Jetpilot Music Reviews

Australian 80s revivalists Van She have just come out with their latest single, Cat & The Eye and it sounds really rather good. It also sounds incredibly familiar but I’m really not sure how to place it.

Either way here’s the weirdly nonsensical music video for Cat & The Eye. Enjoy…

If you aren’t familiar with Van She they’ve come out with a few brilliant songs on their self-titled EP, with Kelly and Sex City seeming to be the more recognisable tracks from the remixes floating around the blogosphere. Cut Copy and Alan Braxe have lent their talents to Kelly, while Sex City got the Nightmoves and South Central treatment. All in all excellent remixes of some excellent songs, and to to prove it, here are the unadulterated original versions of both songs.

Van She – Sex City

Sex City is my favourite of the two. I’m not sure why, it just is. If you want to know how to get your hands on these and other Van She goodies, get their self-titled EP here.

I really enjoy Van She for the songs they come out with and because their sound is quite different to a lot of the club-centric stuff emanating from Australia. Don’t get me wrong, I love that stuff, but it’s nice to have a little variety.

After all, variety is the spice of life.

Hat-tip to Travis over at Bigstereo for the headline and hooking us up with the Van She music video.
