[THOM'S TOP TRACKS] August 2011

I was so glad to see the sun out in August, it just reminds me of last summer with Dad down the beach, woof! Sand, sun and smells. And the other dogs, talk about some babes...

Check out my list of top tracks for the month. Dad reckons it was a hard month, but I have my favourites that I shake my tail to. Til next month, woof.

HAVE YOU DISCOVERED... VOLTAIRE TWINS?

Western Australia is known for some of Australia's freshest musical talents (think Little Birdy, Birds of Tokyo, Eskimo Joe, Pendulum, etc); so you can imagine how excited I was to hear of another group from Perth with fresh new music.

Siblings Jaymes and Tegan form the band the Voltaire Twins and they've just unleashed their new single upon the world - the very cool pop gem Animalia. Like taking a page out of a Van She, Ladyhawke or Pnau book; the twins take us on an electro-synth journey that is both a familiar yet unique sound.

For a limited time the track, along with some sexy remixes by Lifelike and Purple Sneakers, is available FOR FREE from the groups website. I'm not quite sure it gets any better than this.

As a side note: the Voltaire Twins aren't in fact new to the scene - they were unearthed via Triple J's Unearthed Play At Parklife way back in 2008! Where have they been all my life?
