#16 of 2015

Dear Poptastic Readers,

#16 in our Top 100 Songs of 2015 is "You And I Alone" by Daphne & Celeste.


Are you unfamiliar with Daphne & Celeste? In 2000 they hit the UK charts with throwaway bubblegum pop tunes “U.G.L.Y”“School's Out” and “Ooh Stick You.” People thought it was funny, annoying or insulting to music. Daphne & Celeste appeared at a music festival and were ‘asked to leave’ by the audience throwing bottles at them and even reportedly a wheelchair. They disappeared soon after.... nearly taking the world with them.

In March of this year, they teamed up with an electronic musician with a penchant for 8bit sounds called Max Tundra got in touch with them asking to collaborate. The result was the one off single “You & I Alone”, an ice cool electro pop song delivered with post punk playful nonchalance. Check out the video ...




Cheers then,
—The Poptastic Confessions Collective
