Elissa Pociask. There is something about her and her voice that got me in a spell. Ever since I first heard her together with Brenmar back in 2005, I've been a huge fan of her, and I loved everything that she has released. When I first heard about Kodacrome I most admit I got a bit sad. I had hoped that she would stay a solo artist since I didn't think she really need anyone else. But I was wrong. Ryan Casey and Phil DaRosa feels like the missing link I wasn't even aware that was missing. Ryan's soundscapes complements Elissa's pop melodies and dark humoured lyrics perfectly. When I was lucky enough to hear a demo of some of their songs, I couldn't stop looking forward to their first proper release. And now it's here. Perla is 6 tracks of the most perfect electronic pop that I could ask for. I fell in love with the opening track The Bug at once, and just when I thought it was the height of pure love, track after track just deepened the love. After the 24 minutes, I just can't help playing it one more time and fall in love all over again. I also have to admit that I'm very pleased to see that they decided to put Robbery, one of my favourite songs of 2011, on the record. Perfect pop for 2012.
