Dune - Shoestring (03/08/2012)
Dune has electronic music in her blood. Her father was influential in the British experimental scene in the 1970s, and she utilises some of his synth gear in creating her jungly electro-pop.
The stage moniker of Melbourne's Jade McRae, debut single 'Shoestring' shows Dune fits neatly in a so-hot-right-now niche, alongside the likes of Santigold and Little Dragon.
McRae is not completely green on the scene in her own musical pursuits, and has collaborations with The Sleepy Jackson and PNAU on her curriculum vitae.
'Shoestring' is commercially accessible, with a tribal rhythm and melodic hook, and the Katalyst remix shines the up-tempo original into a polished, moody slow-burner.
