Game of Thrones approved electro poppers GO for the jugular
Game of Thrones approved electro poppers GO for the jugular
You could spot Ms Mr’s influences from outer space. There’s a glimmer of Lana Del Rey, lots of Florence and The Machine and a dollop of Swedish electro weirdos The Knife. Indeed, their debut would be rather staid – other peoples’ ideas in shiny new wrapping – were the songs not so gorgeous.
Singer Lizzy Plapinger has a crisp, tough enunciation, the perfect foil for composer Max Hershenow’s bare-boned electro dirges. You may already be familiar with the roiling ‘Bones’, which was used to soundtrack the season three promos for Game Of Thrones – but it is eclipsed by the swoonful ‘Hurricane’, a beautiful slice of high-tempo chill-wave, outfitted with an knee-trembling groove. Stand back: they could be huge.
