Songs We Love: CCFX, 'Venetian Screens'
Featuring members of Trans FX, CC Dust and Vexx, the Olympia trio channels the dream-pop of Cocteau Twins and retro dance sounds of Saint Etienne.
Throw some guidelines for artistic conduct and appropriation into a small collective of musicians based in the same sleepy town (Olympia, Washington, in this case) and you can begin to see how inspiration takes root and how's Berlin trilogy. The output of the duo CC Dust, fronted by vocalist Mary Jane Dunphe, covers similarly gilded terrain within the realms of ethereal pop and dashed electronic rhythms.
