Mountain Dew music?!


Now longer by request.... My post!

Here's something interesting! Mountain Dew has its own label and is sponsoring several artists including Matt & Kim and The Cool Kids. But by far the most interesting (and catchy) song in their lineup is Big Bills by Flosstradamus feat. Caroline Polachek. With a name like Flosstradamus, it's not entirely surprising that the song (and the members themselves) remind me of Chromeo. It also doesn't help when you're friends on myspace either...



Big Bills has floating synths, a simple dance beat, and a simple and extremely catchy chorus. This inlcuding Caroline Polachek's sultry voice mixed with the right amount of muffledness make for a great (but cheesy) pop song. All in all, it's a pretty straightforward dance/pop track that has a ability to get stuck in your head for a long time. Also, this song is playing on repeat as I write this post, although it's no My Girls. Not bad for Flosstradamus's first real song, eh? Well Flosstradmaus is 2 DJs and 4 turntables with some decent dance remixes and look forward to hearing them in a commercial (along with Andrew Bird, though hopefully not the same one). Also if you haven't heard of Caroline Polachek, you've probably heard her. She's the singer in Chairlift, the band that did the song Bruises, which was featured in the iPod nano commercials with the rainbow selection of nanos that bleed their own colors. Here's the retro video:
