Tender Forever: A lovely surprise

While reading/listening through my CMJ New Music Monthly (best music magazine on the face of the planet), I tripped across Tender Forever. Adorable electronic beats sprinkled over the strong heart-felt vocals of Melanie Valera compose the surprisingly wonderful gem of K Records. At first listen, her pop-synth beats invokes the beauty of The Postal Service. The back and forth volley of lyrics reminisce of Mates of State. And her vulnerable talk-sing lyrics immediately bring to mind the quirkiness of Why?. Then taking bits of these trademark sounds coupled with her Frenchness, Melanie stitches them all together into a unique trademark of her own.
