Motley Tunes #2

Motley Tunes is a weekly segment featuring an assortment of 2-4 songs I find worth sharing. 

1. The City by The 1975


(lyrics) This electro-dance group puts the synth-driven beats of the 80s in a more modern context. Ambitious (and hailing from Manchester) - they have big shoes to fill in. Expecting more from them soon! And oh, they're playing in Singapore next week (I'm giving them a skip, though).

2. Tap Out by The Strokes



(lyricsOn their 5th album Comedown Machine, The Strokes venture into softer, synth-driven territory without forgetting their garage-rock roots. Tap Out features a lovely beat, two gorgeous, contrasting melodies and their trademark chugging guitars (+ a solo, yay!).

"Decide my past, define my life, don't ask questions cuz I don't know why"

Two excellent synth-driven dance tracks for this week, ya!
