[mp3] Keep Shelley In Athens: "Hauntin Me" New Tune! [mp3] Wavves: "Horse Shoes"
Solar Bears' pastoral synth melody "Cub" off last year's She Was Coloured In LP gets the remix treatment from elusive mysterions Keep Shelly in Athens . Of the 15 tracks that comprise the album, it's an interesting choice; "Cub" is amongst the shortest and most structurally simple tracks. Listened to on it's own, "Cub" sounds like credit music clipped from a film, faraway and at peace, with a sense of finality. Keep Shelley in Athens wind the track into a dizzy backspin of dreamy dance beats and atmospheric vocal echoes, [...]
