Hello again.
Welcome to Show-off #11.
Hope that you’ll love these songs as much as I do. Play this mix out loud and have a nice day!
The songs:
1. The B-52's - Give Me Back My Man
A fantastic song. Ricky Wilson is one of the most unique but criminally underrated guitar players. RIP.

2. Kontravoid - Never Alone
From the camouflage master, Kontravoid a.k.a Cameron Findlay's latest LP. One of this year's best LPs.

3. Tempers - Capital Pains
Last month, Novan mentioned this band/release to me a couple of times. Took me a couple of listen to finally get his "idea".

4. Fir Cone Children - Into The Sea (feat. Krissy Vanderwoude)
This song has a very nice melody!

5. Ami Marie - Sonnenschein
A minimal synth classic from a mysterious unknown maestro. "Sonnenschein" is a B-side from their Hula Hoop single. What's more romantic than being one of the greatest gems in 80s NDW but remain unknown?

6. Wingtips - Here and Now
Wingtips never fail in terms of delivering us amazing dark-ballads. "Here and Now" is taken from this Chicago-duo's full debut.

7. Soft Cell - Tainted Love
I once read that Soft Cell is an overlooked part from "the big five" of classic English synthpop/electro-pop. The other four are Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Depeche Mode, The Human League, and Gary Numan. What do you think?

8. Linea Aspera - Fer-de-Lance
One of my favourite pair of all time is back for a reunion tour. A sign of new materials? Let's keep our fingers crossed!
