera de control. Es Rock and Roll y distorsión y me gusta. En directo parece que toquen las guitarras con serrucho.

La canción de Voxtrot (Berlin...) es realmente muy buena.
Vaya sorpresa encontrar a los Takeover UK en tu lista. Para mi fueron de lo mejor del año pasado.
Por cierto, coincido plenamente en tu comentario sobre el disco y el single de Doherty.
Saludos !
