Damn. This is sexy. And twisted. Very appropriate for the band that I have been referring to as the Israeli Electric Six . I am really digging the video but the downside is you miss out Izabo's freaky vibes. Watching video's of them getting weird is one thing. Seeing it live in person is another treataltogether. What I'm trying to say here is that I have seen them live and you haven't. Ha.(Thanks Kinetis !)But if you make it to Eurovision this year you can fix that as they are representing Israel!

In this edition: Art Imperial's "Cult of Love", streams from the interwebs, and VIDEOS! Art Imperial - "Cult of Love" Classic sounds fly off Cult of Love , the follow up release to Art Imperial 's notable Surf Suburban EP. Equal parts dream pop and surf rock, Imperial's latest album keeps it light and accessible, making it immensely enjoyable. While Cult of Love stays within the neo-surf genre, there are elements of Motown ("Jesus in the Morning"), indie [...]]]> text/html 2012-03-24T14:13:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4153250/video-premiere-i-like-it-by-izabo/

"Funky Israeli four-piece" Izabo make it a little difficult not to...well, like them on "I Like It", a preview from their forthcoming UK debut Life Is On My Side that near-instantly delights in its merging of the goofy and groovy. Led by the piercingly high-pitched falsetto of vocalist Ran Shem-Tov trying to win a babe over with a series of dorky, wanna-be mack lines that feel more likely to result in him snagging a restraining order rather than the girl's heart ("Your mustard is my gold/ Your poison is my wine", "Pull [...]]]> text/html 2012-03-23T18:02:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4152143/indie-izabo-i-like-it/
Funky Israeli four piece, Izabo have just dropped the video for I Like It, the first cut from their forthcoming debut album. Continuing where last years sunny single Summer Shade left off, I Like It is another slice of laid back, funk infused indie thats guaranteed to get your feet moving. I Like It is out on 7th May but in the meantime you can grab this free download of Summer Shade: Izabo - Summer Shade Download audio file (01 [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-26T16:37:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3958420/izabo/

Waves of sad news heralds the start of this week's Midweek Mixtape; Heavy D , of Heavy D and The Boys fame , has died at the age of only 44. Worse though, is the news that Donny-Osmond-for-the-new-mille nnium, Justin Bieber has decided to make one final record before his voice breaks - and that record - oh boy - is a trulyexecrablecluster of Christmas hits .

If you're like me, you're probably currently hating that summer's on its way out despite the fact that the weather is perfectly lovely this time of year. Uh, except for the past few days and all this week. Either way, there's something about listening to your go-to summer playlist after Labor Day weekend that is especially bittersweet. Izabo's "Summer Shade" is onesong I wish I'd found earlier in the season, but is by all means still a good track to listen to on your way home on a late summer afternoon in your car with the windows down.

Here's this week's Monday Music, the one post per-week where SOIWT drops its London-only focus: Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know (Feat. Kimbra ) Break-up songs are usually full of spice and spite, butthisone's allperky and pretty. Weirdly, though, thedainty keyboard hopsand the library-quiet vocals make Australian multi-instrumentalist Gotye's pain all the more stirring.

Israeli band Izabo are offering their latest EP as a free download if you friend them on Facebook . This 3-song EP is a scrumptious slice of quirky indie pop; Izabo excel at balmy, buoyant guitar pop songs, with prominent keyboards and kazoo-like background vocals. They favor the Starlight Mints quite a bit, in both their song structures and the vocal timbre of lead singer Ran Shem-Tov, but also incorporate elements of disco and Middle Eastern music.

After a week hiatus and a few technical glitches, Fresh Meat is back in business. For a while now, I have been wanting to dedicate an entire round-up to a few wonderful international artists. It's truly amazing how many talented submissions we receive from places near and far, and though I've featured international artists previously, I thought it would be fun to devote an entire playlist to these particular bands. Make sure to pay close attention to the various techniques, vocals, and instruments heard in all of the songs featured this week. Whenever I hear an artist [...]]]>
