The Dog To Your Bone. Or Something.

Continuing to deliver music every bit as intriguing as his name, producer and singer Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs has just unveiled the video for his latest track, 'Household Goods'.

I think I actually prefer the track to Garden, which has been a fixture on my playlists the past few months.

At one point sampling a Scottish gaelic choir, 'Household Goods' positively wreaks of 2011 and comes accompanied by a suitably bizarre video.

I've also been enjoying this schizophrenic 'minimix' he made for the woman with the career of my dreams, Ms Annie Mac.

Exorcising My Demons

Ok, here we go. I've invested a vast sum of money (about 9 euro) in obtaining the sphericalnotions.com domain name and I'm determined to resuscitate my poor neglected plot of cyber-real estate.

A band whose debut album I've been meaning to rave about the past few months is Fenech Soler, who I first encountered via their remix of Marina and the Diamonds' 'Hollywood' this time last year.

Occupying a point on the musical spectrum somewhere between Klaxons and Friendly Fires, the band's eponymous debut is laden with glittering electropop gems, doused in shimmering synths and spluttering drumbeats.

Opening track Battlefields begins with choral-like vocals before breaking into a frenetic dance-beat tailor-made to set toes tapping. Anthemic ode to self-doubt Demons sounds like the most likely candidate to grant Fenech Soler chart success, while contemplative piano-led track Stone Bridge offers a rare reprieve from the frantic pace upheld for most of the album.



The band's trump card is undoubtedly frontman Ben Duffy's powerful vocals, which is especially impressive in the upper register and sets the band apart from the slew of keyboard-toting electropop acts currently clambering for our attention. In truth though, it's hard to fault any aspect of this package and Fenech Soler is one of the most impressive debuts of the year.
