DEAD SCIENCE on your shore [Enya cover]

.
there's this british guy who compared Sam Micken's voice to the one of Antony Hegarty's. quite unflattering. i totally agree.
but: no narcissistic dysfunction, no non-ironic affectation here.

all you have to do is find a way to cope with it.

and then, you're in a new atmospheric environment.
think tom cruise in interview with a vampire.
Micken's voice is so much artificial and technically precise, controlled and distant, that it gets an instrumental character.

they started as a Xiu Xiu-double, but are now in their own spheres.

best live-band i've seen last year (and maybe best cover-band ever - do you know the original on your shore?)
tremendous. at every moment unexpected and yet coherent.





listen.
