Heads We Dance
Posted by Jon M on June 1st, 2009Today sees the official Fake DIY Records release of the Heads We Dance debut album “Love Technology”
I’m personally delighted to finally see the fruition of many years of endeavour from the guys. In a previous life, early incarnations of our respective bands crossed paths/shared bills, as some of the dedicated may have witnessed, whilst behind the scenes: trials, tribulations, learning curves, call them what you will - the most important fact is that now, finally, there is a proper record to hold in your hands. And it’s a bloody good one n’ all.
“Love Technology” is a pop record, no diggity, but as with all great pop it’s at the darker edge. Tales of seediness and loneliness are played out over a Daft Punk meets the Pet Shop Boys soundtrack, which all makes for a very ambitious record. I would wager too ambitious for some palettes, but for me: if a job’s worth doing it’s worth doing right. And it’s never more right than on “My Heart Is Set On You”, a parallel universe number 1 to be sure.
