Whilst I was working today, I took some time out to do some more browsing through the iTunes Music Store and came across them by accident. I’d forgotten all about these folks. I first heard about them a couple of months ago, but I don’t know in what relation too. Maybe Cocteau Twins, or Violet Indiana.

If you like 80s synth-based songs, with 21st century production qualities, proper songs, great arrangements, instrumentations and very nice vocals, Venus Hum are your bag. They’ve been compared to Björk, Depeché Mode and Kate Bush. This track is taken from their 2003 album Big Beautiful Sky, and is actually going to be released as a single in the UK on July 21st. See more at their website.

Side note: Venus Hum’s singer Annette Strean also sung on Blue Man Group’s acoustic reworking of I Feel Love of which you can find, err.. non-acoustic remixes on iTMS.
