Occasionally, I get on this dance-rock kick. It's a very difficult kick to get off of, so I try not to get wrapped up in it too terribly often...lately though, Franz Ferdinand and The Killers have been circling through my speakers more than anything else. I'm not ashamed to admit that :) However, I was scoping out Daytrotter (which, if you haven't checked it out yet, you really should. I highly recommend their Death Cab, Blitzen Trapper, and Bon Iver sessions) and stumbled across this duo from Cincinnati, who sound like a much milder, more intellectual version of The Killers on their very best day:
Bad Veins
This duo's music is fantastically honest. It's dance-y, it's precious, it's great pop packaged as cinematic indie dance-rock. They're on a Daytrotter-sponsered tour, co-headlining with The Subjects, and doing quite well. Their single, "Gold and Warm" is so charming that I hesitate to forward a better candidate for the top of my New Year's day playlist (look forward to that in a month or so!).
