The Blow
Portland, USA
The Blow, a new favourite of mine. Chilled synth pop from Portland. The female, male duo have just released their 4th album Paper Television and after listening to it for the umpteenth time this weekend, I'm slighly surprised I hadn't heard of them earlier. It is, however, the sound of the moment, and with bands like The Klaxons, Cansei and New Young Pony Club doing the rounds, these guys are sure to be a hit over the summer. Check them out, I could hardly recommend them more.

they're awesome, i've had "pile of gold" on my partying playlist for a few weeks and it's grown on me like some kind of funky party fungus.
a funkus?

I saw them a few years ago in Vancouver opening for someone (The Hidden Cameras I think) and I wasn't all that taken with them. But I'll have to check out some of their newer stuff.

Yeah I read a bit about them before... a lot of people are saying they've matured a bit and are playing better now. I have no idea though... will have to get my hands on those other albums!
i like these guys,they have a very cool sound and im glad their album was fbi's album of the week last week
i had no idea they had been around for a while, i was under the impression they were relative newbies
