Faunts. They just released a new EP a few days ago and I'm in love once again.
This is one of their best from their new EP:
One of my, if not my, favourite songs ever. They make some seriously hauntingly beautiful music. And 'I Think I'll Start A Fire' (the 2nd song) has a Phil Collins-esque drums section, they're just awesome all round.

Maybe, you could tell us a little about what the music you have chosen to link (especially as you appear to have linked with the wrong link earlier). A little information would be nice, and would let us know whether to investigate or pursue the matter further.....Personally, I make it a habit never to click on unknown links.....
Ah, I love Yann Tiersen - and Rue des Cascades is a lovely piece.
I saw him play live several years ago, and, while I love his music, that night, he was in a sulky, uncommunicative mood, head down, hair hanging over his face, and chose to play music with a dreadful discordant emphasis on a heavy metal ancestry.
As it happened, I had brought along my elderly mother - and her best friend to the concert - as a treat. My mother had really loved Amalié. Afterwards, she said, (slightly unconvincingly, I thought), that she had really liked it. For myself, I could cheerfully have strangled him; I assumed that most of his audience expected to hear music with some sort of vague resemblance to his Amalié soundtrack. At least, that is what I had expected to hear......
Well, First please allow me to apologize for posting the wrong link, the must have never happened before. Next time just to please you, I will write a full detailed essay on what I am listening to. I will go back and and edit the post again to give the name of the band and song. But can you find it in your heart to forgive me again for posting a wrong link when it first posted.
Just got back from seeing Perfume live. They were awesome - best concert I've been to.
Electroworld is always a stand out track!

I actually just saw him in Seattle a few months ago, it was a good show. I also noticed the confused looks from those who were expecting a rendition of Amelie on stage. Very different experience I am sure if you don't come in prepared to here some of less-Amelie like tracks.
Sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience, I suppose like a record, you play what/how you feel in the moment. Sounds like he was sad pants that evening.
Ah, well, I simply put it down to experience. Clearly, he had an off (and moody) night. However, given the high price of concert tickets, and, given that most audience members will only see a particular performing artist on one, or at most, a handful of occasions, playing live, I do think that it behoves the creative artist in question to tone down the navel gazing, self-indulgence and show some respect for the paying public who have flocked to see them. For most of the public, it ranks as a special treat and a night out. Spoiling this with a bout of the sulks, strikes me as, yes, self-indulgent. Instead, I'd suggest that the artists in question save the self-indulgence for the next musical experiment, or cutting edge album. I'm not sure that a paying audience needs to the treated to a vision of same.
In fact, it seems to me that concerts are an area where we, as Europeans, would do well to take a leaf out of the book from the exemplary conduct of some of our transatlantic cousins onstage. In recent years, I have attended concerts by Mavis Staples, Pink Martini, and Marcus Miller - all were exceedingly gracious, welcoming, consummately professional and gave serious value for money, and, as if that were not enough, they made time afterwards to meet and greet, and sign autographs.
Ah, yes, but the album of the soundtrack of the movie Amalié is excellent, as is much of his earlier work (such as the albums, 'Rue des cascades", and "La Valse des Monstres".)
Read an interesting interview with Scott Walker yesterday; must take a listen to some of his material later tonight. In it, Walker (who has just released a new album, highly rated apparently, but regarded as somewhat 'difficult'), sadly lamented that people - as in the general public - seem to prefer his early melodic material (sung in that amazing baritone of his) from the 60s, to his more recent 'experimental' (and discordant) material. Personally, I love his 60s stuff, too......
That's directed towards me, no? Because I've never heard of him.
Did wiki him, still no clue. What's he playing like?George Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue
