Stricken City

I’m not usually one for this indie-dance nonsense. Not because I have anything against it. I’m just not into the whole electronic kind of sound. To me, it’s hardly dance music unless it contains handclaps, but that’s a different matter. Still, the sweet spot where indie and dance collide seems to be very “in” these days. At least that’s what I gather from “the kids”.

Every now and again, a band will come along that does it in a way I actually like. I first covered on here a year ago when their brilliant Tak o Tak was doing the rounds. I half expected it to be a one-off though, and for the band to go on and become huge while never making much else I’d actually like. Now they’ve only gone and popped up with Pull the House Down to prove me wrong. It’s a little slower and a little looser, and with their first US release coming up, will likely get them a little closer to becoming massive.

Songs About People I Know will be released on October 12 by Pure Groove.
