This one brings together 2 songs each by France's Skittle Alley and Indonesia's Annemarie. Skittle Alley first, a mellow and acoustic heavy indie pop on "Its hard to find love", sounds a bit Field Mice which is never a bad thing. "Out of breath" is a bit more jangly but is also good solid C86 indie pop. It reminds me of a NZ band though can't remember the name off-hand. Both songs are really good pop songs.
Annemarie is an ethereal indie pop group with female and male vocals. "Living in my dream" again has classic C86 tones and melodies in the song's DNA but like Skittle Alley its not a copycat but feels like it would not have been out-of-place on Sarah. "We do" has a bigger sound that the first song which is fairly stripped back. Its jingle-jangle pop perfection. Not all globalisation is a bad thing, the globalisation of twee indie pop is truly wonderful.
