SPOT FESTIVAL DOWNLOAD: Blue Foundation
Copenhagen-based band Blue Foundation have come a long way since releasing their debut single on Moshi Moshi in 2000. They’ve played all over Europe, performed at major festivals and saw tracks from their critically acclaimed second album Sweep of Days featured in Michael Mann’s Miami Vice movie—though it should be said, Blue Foundation’s music is more Scandinavian dream-pop than Floridian pastels and bad facial hair. We have four tracks from their latest release Life of a Ghost today: “Stuck in a Hard Place” and “Enemy” for download, and streams of the tracks “Stained” and “Watch You Sleeping”. The tracks have a certain ethereal quality to them, like what Nina Persson from the Cardigans and Victoria Bergman would make if they were in a side project. Also for some reason we find ourselves hearing a lot about “Disarm” by the Smashing Pumpkins in the mix, but that could just be our fetishism for all things '90s. Anyway, Blue Foundation are ace, check out the links below for the MP3s and make sure to catch them live if you’re attending Spot Fest!
