Pinemarten - I Can See

We’ve been getting email about Pinemarten for a while and not getting around to clicking on the links. The fact that it was presumed to be mumbly campfire folk music tells you we didn’t get to reading the press release either. But lo and behold, turns out it’s not folk, but rather down-tempo, pulsing electronic pop – when the plaintive vocals kick in, it sounds every bit like a contemporary update for the pristine Anglo-pop of The Pet Shop Boys.

And as a little bonus, here’s a youthful indie-pop love song from Young & Lost signings Being There, on which the singer sounds like he has a mouth full of Haribo worms throughout.
