NEW MUSIC FRIDAY>> Hecuba Hecuba

Hecuba "Suffering" [Official Video] HD from Hecuba on Vimeo.from last.fm: HECUBA is Isabelle Albuquerque and Jon Beasley from Los Angeles. [...] Dancers, Japanese Koto harp, computers, beat machines, trombones and soul singers have all played a part in the sound. One never knows what to expect from Hecuba.

"Suffering" is bouncy sad doo-wop for depressed young folks nostalgic for the maltshake-&-drive-thru 50's culture they never had. The band is most commonly labelled as freak-folk, but the steady melodic drone-pop can be harkened more to the likes of New Order than anything Devendra Banhart.
