What's Kraken?

What's Kraken folks?

Lots of things I've been behind on...so here is a collection of mini posts:




Pipettes- Our Love Was Saved By Spacemen

New track by one of my favorite anachronistic acts. Seems the trio is now a duo though :( The new track has a different sound then the groups first album's 50's girl group style, but they continue to stray into old school territory with distinct vocal style, almost tribal drum beats, and a jangly guitar solo worthy of Johnny Marr early 80s Smiths. The song and video are fairly simplistic in story: ungrateful boyfriend is abducted by aliens and has his mind erased so he can fall back in love with his girl. Perfect quick fix, yes?
