155. SELEBRITIES "CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND"


find yourself itching for some high quality, 'authentic' 80s-tinged new wave? well look no further than this next 80s-worshiping, synth-laden track, Can't Make Up My Mind from Brooklyn-based synthpop/new wave trio Selebrities off their impressive debut album "Delusions" (2011).

"Just be quiet / I can't make up my mind."

Can't Make Up My Mind is a the perfect commingling of whimsical, jangly indie pop et infectious, melancholy-tinged synth-driven new wave, vocalist Maria Usbeck’s ultra-cool, pouty, detached vocals have a flirtatious, push-pull effect, which leaves you hooked et wanting more, that et the awesomely woozy, reverb-drowned guitar riff, splashing, dull snare hits et deliriously cheesy synth melody. who needs a time-machine, just press play, close your eyes et you'll be transported instantly back to Britain in the early 80s! enjoy!


MP3: Can't Make Up My Mind

check out the moody, 80s styled performance music video for Can't Make Up My Mind, directed by Justin Liberman. there's a definite nod to Human League's awesome self-reflexive video for Don't You Want Me.


the "Delusions" album is available from Cascine on cd et Darla Records on vinyl limited to 500 copies worldwide {apparently there are some random pink coloured vinyl out there}, otherwise you can grab it digitally from itunes. it is worth noting that you can currently still download the Selebrities fantastic "Ladies Man Effect" EP (2010) for free from the Cascine site.
