Midsummer '14 Day 15 and 15: Vas - The Reaper and the Flowers and Angel City - Stay

The 15th was a very busy day for me. The 16th will also be busy. Hopefully you don't mind me merging the posts for simplicity.

DAY FIFTEEN: VAS - THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS

Vas is one of Azam Ali's many little projects, though my favorite continues to be Niyaz. Vas is with Greg Ellis of Juno Reactor, and is heavy on the haunting side of things. It is often compared to Dead Can Dance.

DAY SIXTEEN: ANGEL CITY - STAY

Angel City is a pair of DJs and frontwoman Lara McAllen. The electronic backing tunes are pretty great, though the lyrics are a bit saccharine at times. Most of what they do is covers of other dance songs.
It should be noted that Australian band The Angels is called Angel City in the US. This isn't them. Those guys, while influential, are definitely not my style.

End Recording,
Ego.
