Izoxime

So far only a 4 track EP (Le parfum tendre de la vanille) from this Russian synthetic quartet. These songs give a glimpse of a beautiful combination of treated piano and other keys, a distant female voice singing and speaking in French, interesting syncopated rhythms and a lot of synthetic squiggles. The result reminds me of a more beautiful version of William Orbit, when he was at his best (i.e. before "Pieces in a Modern Style). The full EP is downloadable from a few places on the web (with the band's permission) as high bit-rate MP3's.
