Heartbreak is a charming duo from London who play Italo /Electro. They were charming because they were both super nice, rocked out some crazy stage antics and were almost impossible to understand with thick accents. They opened for Cut Copy and The Presets on Tuesday. I scribble out this interview in a ten year old mead notebook so I don’t know who said what between the two: All and Sebastian.
I really liked the song “Don’t lose my time”, it sounds very authentic to older Italo Disco and it actually reminded me of the classic “How old are you?” by Miko Mission. Is this genre what you want to pursue?
Italo is our main influence. Our musical intentions are to keep writing songs like it but to stay free to change.

These are three gems I ran into in the last day or two, added to my small playlist of music I can enjoy just as music and not as dance floor fillers.
CSS- Move (Cut Copy remix)
Cut Copy is always dependable. Soft, rhythmic anthems and Australian Electro-pop. Which seems necessary to save CSS from fading from memory after “music is my hot sex” left the stage. The end of this song is the most interesting the last two minutes being almost entirely soaring melody, the vocals long forgotten.
Fleet Foxes- Heard them Stirring
And here lies the the next big NW band. Hot on the heals of The Decemberist and their runaway success is this Seattle five piece with long names and deep, beautiful voices. This is my favorite song on the album for the shear power of the opening soar…
The Bug- Flying
This is some of the most mellow and haunting dubstep to emerge yet and it is a nice contrast to the “angry” sound of the newest star.
