The forlorn, attractive delivery of this band’s gentle electronic sound will take you to instant nostalgic heights and new, somberly electric lows. Unyielding, steady percussion guides their newest release through labyrinthine verses and echoing choruses, rife with heartstring-pulling melodic ups and downs. Thoughtful, precise, yet utterly self-conscious swells will reach you on an extremely personal level, if you let them. I suggest you do.
If I could get away with just saying, this album is good: you won’t be disappointed, I would. Dancey arrangements, intelligent sequences, and a natural, practiced instrumentation wedge this album neatly in the all-things-dancefloor genre. Drawing from the common influences guiding the electronic/dance world right now, this album probably contains 11 viable singles (out of 13 tracks).
Capricious latin rhythms combine with quirky effects and instrumentation to be capped of with a whipped, hip-swaying funk. Their infectious sound will evolve slowly through your body, from toe-tapping, to head-nodding, to shoulder bouncing, to 100 calorie per minute burning hip gyrations. Sounds like a beautiful summer day street festival in high gear, complete with watermelon stands, round, brightly dressed and flirting women (I’m thinking early thirties), and the far and wee sounds of children playing in sprinklers.
