Van She has a very snazzy official site, which is sometimes enough to hook the web geeks at SS in for an extended look-see. They're a stylish buncha' dudes, we'll give em' that, but there wasn't any music to sink out teeth into. So we moved onto the back-up: the MySpace page of course. And there we found, in line with only the best of 80's synth, a band that backs up the duds with quality tunes.
"Sex City" is a brooding, fuzzy, delicious cut of pop that would fit in nicely as a ballsier Human League cut. "Mission" combines an old-school Cure riff, handclaps and the usual synthy goodness for another winner, but "Kelly" might be the break-out single here. It's definitely the most pop-oriented, and stops just this side of cheesy, but it's catchy as all hell. We're partial to the first two, but drop it right on the Breakfast Club soundtrack and you're in business.
Van She is currently touring the homeland in Australia, but will hit NYC on 11/1 for the CMJ fest, and the following day at record label Modular's Brooklyn shindig.
