Alaska In Winter/ Marianne Dissard
Close Your Eyes/ We Are Blind

This record left our Mingus feeling happy.

Alaska In Winter: Close Your Eyes-We Are Blind / Marianne Dissard: Trop Expres (split 7" on Regular Beat) Is more mournful, yearning vocals backed by a buzzing accordian and intro-ed with what sounds like a ukulele . The vocals get distorted later on through a vocoder or some such effect. The beats are lolloping (w/ an electro acoustic fizzing undertow) and the one finger keyboard melodies and a sweet chorus that makes the first side quite a treat. Again comparisons w/ Beirut abound. The flip is a french chanteuse: whispered/spoken/part-growling... backed by simple, swinging guitar licks. Both sides are a suprising treat. Third single of the week contender.
