Star Horse are Andreas, Maja, Joel and Samuel, and together they're currently emitting electrifying, distortion-swept wonderment out of Stockholm. Everything else remains rather enigmatic at this moment in time, which is precisely how you get to feel it should be upon exposure to their eponymous EP as once it splashes up against you images and emotions flutter, appearing like hallucinatory swirls of crude oil swimming atop undeveloped 35mm. From the glimmering Slowdive-styled melancholy of opener Stranger right through to the haunting mellifluousness, droning vox and discordant guitars that ride high on a charge of dirge-like hum left to soak [...]
So, if you ignore an James Corden associated abominations, Tears For Fears' 'Shout' is one of the best songs ever written, not many covers do it justice (and some (see aforementioned abomination comment) are so shit they barely qualify as music), thankfully London SynthPop trio Strangers ' take on the track is stop on. I've heard the track with distorted industrial percussion before, but always with terrible industrial vocals, here Strangers get electronically experimental with the beats but keep the anthemic, melodic ,vocals (which aren't easy to sing, so kudos there!) intact. It's an awesome slice of [...]

Tears For Fears album Songs From The Big Chair isn't one of those recordings that you see regularly cropping up on those Greatest Albums Of All Time lists. In fact 'regularly' is probably an over sell. It doesn't really crop up on any of them, (although it did sneak into one of those 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die books). Reaching no.1 in the US charts and no.2 in the UK it was a multi-platinum selling record, so somebody somewhere must have liked it. We did. We even had the limited [...]
When I listen to a track I tend to give it as much time as possible, I like to feel the record and not just hear it. A lot of producers tend to skim through the track checking out the intro, the mid section and look out for the drop. For me, there must be tension, anxiety and excitement and after checking out the tunes on @scarcityrecords' latest release by Parallax Breakz from Ukraine, the 'Stranger' EP certainly has those traits. The track is supported with remixes and on this original version [...]

The man behind the keyboards of 10 for 2012 act runner-up Strangers , Piers Sherwood-Roberts , answers some of my questions on navigating the tricky waters of media lumping them in with Elton John, how opening for the Duke Spirit was a defining moment for them this year, and much more. Read on... Congratulations on finishing #2 (runner up) in our 10 of 2012 poll of bands to watch next year. Unfortunately, we don't have a trophy or anything to give you, but please know that [...]
I think this is our first X-Mas tune of the year! The last couple of years we've had a flood of new X-Mas ElectroPop but this year seems quieter. Well, here's Strangers to make sure little Timmy gets all the SynthPop he wants this holiday. Bringing their bombastic melancholy with them Strangers load their majestic ElectroPop with a heart-breaking tale of something so simple as missing someone at X-Mas and hoping things get better. Let face it, all the best X-Mas tunes are shot through with sadness, and these guys effort is up there with the [...]
Phoenix's composer "Lost Perception" is not a stranger here on WIB and is the man responsible for "BLACK MATERIA: Final Fantasy VII" album, if you havent highly recommend to cop a listen.. Well now Lost Perception dropped a beat tape and here's what was said: A**FREE DOWNLOAD**This is a collection of beats that I've made between 2004 - 2011. Some of these have been used and the songs never came out or I no longer have the sessions and some were just sitting around. I figured I'd put these out there so that they don't go to waste. If [...]
Strangers , as the band name suggests, want to be mysterious. Their sound? Clean, well developed dance anthems with a bit of a dark edge. And then there is another layer of intrigue. Some media have highlighted the fact that they have a New Romantic sound. Well, those are fightin' words to a loud and proud Duranie like me who associates a certain look and aesthetic to the original New Romantic movement in the early '80s in addition to the synth-heavy, hook-laden music that everyone wanted a piece of, thanks to the then-pioneering MTV. The [...]
Veteran Toronto emcees Dan-e-o and Promise are now tackling the world of music as a tandem. It's easy to say that Perfeck Strangers are an unlikely pair, but when listening to their music you would think they have been rhyming together for years. Both accomplished rappers in their own rights, their union presents a "perfeck" melding of talent in the vein of Hip Hop's most heralded duos, such as Black Star, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest and Little Brother. Dan-e-o and Promise have even been compared to legendary tag-teams like EPMD and Das EFX [...]
Strangers' music has been described as dark, gloomy, synth pop and able to conjure images of new romanticism. All of this is true. But, how have this London based three piece gotten this good in such a short space of time? Prior to EP3 , there was the release of (you guessed it), EP1 and EP2 featuring the addictive 'It Was A Sin'. On EP3 they've managed yet again, to produce tracks of such quality that they should just release their full length already. 'Promises' documents [...]

Words: Saam Das We never really got into The Departure , the Northampton band that made a brief splash in the indie world in the mid-noughties. Frontman David Maddox-Jones went on to form the short-lived NewIslands (who I wrote nice things about in March 2010) before founding to a new electro-pop project, [STRANGERS] . They're onto EP #3, which you can listen to below, including my highlight of the release, 'Promises'. [...]
We featured Strangers new EP a couple of weeks ago, now we can update with some visuals in the form of the new video for the EP's lead track, 'Promises'. It's just the kind of stylish I would expect from these guys. Another act we featured this month is Curxes , who add their industrial influenced moody ElectroPop flavour to the track in their reMix. ♫ Strangers (Feat. Lara Smiles) - Promises (Curxes reMix) [...]

Today we would like to invite you to a wedding. It's the musical marriage of stern synths, industrial clanks and smart 80's referencing pop sensibilities. Welcome to the marriage of [Strangers] and Curxes , two bands that have been courting on the blog with some regularity. Like a plug finding a socket and thousands of volts of dark electropop coursing through the wires of a robot body, this is an empowering remix where neither band overshadows the other. What we're particularly enjoying [...]
