(Thanks must go to Chris for this one.)

The Submarines, who list themselves on Myspace as “ghettotech” and “shoegaze” have a good thing going, here. “You, Me” is a well-crafted song, lo-fi in all the right places with a slight fuzz on the otherwise clear and tuneful vocals. A marimba dings sweetly amidst hand-claps and deliciously mushy guitar, accompanied by pounded piano and the crinkle-clash of a tambourine. A toe-tapping ditty with a poppy, almost anthemic chorus and spoken-word element, it’s a keeper for sure.
