This Week In Earworms: Van She’s “Kelly”
August 18th, 2008
Van She. Amazing. I found the Sydney, Australia band through Last.fm’s “similar artists” feature and a few weeks ago when I was in LA I visited the infamous Amoeba Records, who had a copy of the band’s self-titled EP for only $4 (used!). I promptly snatched it up and have been listening to it incessantly ever since, especially the song Kelly, which I urge you to listen to, STAT. It’s a beautiful, new wave-inspired love song that just tickles you in a special way. A repeat listen for sure.
Their record label describes them as “fresher than Flavor Flav, fresh like coriander, fresher than the Fresh Prince.” I can guarantee you right now that they taste wayyy fresher than coriander, cuz coriander doesn’t taste fresh at ALL. Poor choice of description, Modular.
Van She have a questionably useful (but nonethless cool!) feature on their official site lets you ‘erase’ parts of the content with a drag of the mouse.
Their debut album V came out on Modular Recordings in Australia (also home to fellow Australians The Presets and my favourites, Cut Copy) on August 9 and it’s currently making the rounds on the internet. Hopefully it won’t be months and months (or years?!) before North America sees a hard copy release or some tour dates as was the case with Cut Copy.

been listening to it incessantly ever since …
Ain’t that the truth.
It’s a nice summer-y, synth pop-y album to be enjoyed for those remaining summer days.
