The Weekly Froth! A weekly take on six tracks, most of which have recently popped up somewhere in the blogosphere. Bit of a mixed bag with a slight leaning towards house, disco, and remixes, but generally just anything that for some reason tickled the writer’s fancy.
Track of the Week: ‘Pieces of Gold’ by The Aikiu
Hey, where has this been the last couple of years? I feel like I’ve been missing stuff like this. Starts out nicely with the drums, bit up-tempo, and then those happy, light synth sounds come in. And then, on top of that, those very theatrical vocals which I just completely love. The drums keep this one going on forward and forward, the synth and the orchestrated music give the song its atmosphere, and the vocals really put a face on it, give it its character. In essence, it just is a lovely pop song. Very orchestrated sound, easy on the ear, and pretty catchy as well. Those drums coming in again at around 2:30, I mean, I see that at a sunny festival getting people really into it and putting their hands up and dancing. I’m impressed with the whole package to be honest, and the whole EP is streaming on SoundCloud, so check that out eh?
