98. VILLA COLA "LOST DAYS"


next up is a moody, disco-tinged track Lost Days from London-based new wave/synthpop trio Villa Cola off their new "She" EP (2011).

Lost Days is a ultra-smooth, smokey, disco-ball glittering new wave anthem for irretrievable moments in life, driven by an infectious, throbbing disco bassline et backed-up with a fat, stomping drum beat, while swirling synth washes induce a state of disorienting et blissful euphoria. Ranya Dubé's vocals have a cool sassiness, blended with a jaded, indifferent delivery evoking iconic female new wave/post punk singers from the 80s like Debbie Harry/Blondie.

i have to say that Lost Days is begging to be remixed, it should be getting thrashed on any et every respectable dance floor or bedroom. enjoy!
