don't want nothing but the callousness i had



Two Door Cinema Club - I Can Talk
Two doors but three people with the help of technology and a thirst for anything quirky. This electropop outfit utilises catchy lyrics and riffs, overloading you in the chorus with "Now I can talk/No one gets off". But when you hear things like "It's hard to compromise/When I see through your eyes", you know they aren't as flippant as they seem to be. Anyhow, it's more like they are just having fun making music, quite evident from the whole mood of the song. Uplifting riffs and outrageous use of the electronica makes for quite the recipe.

Two Door Cinema Club - Something Good Can Work
Here's another highly enjoyable piece from them.

There's a spanner in the works, you know/You gotta step up your game to make it to the top

Chew Lips - Salt Air

Chew Lips - Slick
This song is so totally ripe for dancing. Could break into a dance any moment. I love Tig's vocals. It's clear and crisp, could be better than La Roux. Both La Roux and Chew Lips are fronted by pretty interesting women, strong personalities. I'm so in love with their brand of dance-pop. It's really really really really danceable. The synths and keyboards complement her voice very nicely, wrapping around her vocals which is the main driving force of their songs. Chew Lips are vocalist Tigs, and multi-instrumentalists Will Sanderson and James Watkins.
