Today's electronic scene, especially the radio-friendly version, is filled with cold, soulless copies of the bands that had a huge hit a few weeks earlier.  Sometimes those copycats make it to the big festivals and receive mixed reactions. Luckily, sometimes one of those acts add some decent songwriting, storytelling and real talent into the electronic mix. Judging from the calm, soothing sounds I'm listening to right now, Dream Koala is one of the latter.

This three-track e.p. is quite a nice piece of work, not that different from most of today's electronic scene but seemingly rooted in a richer history than the usual autotune artists.  While others drive on dubstep tempos and deep basslines, Dream Koala adds a sense of new wave, something between Kraftwerk and Eurythmics, to the earlier mentioned elements.  That combination makes this ep warm and very listenable.

My favorite track is opener 'Dimension Sleeper', which strangely is the most friendly one as well.  'Synthetic' is a bit darker and closer 'Threnody To Earth' even comes up with a little bit of soft rock.  All of course, firmly enhanced by electronics and the gentle voice of this French-Brazilian singer/songwriter.  If you're into deep basslines and slow tempos, check it out.  Perhaps you will like it as much as I do now...
