Electronic Music in the Rain

So after being abandoned downtown I went on a bit of a stroll down the wet rainy and did I mention windy frigid streets of Asheville I found the perfect companion.

Straight up Swedish electronica which is scene sadly unnoticed (The Knife, Pacific!, El Perro Del Mar, Tough Alliance, Air France, Lo-Fi-Fnk, Embassy, Juvelen, Gentle Touch, and Zeigest just to name a few) in music now, sure it's not only limited to the region of Sweden because Australia, U.K, and Canada do pump out a good electronic act or two.

My lethal ear canal injection of choice was the Junior Boys an Ontario bound duo of two young tech savvy gentleman who make sparse, yet never empty, catchy, but never nauseating, mix of pop, dance, and straight up techno.

There's just some element of synth heavy music that really captures an icy and cold atmosphere. Something that just washes you over in a wave of otherwordlness.

Just listen and find out:
