Artist: You Say Party! We Say Die!
Album: XXXX
Label: Paper Bag
Genre: Synth dance-punk
First things first- “XXXX” does in fact not refer to any type of porn rating, so don’t expect anything lewd here. The four X's stand for LOVE. Thumping basslines propel slick synth-dancey tunes through this album- think the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s It’s Blitz! with more dance tracks. The vocalist here alters between a Siouxee/Karen O persona (2) and a more vulnerable sound akin to Bat for Lashes or Fever Ray (1). Track 7 (“Laura Palmer’s Prom, a nice Twin Peaks reference!) is a really stunning work of synth-pop. It’s nice to see YSP!WSD! adopting a more mature, sentimental sound but that great catchy dance-punk sound is still there. Get ready to pogo.
