Artist of the Day: Ladyhawke

I won't keep up with this every day, but now and again I'm going to start posting some tracks from musicians that I find particularly interesting.

Today - I give you Ladyhawke. She's a New Zealander that sounds fresh out of 1987. These tracks could soundtrack a John Hughes movie - I can't help but think of Molly Ringwald every time I put this album on. But beyond the obvious cues from past decades, this music still manages to sound fresh to me - I think it has to do with the ways in which she sings, the lyrical content, and the guitar tones (which I think are fantastic). Not to mention: the hooks are outrageous.

Listen and love (and know that the full album is just as good):
