New Music: Electric Wire Hustle – Chaser (and Scratch 22 remix)

I featured these guys on the old blog. Electronic and soulful at the same time. Y’all dig? I definitely do! Check the plug on the track from the this New Zealand group themselves:

“I recorded the verse in three differing styles for this tune before finally getting something that worked. It’s easy for that heavily layered counterpoint vocal style to sound a bit like a musical pinball machine; things popping out at you all over the show – theme park house of horrors style. I think the result is a bit more chilled than that thankfully. Benji B selected it for his top 10 tracks of 2009 which was an honor for us.”

The one thing I hate sometimes about doing these indie posts is the ‘edgy’ imagery they like to trawl in. Seriously, WTF is up with the single artwork on this one (not above, hit the jump to see it – I just couldn’t post it as the lead art). Maybe I’m just getting old ‘cos I was way more open when I was younger. There are acts that I might dismiss now based just on their image that I used to dig in my high school and younger days but that being said, I do still appreciate groups like the Scissor Sisters and I am posting this anyway, so maybe not….
