70. COMPUTER MAGIC "FOUND OUT"


here's a fantastic new artist i discovered while strolling the net in search of something fresh et delicious to listen to, well i came upon something that certainly got my attention, this catchy-as-hell, sombre et broody synth-pop track, Found Out from uber-talented Brooklyn based bedroom indie/electro-pop artist Computer Magic {Danielle ‘Danz’ Johnson} off her forthcoming "Electronic Fences" 12" (2011).

"I never listen to a thing / cause i found out ..."

Found Out has an enchanting scandinavian indie pop feel to it, simple, well-crafted, elegant melodies, artful, 80s-tinged instrumentation et endearingly dreamy et wistful female vocals. Johnson manages to be both gloomy et doleful as well as bright et uplifting, with her deliriously catchy refrain. in a short time she has managed to successfully develop her own unique blend of well-crafted, catchy indie/electro pop music, which at present, seems to be pouring out of her freely, you'll be glad you found out about Computer Magic after one listen!

there are echoes of Broadcast on this track ... enjoy!


MP3: Found Out

MP3: The End of Time

et here is another awesome track from the "Hiding From Our Time" EP (2010), also available for free download on Danz's website here. there is an earlier spacey, lo-fi version of Found Out on this EP, which is interesting to compare.

MP3: Teenage Ballad (High School)
