Dune : Shoestring

Melbourne-based artist Dune opens her debut single with icy Vangelis-meets-Monkey Magic flickers before launching into a fairly paint-by-numbers synth-pop tune – heavy bass, led by the '80s-style anguished sex kitten vocal. The song is energetic, atmospheric and has a few notable peaks, so will probably cut through with lovers of Little Dragon and Ladyhawke.
