Comparisons to New York’s kings of cool, The Rapture are obvious but their influence on music right now is there for all to see. Dance music is having quite an influence on indie at the moment and whilst “nu-rave” thankfully never really got going despite the hype, the likes of Friendly Fires, Late of the Pier and Klaxons are leading the way with their mixture of guitars and electro.
For an album that has taken some two years to make, the album seems very lean, clocking in at just 37 minutes, but this does not detract from the quality of the album at all.
The songs stick to a fairly similar formula throughout but there are some excellent stand out tracks (‘Paris’ and 'In the Hospital') but the album sounds good as a whole, not sounding out of place on the radio or on the dance floor. Instantly accessible, you’ll be sure to hear more from them.
4/5
