Don’t ask me why but for some reason I woke up this morning with Yello on my mind. “Who?” you ask yourself. Yello is the Swiss electronic duo responsible for the song accompanying Cameron Fry’s 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California. Oh yeah. Still confused? Than you’re probably not a product of the ’80s. I’ve done us all a favor and spent the last 2 hours sorting out all of their songs not worth listening to twice…or even once all the way through for that matter. Out of all the songs I listened to, I enjoyed their more mellowed out tunes the most. Here are two of them, “Distant Mirror” from their 1999 Motion Picture, and “To The Sea” feat. great vocals from Stina Nordenstam off their 1997 Pocket Universe. |

I’ve probably watched Ferris Bueller’s Day Off at least 100 times. If you fancy yourself a Bueller fan than you are well aware that the movie’s soundtrack is totally sweet. The Dream Academy is featured twice in the movie, during Ferris and Sloan’s make out scene and the epic museum scene. Here are the two tunes, “The Edge Of Forever,” from their ‘85 self-titled, and the album version of their cover of The Smith’s “Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want.” |

Cinéma Vérité is a two-piece Canadian group based out of the Montreal/Toronto area who have recently been signed to Le Grand Magistery and plan to release their first album Perfect Day sometime this summer. They’ve got a slight 80’s flare to their more poppy tunes (who doesn’t these days though right?), but there are songs like “Fireworks” that showcase Cinéma Vérité’s unique blend of acoustic-pop and electronic soundscapes. Their tour ep Postcards is a collection of songs from the Perfect Day sessions that we can enjoy until the album is released, with some exclusive songs that didn’t make the final cut. You can purchase Postcards here. finder’s credit: Josh |

Washed Hands is riding the waves alongside Neon Indian, Toro Y Moi, Washed Out, and Delorean in the new chillwave movement. Washed Hands drenches Cyndi Lauper in reverb doused in delay and slows A-Ha down to the deep-sea record-speed gravity of 33 1/2. With song names like “Datsun Dream, 1980″ and “Fashionable Television,” Where The Sun Rains is exactly what you’d expect it to be: an 80s chillwave tsunami. Name your price for the album here. |

MillionYoung makes electronic music that at times can be quite the 80s dance number; other times it’s a hypnotic tribal boogie. “Feel The Same,” released in between his latest EPs, Be So True & Sunndreamm, seems to be a good mix of the two sounds. Me likey. |
