Via the medium of Jools Holland, here are an interesting new synth brigade from the industrial north, but they’ve made it onto all the 2010 tip-lists, so I hope they don’t disappear into obscurity.

Very Pet Shop Boys – not that you’d catch me complaining about that. I do like.
If synth if your thing, Mark, and you’re ever looking for new electro-awesome music, I’d point you towards another little-known British outfit: Faunts. Particular the M4 EP. Not sure if you ever game a game, but the title track played over the end credits of Mass Effect.
Thanks – I’m always on the look out the the new electro – or rather, “synths but now look we have guitars”.
I’ve just checked out Faunt’s on MySpace (if anyone remembers that), and they sound right up my strasse. A kind of slightly livelier Electric President.
My…Face?
Nope, no idea mate.
See, now I have to go listen to some Electric President.
Oh my. That’s very good. iTunes it is, I suppose. And here I thought you’d only be costing me another tenner this year, Mark.
Glad to be emptying wallets in the direction of good music. You should avoid The Notwist, too.
