Yeah, the kids do like this sort of thing. Mad Happy tried to do this electro-rap thing five years ago, and they failed miserably. But it wasn’t the concept that sucked. It was just them. Iglu & Hartly understand the importance of unique keywords, so good for them. And the music is alright, too.
“Violent and Young” sounds like a poor man’s Gym Class Heroes. Maybe this band comprises heroes from a math class. “Tomorrow” sounds like a modernized Duran Duran song.
“DayGlo” sounds exactly like you’d expect it to. It’s upbeat and has zany synths. And yes, that’s “funky free” he says, not “fucking free.” This is the one the radio will enjoy for sure. “Whatever We Like” is definitely laden with “shits,” though. It’s like my neighbor’s lawn.
“People” is a little too complicated. There’s too much going on at once, and it doesn’t flow. Then, about two minutes in, everything shuts down, and we get Faith No More-style piano. It’s not adding up to me. Maybe they are doing it in hex.
