Pairs

#1: Dreamy electro

Ignoring the slightly creepy video clip, this is a rather charming song.




although they can't compete with RÜFÜS (although I'm partial to umlauts).



#2: Absurdly catchy synth Choruses

This song by Twinsy (self-described Aussie 'D list supergroup') has been all over triple j like a rash recently, but if you prefer the convenience (& lack of mundane chatter) of online streaming, or just happen to not spend as much time as I do in the car travelling to debating venues on Friday evenings with nothing but jjj for sustenance, please avail yourself of this song.

Particularly enjoying the contrast between the zesty choral arrangement and the synth chorus. The synth part of which reminds me of...




 this utterly danceable track from Architecture in Helsinki.




#3: Errr... female voices?

My attempts to create some tenuous links between the songs breaks down shamefully here...

Firstly Gossling (she of 'Boys like You' fame with 360). I suppose you either love or hate her nasal, prepubescent voice, but this single has grown on me (and it's also available for free from the triple j website, which helps).



And... The original song was pretty incredible unto itself, but this cover is a perfectly acceptable trance-y  update (wouldn't recommend staring at the video pic for a long time though).
