My New Favorite Band?

Pin Me Down is Bloc Party guitarist Russell Lissack and Milena Mepris. This band already wins because it has Lissack in it, but one listen will make you fall in love with Mepris too. Her voice is great and the two songs they have streaming on their MySpace will remind you if female vocals were put over Bloc Party b-sides. Not to say these tracks are only b-side worthy - just an analogy people. A bit more pop involved though, in case you're wondering.

Pitchfork reported that they are creating the tunes mostly via e-mail, which may remind you of another band. Either way, let's hope this continues and we can get a full-length later this year or early next.

If you cannot wait that long their song "Cryptic" will be on a Kitsune compilation. I actually looked at his February 4 release not too long ago, but didn't pay any attention to Pin Me Down. Other notable artists on the compilation are M.I.A., Fischerspooner and The Teenagers.
