First track from Crows and Doves disc. Heavy synth bass make your ovaries jiggle through the woofers, mo-town groove beat, countered by sweet, lilting femme vocals in a reverb heavy atmospheric mix - goth meets WBLS...This is on Bowie's make out mix in heaven. "Fluffy NIN raised on Soul Train" as per listener description.

Right Now

Hypnotic acoustic guitar chimes slowly builds with pounding cavernous pow wow drums. Haunting femme vox, screaming guitar trails in a sea of reverb.  Siouxsie hooks up with Kate Bush and devours Bat For Lashes while stomping on an Adele track.  Could have been heard on the Twilight soundtracks....

Rain Down

Melodic, Infectious dance beat, afro drums

Push Mo Groove - Instrumental

Dancehall pop tune featured on BBC London via "BBC Introducing"

Crows & Doves

Beautiful Things

Addictive chorus of ooohs and femme vox, pop motown reverb drums, over stand up bass leads to a post punk beatnick lounge toe tapper. Oooooh along hopelessly....

The Owl Song

Explosive siren call chorus beckons angels to fight the good fight at the gates of hell in the climax of the movie rescue scene. Layer this over a cheerleader rhythm stomp and add in uplifting synth and heavenly pads. Selected for play by Simon Raymonde/Bella Union for play on his Amazing Radio Show. Played repetitively in a Japanese University classroom for discussion...you can't make this up....

Fuzz Mother

I Can't Save the World

Favorited at WRSU, post punk shoegaze love song with forlorn sweet femme vox countered by screaming guitar chrunchies and looped piano over reverbed out motown drums.

Roses So Red

Stand up bass, come-hither vox, hypnotic beat, transe bells...should be on your make out mix. On rabbit velvet's "fuzz mother" cd

Krishna & Radha

Beatnik Latin Jazz Goth cover of Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus. Rhythmic conga, stand up bass, and a lilting femme vox conjure scenery from a goth beatnik lounge...

Latin Variation on a Theme by Bauhaus

"Auraphonic" electro rock...some guitar janglies, hypnotic synth, with mo-town oriented drums, and femme voice...Seems to be the favorite on debut, "Crows and Doves", which has kindly been included in a few "Best of" lists for 2010
