[VIDEO]Vanbot: Make Me, Break Me Posted: 22 Nov 2011 09:40 AM PST Click here to view the embedded video. I have not mentioned Vanbot, duo of Ester Ideskog and Sebastian Forslund, much here at Kick Kick Snare, but really the their self titled debut album has been one of my favorite albums of 2011, even 7 months after I first heard it, it is everything I could want in a pop album.  The duo has finally released the official video for their first single ‘Make Me, Break Me’ and I am more than happy to share it with you all. For those of you who don’t know Vanbot, they musically rest somewhere, and very comfortably I might add, between the raw emotion of Robyn, the calmingly upbeat feel of Ellie Goulding/Starsmith and the emotional synths of Little Boots.  Ester‘s voice is clear and crisp – made for pop melodies. At times she sounds like Martina of Dragonette (Bad Day), at others she has the ethereal air of Kylie Minogue (Numb, Maybe), there is also a point (Make Me, Break Me) where she just screams pop diva Britney Spears (though without the need for Britney's computers). Working to write this album on her own, over the span of quite some time, Ester and Sebastian have intensely and very sincerely worked to create something special and it shows.
