The unsigned duo known as Low Sea (currently based in Ireland) just released their album Las Olas in Feb of 2010 and there is definitely something to be said about their unique indie-psychedelic sound. They are relatively new on the scene but evidently have had no problem finding their own niche and their own distinct style. This track “Alex” is off their new album and I think it highlights the potential these two possess. The classic, sexy french vocals of Billie(vox/guitar/percussion) fuse with the ambient layered arrangement of synthetic and acoustic sounds created by Bobby D (guitar/bass/sounds) and the synthesis is undoubtedly something special.

Joker is not new to the scene however, his underground hit ‘Baggy Bottom Boys’ was every djs go to track in 2009. With Digidesign we see a departure from the standard and almost cliched deep bass, heavily shuffled or syncopated, and instead are given a bouncy, reverberant, and lustrous rhythm.
