Now that girlpants is back up and running we’re getting invited to all the good parties again. It’d be gauche to go into too much detail, but I will say that Ben and Joel visited la Tour Eiffel together and Niina shot somebody with a revolver.
And me? I’ve been ensconced in Lali Puna’s bangin forthcoming album Our Inventions.
Lali Puna — “Move On”
Not just anyone can sing “you’re just a small light, so useless under the sun, no will recognize your shine. Try.” In the wrong hands it’s like Thomas Kinkade territory. But rendered in that flatly Germanic, sexy robot voice of chanteuse Valerie Trebeljahr–I dunno, it seems earned somehow. By the chorus I find myself gazing out onto the horizon contemplatively, morning coffee commercial style, wondering what the day will bring. Warm, pulsating electronica and swelling major chords, apparently.

/ February 23, 2010I’m a bit mixed…I want to like this record, but I feel like despite being slow-burning–it just never really takes off? Curiously, I’m a big fan of “Out There.”

/ February 23, 2010I have to agree. Had three spins through it so far and it ain’t grabbing.
niina
/ February 24, 2010It was just a fleshwound.
