The duo&#8217;s music has been featured as background music for a lot of <strong>runways<\/strong>, as well as some TV shows and movies. That definitely plays a role in why I like it. I have a thing for music that sounds like it&#8217;s in the background of a film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look at their music video and at their single covers on <a href=\"https:\/\/leblonde.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">bandcamp<\/a>, you will see that their aesthetic is one that we&#8217;re already looking at with <strong>nostalgia-tinted glasses<\/strong>. Skinny legs floating in clear water, pink filters, over edited pictures of cherry blossoms. Despite not being very old, I already recognise in those symbols something of the past. And you can hear it too; it&#8217;s audible. The robotic voice at the end of the song is just the cherry on top for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do I like their songs because I feel like I&#8217;m hearing some ghostly voices from the past? Or do I just like it because they kind of sound like Garbage (the band, duh)? And I just <strong><em>love <\/em><\/strong>Garbage. No <strong>prompts <\/strong>today; all this thinking has got me tired. Tell me what you think, and tell me all about your personal positive triggers in music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Answer Below<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beginning of December!
