Mmm…. seems like we weren’t the only ones loving Sally Shapiro this past summer. For what it is worth Pitchfork is in on the love too. Geez, are they lining Sally Shapiro up to be the next Annie or Lilly Allen? Just kidding… kinda. Either way, I doubt she’s going to be our secret much longer.
Don’t be thrown off by the title, “Anorak Christmas” isn’t exactly a Christmas song in the traditional sense. “Anorak Christmas”, a cover of the song by Swedish artist Nixon, is an icy, irresistible lovely little pop track that will have you wanting to snuggle up with your loved one at the fireplace. Watch it. People are going to be making out to this song. “I Know” is dripping in retro, but like her other tracks it’s really Sally Shapiro’s sweet and almost innocent vocals that make the song. If you thought “By Your Side” was as good as it gets… well you were wrong. Both new tracks surpass “By Your Side.”
Sally Shapiro - “Anorak Christmas” (mp3)
Sally Shapiro - “I Know” (mp3)
Both tracks are off Sally Shapiro’s new ep “Disco Romance.” The release is couple with a 12″ full of electro and italo-disco remixes. “Disco Romance” is set for an early December release on Marflow’s Diskokaine label.

Love these. Got a snuggle off my lovely lady, but had to stop short of making out, due to Coronation Street being on the TV. TV eh?

I like the tracks a lott!, but By your side is so far the best of the three in my humble opinion.

Wow, she is utterly fantastic. Thx for posting more. (And she’s about a billion times better than Annie & Lily Allen, but that’s totes obvs.)
