Coming to us from Switzerland is Division Kent.

The style of music Division Kent shares is electric pop dance music. The vocals are distant and airy, they music is well produced to add to the overall dreamlike quality. Their latest (and second) album is Gravity which their MySpace page beautifully defines on their MySpace page. The story is that the entire album is based and named off one particular track.
The new album is named after a track that turned into what it is by a series of coincidences and accidents: a beat flying into a frenzy; a voice that dives abruptly one night; two song sketches coming together.
Andrea B. & Sky Antinori have put together 11 tracks that send you on an auditory fantasy ride. A little bit Daft Punk in style, their music escapes the alternative indie feel to embrace something a bit more alive.

You have "L'Heure Bleue" which is the kind of music I would imagine in the background of my favorite anime shows. This track is so smooth it is almost hypnotically entrancing. And then there is synthesized and strings "She's Going Places" which is an intense and focused track; definitely dramatic.

Listen:
Division Kent - "L'Heure Bleue" (mp3)
Division Kent - "She's Going Places" (mp3)

Buy their music!
