Lost Signal & The Happy Somethings: Stairs from the Moon

Some things are not supposed to work, but somehow they do. Stairs from the Moon, a collaborative single made by Matt Couchman electronics project Lost Signal and twee trio The Happy Somethings, is a fine example for getting it right against all odds. Wrapped in Couchman's Ultravox-esque soundscapes, the trio's shared vocals manage lift-off in a dreamy trip to outer space. There, being freed from everyday hassles, they can claim everything as belonging to them, as kids like to do when they are convinced that they are the centre of the universe.

Straying Waifs (Bootleg) is a self-released album. Buy it (pay-what-you-want-it) from their website.
