Huski: There She Goes
It is lazy, but oh so easy to compare Huski with Goldfrapp. While their debut album Love Peace Pain initially appears to draw from some lineage between Felt Mountains and Black Cherry, Huski are actually more diverse and intriguing.
This is a collaboration between the musically omnipotent Maple Bee and some guy named Pike. Their somewhat angular melodies seem to be inspired by 70s pop and late-80s Cocteau Twins. This impression grows as one listens further through the album, climaxing with There She Goes, a blissed-out groove that begins with simple synth pulses and an acoustic guitar, adds a piano, then throws in other instruments, beats and just one vocal line (it’s all it needs). From thereon in everything turns deliciously shoegazy.
