Influences

Found some interesting influences, always publicly funded (heard on CBC radio).

First there is Nouvelle Vague, a sort of samba cover band of non-samba songs. I like in particular "I just can't get enough".

Lesser influence, but more for the haunting voice (all lead to Sarah..), there is Jill Barber with the track: "In perfect time" and to a lesser degree "Oh heart". Seems that firefox and IE behave differently on this sample site... some songs are not accessible in firefox.

I am also taken by Jill Sobule and her jazz sound, "Heroes" from the Pink Pearl album remains my favourite, and "Loveless motel" a close second.

Finally, there are the Virgin Prunes and some interesting bass lines.

Can't wait to play some of the covers we chose together, with a strong restrained psychedelic slow syncopated beat.
