Walter Sobcek - "She's Gone" video
Apparently based out of Paris and Berlin, Walter Sobcek is a bit of a mystery, producing only a few remixes and covers thus far (including one of the best 1901 remixes I have heard). Here they have a perfect specimen of R&B tinged synth-pop where vocoder verses give way to the creamy chorus of this Hall and Oates cover. Kind of like that lush, soulful, LA vibe Mayer Hawthorne was going for. There is a lot of 80's in this song (only without the reverbed drums, for which I am very thankful). It comes complete with a video featuring a John Hughes film, which exudes dreamy nostalgia. "She's Gone" may well be about our 80's and early 90's childhood. If childhood is a women, she is gone. And yet here we are ready to remember her absence. From the myspace:
THE STORY: Walter Sobcek is a man. He likes girls, like Traci Lords or Marilyn Jess. However, he is in love with Chelsea. A 20 year old girl. She is blonde. She is beautiful. She left him. To forget her, Walter also left.
Look for the EP in September.
Many more songs and videos on Myspace.
