Look: I'm not a DJ, I just play one on the internet. Mostly I like loud, punk-ish rock or Americana-ish crooning or straight-up dance pop. To me, there's a thin line between the kind of electronic music that is sort of floaty, trance-y, elusively meaningful sonic expression and, well, the kind that I just don't know enough about to properly appreciate, apparently. (There are a lot of super smart DJs on staff at Current who are probably stabbing themselves with nearest pen right now. Um, sorry, guys?)
But when I find something with slick beats and a soothing, melodic thru-line, I love it. I just want to crawl into a blanket of its noise and roll around in it. And I'm really into this Canadian singer called Lights right now for exactly that reason. Her debut album just came out in the US, and I like the whole thing a lot, especially "February Air." She sounds a little like Imogen Heap, a little like Metric, and she's been the soothing yet energetic background to a lot of the work I've done in the past couple weeks.
She's also pretty adorable. Check out her video for "Saviour" above, and a clip of her geeking out about World of Warcraft. No, really. I like a girl who knows how to make hew own fun in addition to her own music.
