Born in Turkey, raised in Switzerland, a nice accent on the light vocals, and ethereal noddling that remains part of the song. But no heart-wrenching choruses.
Dan got his push from a fuck-filled “Total Eclipse of the Heart” in Old School, and singing “Feel Like Making Love” to a 13-year old in Starsky and Hutch.
Indie pop with light electronics and keyboards (used as a spice, not as gravy slathered over everything). This guy can sing, move you, and make your feet tap.

She sings, she plays piano, she does both well. She likes Tori Amos, Ben Folds, Rufus Wainwright, Elliot Smith, and other stuff we like. Nice, but nothing new.
Honest and gritty indie rock, with influences of powerpop like Pixies and Husker Dü. So thicker-sounding, lots of guitar jangle with fuzz, and strong melodies.
Comparisons to jangly, American guitar pop of the ’60s, but the intentions of the songs evoke gloomy Northern soul ala The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays.
Blending today’s pop sensibilities with an early ’90s rock sound, the album experiments with songs that come off as adult-contemporary or as college rock.
