Recently on a trip to Charlotte, NC a friend pulled me aside at a party and told me to listen to the song playing on the stereo. He had thrown on The Submarine's "1940 (AmpLive Remix)" and little did I know it would soon become a top played song on my iTunes. The dark, undulating backbeats take a ride along haunting vocals from female lead singer Blake Hazard. Blake, the great-granddaughter of writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, and John Dragonetti make up the indie-pop duo and they have much on the horizon. The Submarines are currently touring with Ra Ra Riot on the west coast and recently released a new EP and it is streaming on their website.
Here's the AmpLive remix of "1940", though the original track is definitely worth listening too. The original is much slower, but has some nice strings and the addition of a tambourine..
