And for something totally different…. Here’s Jump Clubb, a band who insists on remaining anonymous. Huh? Well, given my identity crisis I am no one to cast stones, now am I? So this gimmick is interesting and caught my eye and I gave the song a listen and well, yeah. It’s lo-fi, dance, indie disco. How’s that strike ya for a Friday? One thing I’ve noticed about dance music on some blogs and certainly in some of the places I’ve been, is that there’s not enough repetition to really get a groove going. I know that sounds crazy, because that’s the one critique that people who hate dance music always make. But honest, you have to have enough of that steady beat and some repeating chorus so you can really get into it before they switch it up and surprise ya. Nothing’s worse than being out there on the dancefloor and looking like an idiot because the track they’re playing can’t seem to get itself together long enough for you to figure out how to move to it. Or perhaps I’m just not a good dancer, I’ve been accused of that, for sure!

So I think you’ll see that “A Frozen Hug” has what I’m talking about. Is it lo-fi? Hmmm, kinda, in that it does have an analog feel to it. I know it sounds like 50 songs from the 80s that I can’t think of the titles of right now, but honestly, the more I listen to it, the more I like it.  Check out the video below for the title track off their upcoming album, The Love of No Dance. Enjoy, and do something wild with your weekend, darlings xoxo
