The latest Psapp record Tiger, My Friend is pristine electronic pop that ranks right up there with The Postal Service’s Give up and The Notwist’s Neon Golden as tops within the genre. It also occurred to me that I’ve been listening to quite a bit of this stuff lately. You know, poppy electronica that’s been peppered with glitchy blips and looped acoustic guitars, music box sounds, whirrs, bouncy beats, and great melodies. Psapp (however) stands out a bit because of Galia Durant’s lovely soothing breathy vocals. I swear she oftentimes sounds just like Laetitia Sadier from Stereolab (which is a very good thing). They also stand out because where other artists might overindulge, Psapp aims for a quieter more restrained space. Listening to this makes me want to feel the warm glow of a fireplace as I look out over a snow-covered mountain village. Tiger, My Friend is out now on Leaf.
