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.

What their label says...

Limited to just 500 copies, this white vinyl split-7" features ALASKA IN WINTER’s ‘Close Your Eyes – We Are Blind’ (with BEIRUT’s Zach Condon
guesting on vocals and ukelele) on the A-side, while the flipside is occupied by Tucson-based French chanteuse MARIANNE DISSARD and her track
‘Trop Exprés’ (co-written and performed with Calexico’s Joey Burns).
