Winston Surfshirt – “Same Same” // Henry Gorse

This song emulates the feeling of walking down the street, heading to a coffee shop, going about your day and having the urge to smile at everyone, but not too enthusiastically, just enough to get them interested in your suave personality.  The song’s unique combination of electro pop beats with Dixieland  jazz (or should I say “jass”) solos retains its bluesy upbringing with a modern twist.

Yeo – “Wannabe Feat. Take Your Time” // Robert Bowen

I don’t want your lovin

Cuz I got my own

Yeo just wants to be a superstar – can someone let him know that we’re trying to help? We’re celebrating each funky touch in “Wannabe”, shouting it from the rooftops, sending it through every aux cord handed our way. We’re lip-synching every line and choreographing full routines to follow that stop-start bass. We just hope he remembers us once he’s huge.

Speaking of remembering – when was the last time you listened to “Frost” off VINYL MOON Volume 016: Breathing Shadows?

Yeo – “Chasing Shadows feat. Fractures” // Cafelab

Dance away your sadness with “Chasing Shadows”, a collaboration between two Melbourne-based artists that manages to tap into some serious sadness while still offering plenty for your feet and hips. Self-described as “emo disco”, Fractures’ plaintive vocals are a perfect match for Yeo’s dark-tinged production. A perfect song to make everything around you melt away, leaving you with your own personal thoughts – for better or worse.

For more of Yeo with a few less tears, check out “Frost” as featured on VINYL MOON Volume 016: Breathing Shadows.
