Starting with a drum beat which wouldn’t sound out of place at the start of a Muse track, the song then deviates in a completely different direction. Where Muse would go down the slightly darker route, Gypsy & The Cat take the fresh and uplifting road to electronic pop as opposed to electronic rock.
The group is made up of two DJs from Melbourne who, in their 80s synth and breezy chorus, take a leaf from the sounds of fellow Australian band Temper Trap in creating light and incredibly easy to listen to refreshing music.
The vocals and flicks of electronic chords give it that 80s sound which has made a bit of a comeback of recent, but the production itself retains it from going right back to that decade in keeping that sparkle and originality.
I’ve heard great things about the album so if it continues in this vein it will be definitely worth a listen, and as Kylie had them as her support act on the Australian leg of her recent Aphrodite Tour – we all know that no-one dares question Miss Minogue and her excellent judgement on new bands (see also Hurts) ;-)
