Fenech Soler release Golden Sun as free download

In need of a Wednesday fix of all round synth goodness? Fenech Soler are giving away their rather brilliant track Golden Sun on NME's website here.

The song originally featured on the band's self-titled debut album, released last year. It's a far cry from the more laid-back vibes of the beautiful Stop and Stare, instead opting for filthy electro bass and fast hooks.

The band play London's iconic KOKO tonight (28th September)

Fenech Soler - Stop & Stare

If the likes of Metronomy's English Riviera album has got you hooked on shimmery, beautiful electronica and you fancy some more to ease yourself into the summer, Fenech Soler's new single Stop & Stare will be perfect for you.

You may have heard one of the many brilliant mixes they've produced for other artists in recent years, one of my favourites is their take on Andy Bell's Running Out.

As for Stop & Stare itself, it's a glossy concoction of flickering synths and twinkling 80s keyboard melodies that blaze away like starlight. It also packs one hell of a chorus, a rarity perhaps in their genre. The formula clearly seems to be working, with Stop & Stare being B-listed on Radio 1.

Stop & Stare is available to download on iTunes now.

You can get the great, stripped back 'White Version' from their website too.
