Fresh 04

At last I'm posting some new stuff in the Fresh series! For the first round, here are a handful of tracks, taken from emails sent to me with new tunes as well as free downloads from Insound's cool MP3 of the week feature (check those out here). Two tracks are taken from a sampler from Apteka, both of which are strongly reminiscent of earlier Smashing Pumpkins songs in the best possible way. The next is a recent single by Eugene Francis Jnr, an indie rock track that wouldn't sound out of place on The O.C. or other musically-informed modern shows. The Fashion's "Solo Impala (Take The Money And Run)" is a sleek blend of musical styles worth checking out for fans of Chromatics or The Teenagers (also featured with their hot single "Starlett Johansson").
