Vocoder's 'Deja vu' on Teenage Jesus Records is an honest little DIY lo-fi indie CD. The girls voice is quite sweet and Brian says she reminds him a little of Lois Maffeo. There's almost a fragile pop feel to some of the tracks albeit sounding like it was recorded in a bedroom. This reminds me a bit of Kimya Dawson and will no doubt go down well with fans of K records and that kind of stuff .------------------------------------

I love this!! 400% magic. 60 plays and its not slowing down. I listen to it every night before I have a bath and then brush my teeth and then I go to bed. Its amazing. Thanks Vocoder - whoever you are!!!
