Tim: A track here from a US-based Swede, taking its cues from modern guitar dance stuff and, it seems, Cascada.
Tom: What the bloody hell is that?
Tim: That, my friend, is a very, very odd track, stylistically if nothing else, because it doesn’t really fit, well, anywhere.
Tom: There’s some complicated polyrhythm stuff going on it there, I think? The vocals and percussion both seem to be marching to their own drum, but it all comes together in the end.
Tim: It’s—WAIT, I’ve realised where it would fit perfectly. This probably won’t be seen as a compliment, and perhaps it isn’t, but this strikes me as being just right for a Dance Dance Revolution machine. The beats are all there, so’s a load of excitement, and the styling is entirely atemporal so it can run for a decade without seeming out of place.
Tom: As someone who’s played a lot of DDR in his life, I’d quibble with that — the rhythm isn’t necessarily suitable for that. But I’ll grant you, with the odd style, and what seem to be chiptune samples in there, the style’s right.
Tim: Like I said, I’m not sure it’s a compliment, and it’s almost certainly not what she was aiming for, but it certainly makes it good to dance to.
