Never heard about these three girls before, and yet, they've been around for a while (since 2004 I think), I listened to this album because it was a suggested pick for my customized account at an online music store when I was looking for a Ladytron album.
I listened to this album with little interest the first times it was spinning, suddenly when I was reading and listening to these songs there was a track that catched my attention inmediately: Only You Can Make You Happy, it's like an interlude-like song with a long and soft intro, begins with an analogue synth riff, then a wall of digital sounds drops blended with sweet vocals, it is a marvelous track.
As it is a synth band with a lot of programmed beats, everyone trends to think that they'll try to recreate an 80's sounds, but this is not the case, even when they may sound a little retro on some songs the whole concept is very innovative.
This is one of the best albums of the year, lot of people may think it is a repeated formula, you know, three synths, sweet vocals and good beats, but this band has a different vibe, you can feel this vibe on the songs and the whole album leaves a sensation of wanting more, I could say that there's a feel of tenderness too, I don't know if it's that femme touch but definitely there's something different with these chicks.
Give it a listen and you'll fall in love with them as I fell.
Songs I liked most: Only you can make you happy, All or nothing, Anywhere you looked, Take me as I am, Another likely story.
