Yet another indie dance group to come out the works from the suburbs of southern England to join the bandwagon of electro, dance indie blah blah. But I thoroughly enjoyed this record. A wonderful depth of sound is created no thanks to it its funky French house-esque beats, high tempo drumming and melodic catchy riffs.
That said they do sound like a couple of bands already out there. The Foals especially spring to mind. The riffs are a little too similar. So much so, one could mistake them for the same band, if fresh un-nurtured ears were to grace upon them at any given time.
But all is forgiven, even though there's nothing new here; there is that funkier, imaginative yet catchy element about them. "Paris" and "Love sick" being the prime examples of their talents. They're more commercial compared to other the bands in their elite and why not. Listening to the album got me dancing in my room and around my kitchen, which hasn't happened in a while.
I think they'll do well over time and won't be one of those who fail under the lime light when the time comes to close the chapter on this scene. If they do it'll only be because other bands have already beaten them to it and got there first. Let's hope their magic, imagination and talent doesn't go to waste.
