Brite Futures - Dark Past

Vinyl LP pressing. 2011 album from Seattle's fun-loving quintet. It is a youthful, swaggering mix of synth-happy pop, rock, funk, disco, and New Wave that has been described as "punk rock ABBA disco Osmonds with chainsaws." It challenges the notion that irresistible pop can only be peddled by solo artists propped up by big-name songwriters and major labels. It's game on for these pop, indie-minded twenty-some-things this album mixed by Eliot James (Two Door Cinema Club, Kaiser Chiefs) and produced by the band's guitarist and vocalist Luke Smith.
