Monty’s Loco - Heavy
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 6 or above) is required to play this audio clip. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Causing a ruckus all the way from Stockholm, Sweden, it’s hard to believe Monty’s Loco is made up of only two members. The sometimes squeaky, often husky vocals are provided by Anja, while Marie handles the instruments all on her own. Together they create an eccentric mash of moody rock, post-angst and girlish pop. Their second album, Farewell Mr Happy, is a bit like a fairy tale in musical form. You get a sneaking feeling they are trying to teach you something, but you’re going to go along for the ride anyway.

The Raveonettes - ‘You Want The Candy’
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 6 or above) is required to play this audio clip. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
With a vague hint of 90s era Shirly Manson vocals, The Raveonettes walk a fine and sultry line between dark and moody, wispy and ethereal. True to their Danish roots, they are one minute soft and sweet, brutally harsh the next; all raspy vocals and machinery noise. Kind of hot, if you like that sort of thing. Try not to despair if you missed their recent Sydney appearance, you can still get in on the action via their recent LP release, Lust Lust Lust.

Scarlett’s take on Tom Wait’s Falling Down. I’m not a big Waits fan so I have no idea if this is a good or bad cover. But I can watch any video with Scarlett in it so here:
