Zoot Woman

It's : a Band
Genre : Electronic/ Electroclash/ Synthpop
Hometown : London, UK
Formed in : 1996

Members : 

• Adam Blake (Drums, Keyboard)
• Johnny Blake (Lead Vocals, Guitar)
• Stuart Price (Vocals, Programming)
• Jasmin O'Meara (Bass, Vocals, Synthesizer)

Catching Point : Also done so many remixes and for several artist and producers such as Madonna & Pete Tong under the alias Paper Faces, Blake & Price make Zoot Woman one of a forerunner in the electroclash. Today many rappers have decided to put their musics as backing sounds in their albums. Anyway, they have crisp and airy vocals, buttery smooth electro beats and really inspiring synth melodies.

Where The Wild Things Are [OST]

It's : a Soundtrack
Genre : Alternative
When : 2009 
Who : Karen O & The Kids

Catching Point : "Where The Wild Things Are" is a movie based on a famous classic children story by Maurice Sendak. It was about an imaginary world made f loneliness. A world Max created and which his about to conquer. The journey to find where love truly is. So there was anger and sadness. also lots of fun join together. Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs put up all the sound to make this soundtrack such a crunchy one. With the chanted and heavy song "Capsize" consisting of ritual clapping a howled vocals. And the slow, somewhat depressing track "Hideaway", Swapping back to the upbeat songs the soundtrack jumps too "Heads Up", a song just as happy and joyous as "All Is Love", or its reprise "Building All Is Love". This soundtrack, nearly a standalone album, is definitely a rollercoaster of emotion and excellent sounds. Get this one out and flow with Max's journey..

(500) Days of Summer [OST]

It's : a Soundtrack 
Genre : Various
When : 2009

Who : Michael Danna & Rob Simonsen; Regina Spektor; The Smiths; Black Lips; Doves; Hall & Oates; The Temper Trap; Carla Bruni; Feist; Simon & Garfunkel; Wolfmother; Mumm-Ra; Meaghan Smith; She & Him

 

Catching Point : The Movie is more like a pseudo "love stories" that aren't really love stories at all. And the music nicely represent the atmosfer. There are so many good musics in this album. Most of them swim in indiepop area, but some raise an alternative. Almost each of 'em are unique and hold a visceral emotions. Finding middle ground between uber-indie pretension and sing-a-long pop epiphanies the soundtrack has a little bit here for everyone and never drowns in its own self importance. The movie itself carries some music that are not included in the album such as The Pixies - Here Comes Your Man (sang by Thomas in the karaoke bar scene). But overall it's a must have album for you who is fallin to indie, whether you watch the movie or not :)
