hello little pumpkins. you know what i love? bands that make indie dance music. i like the pairing of casio beats with triple tracked vocals and lyrics in the vein of justin timberlake… these are the things that make me a happy little dancer. perhaps i will tap on my jeans as i walk, or even be driven to do a fairly bad version of the robot.
perfect band to do this too: hey willpower!
if you don’t believe me check this:
not only does this band come from a long line of favorite bands of mine that use an exclamation point in their name (the go! team, los campesinos!) but they are shamelessly copping their style from justin timberlake; and yet they keep it real. this is not low rent j-tim, this is what justin timberlake wishes he sounded like on his demos before timbaland comes and does his supersonic magic. the “oh babies”, background “heys”, nearly meaningless verses and silky canned strings mingle so kindly with one another. like a 3rd year college party where they are only serving red wine.
hundredaires indeed. they also dare to undersell themselves at 2:56 - “i’m only just a piece of @$$.”
no you aren’t, hey willpower!. you’re empowerers - daring untanned indie kids to dance all over.
hate in the comments. more soon.
