Jam of the Day: Blue Hawaii - "Still I Miss U"

Montreal synthpop duo Blue Hawaii (Braids’ Raphaelle ‘Ra’ Standell and Alexander ‘Agor’ Kerby) just released their excellent fourth record Open Reduction Internal Fixation. I'm drawn to the single "Still I Miss U" with its tender synths and aching chorus. Anyone that has gone through a breakup and misses their ex will understand the sentiment of this beautiful track.

Jam of the Day: Blue Hawaii - "No One Like You"

Blue Hawaii, the collaboration between Raphaelle Standell of Braids and Alex Kerby, usually create icy, detached experimental synth pop. "No One Like You," from their upcoming record Tenderness is a 180° turn, luxuriating in a slinky, disco-ey vibe, complete with warm analog synth squeltches and swirling strings. It's a wonderfully surprising song.
