Zapped with "Psapp"

SHOW IN LOWLANDS


"we quite like cats, also snakes, stickers, mess and bad puns"

Psapp is the collective experiences of Carim Clasmann and Galia Durant, a London based pair of happy anoraks whose mutual obsession with odd noises and heart-prodding pop has resulted in a sound that slips between genres like an excited snake in a margarine tub.
Noise fanatic and self-confessed philistine Carim, a veteran engineer and producer whose talents have taken him all over Europe working with the likes of Einsturzende Neubauten and Natacha Atlas, met with Casio enthusiast Galia; and their shared love of nonsense and clicks soldered them together for good.
Sampling anything they could lay their greasy hands on, the pair pinched sounds from snowy carparks, cats, bike sheds, sitting rooms, fathers and cookery, and nestled themselves away using binary to stitch and snip their analogue finds.
The results are an unlikely mix of heartfelt songs and surprising bursts of noise. Psapp has distilled this couple's talents - Carim's production prowess, and Galia's penchant for warm hooks and quirky world musings. (posteverything.com)

I first heard of Psapp (with a silent "P") as Grey's Anatomy closing song of "Cosy in the rocket", and i hunted some of their own songs. I have 4 songs from them, "Tricycle" which is really the real experimental song thing, "Hi", "Cosy in the rocket", "King of you" love the vocals and the lyrics. This band is quite interesting because they use toys, i mean literally for their instruments. They love cats a lot. Galia, has a very sultry voice and i mean i am such a fan for girls who sing like that. I love the way they play music, easy and experimental. They're funny, i love this band. i think they're probably going to make it big.
