David Byrne & Fatboy Slim

Surprisingly, I've found myself listening to more tracks from this record than nearly anything else released in 2010. Beyond its mad premise, Here Lies Love is the perfect vibe for summer.

Here Lies Love is a 22 song double-disc song cycle - improbably poignant, decidedly surreal, surprisingly thought provoking - about the rise and fall of the Philippines' notorious Imelda Marcos. It was conceived by David Byrne; composed by Byrne and British deejay/recording artist Fatboy Slim, a/k/a Norman Cook; and performed by a dream cast drawn from the worlds of indie rock, alt country, R&B and pop.

Goldfrapp

Ten years since Felt Mountain announced their arrival to the wider world, they've perfected the art of delivering the album we didn't know we wanted them to make. Head First is no exception. Head First is Goldfrapp's most powerful trip to date, a speedy rush of synth optimism, euphoria, fantasy and romance. With life affirming lyrics and stellar production it lifts off at full tilt and takes us on a journey to the heart of 2010.

Robyn

The New Robyn EP Body Talk Pt. 1 is AWESOME! A very nice and exciting blend of sassy/sweet electro-pop. I love tracks 1-4 especially, and so should you.

Body Talk Pt. 1 is the fifth studio album by Swedish Grammy-nominated singer Robyn. It will be released on June 14 2010 in Europe and June 15th in USA. It is the first part of the Body Talk series, which consists of three mini-albums.
