One of the best tracks presented to me by Seb last year during our weekly witching hour on Student Radio was from Adelaide via Sydney duo Collarbones, the pair behind one of the best singles to come out of either city last year with Beaman Park. Speaking of which, as I was watching Zumba ads on TV earlier tonight Travis put their covers and remix mixtape 'Tigerbeats' online. A prelude of sorts to next year's full length 'Iconography', which is due out through the consistently great Two Bright Lakes record, the mix features previously heard takes on Justin Bieber and Destiny's Child all filtered through the pairs MSN-collaborating, glitch-pop goggles. They also turn in a remix of fellow Two Bright Lakes signings Oscar + Martin (formerly Psuche), turning their vibraphone and typewriter-driven track 'I Sea A Wolf' into a haze of dialtone synths and hills-hoist whirring.
My favourite so far though is the cover of 'Lover of Mine', one of the better tracks from Beach House's Teen Dream. It features some cool sounding vocal interplay between Marcus Whale and fellow Sydney resident Anna Chase, who I'm going to have to check out now...
Update: Rose Quartz premiered a new single from 'Iconography' last week in the form of Don Juan. It finds new ways to endear Marcus' voice to me with some lush multi-tracking and a shuddering dance beat.
