Man…lol…I’m starting to feel like a bit of a Modular groupie - but for real, Ladyhawke’s“Paris is Burning” is already such a great track - add Cut Copy’s magic touch and it pretty much puts this jam at the top ranks of my summer playlist. The percussion is ridiculous and the grand build up to the chorus will have you cutting the rug/pumping your fist (whichever you’re more prone to) once it kicks.
Now we just gotta wait for this to release in North America, but in the meantime have a taste.
Back in March, I posted up the video on here for “Back of the Van”. Ladyhawke recently announced the video to Paris is Burning. Have a watch. Modular is easily my one of my favorite labels this year.
Here’s the official and just released video for Cut Copy’s “Hearts on Fire” from the In Ghost Colours album. The one some of ya’ll may have seen with the girl riding around on the bike and masked people was made for a Nokia contest I believe.
Note that I also tagged this video for the humor section - I got more than a few laughs from it.
The direction of the video was a real surprise considering the track is a real upbeat joint. Dan Whitford should consider doing some Aussie soap opera’s..he could be like the reverse-progress male version of Natalie Imbruglia.
I discovered Ladyhawke’s single back in December on BIGSTEREO. Paris is Burning and Back of the Van instantly went straight to my On-the-Go playlist. Above is the recently released music video to the 80’s inspired track. Back of the Van will be the first single to be released this month with a full scale album due out in June. Watch the Youtube clip, its what I call synth pop heat.
