Fresh 01: Spitzer

As hard as it may be to believe (for myself especially), this blog is actually getting a reasonable amount of visitors these days. As a result, I've started receiving sample tracks from new, unheard artists in my inbox (which I love, by the way, so feel free to send over your music anytime). Here is the first "Fresh" feature on one of those budding groups, Spitzer.

Spitzer are two French brothers from Lyon who got their start in the indie rock scene, without much attachment to the flourishing electronic music community around them. After seven years of this, they were, in their own words, "utterly seduced by the synthetic environment and the animal beats of techno," and decided to ditch their traditional instruments in favor of electronic sounds. Already building buzz within the Lyon electronic music scene and in the blogosphere, their dark, ambient sound is quickly gaining attention outside of their hometown. They are currently finalizing their first EP release, Roller Coaster, while branching out into production and remix work (including a top-secret commission for none other than pop princess Kylie Minogue). If you live Down Under, be sure to look for them starting in April as they begin a club tour of Australia. For more information, check out their myspace page and have a listen below to one of their forthcoming tracks, "Yacht Club" (my personal pick).
