Birthday presents IV

We've written about Detox Cute & The Beauty Junkies before - "their idea of pure pop, which Cowell would never understand, and with fragments in view of Helen Love, Saint Etienne and the Pet Shop Boys, not to mention the founding days of synth pop... lovely, loving melody and melancholy." Their alter ego Paisley & Charlie take that latter bit as its starting point, much like Saint Etienne if Bob and Pete had taken Stephen Duffy in his various guises as their starting point. They're on an Indietracks train come July, and here they 'do' Au Revoir Simone.
