In Ghost Colours is probs one of my favourite albums of the past two years or so. It's still good. I'm listening to it now. It's so I'm-gonna-fist-pump-now-but-I-wont-because-that's-lame-y. And everyone knows when you wanna pump that fist it's serious feel-good awesome-ness. It was eighties recapitulated//made more awesome. Anyone who hasn't heard it needs to. It is awesome.
This post, however, is about their new one. It is different. It draws more from Talking Heads territory at times instead of shimmery synth-poppy goodness. Hence, it is darker, more plateau-ey. It feels like sometimes it flat-lines. But it's a different eighties feel; more Eau d'Bedroom Dancing - socks on carpet vibes, sipping wine from a pap-sak before we go out than the tracks off In Ghost Colours that are Dance-Floor Winners.
