| A Tribute to Venus Hum; my new favorite band Review: Big Beautiful Sky Released in 2003, their first official studio release is upbeat, electonically poppy and sits in much needed contrast to bump-and-grind electronic music. Instead of singing about how to attract a new lover on the dance floor (like most electronic music), Venus Hum celebrates the little sparks of delight in life. In Montana, the vocalist, Annette, rejoices over beautiful dandilions and big sky. The Bells gives us a look at Venus Hum's love of sound. Throughout the album the listener encounters themes of the joy of singing, the wonder of nature and the curious interaction between friends and lovers. As a huge fan of Bjork it is no wonder I love Venus Hum. Bjork is listed as one of their influences and Artists3.iuma.com even describes their song, Run Annie Run, as displaying a "Bjork-like throb." Check out some legal Christmas MP3's from their website: This is from their "Illusive and much talked about Switched on Christmas Record." It contains 6 songs. Silent Night is my personal fave:) |
| WHAT I AM LISTENING TO: 1. Four strings: good ol' techno 2. Frou Frou: dancy europop 3. Bjork! 4. Venus Hum (awesome electronic music) 5. Nickel Creek: pop bluegrass |
