This is one of those things that got me curious when I first heard it. Maybe that's the intention? The vocals are seductive and they triggered the Antony in me as I'm sure it triggers the Antony in all of us with their good morning boyfriend single. I had to hear more.

I'm gonna say it. I have a new crush and it's a chic with a waist scarf, on roller skates who plays the keyboard named Christine Peirce. So that track by my side stands out for me.

But I just want to say that before this release, the only thing that stood out about this band to me were two things; where was their identity and with that, what was their sound. In their earlier EP releases, they hinted at their ability to build complex dynamics to pull their sounds in different directions. I'm not saying that was necessarily the case, but you can hear it for yourself; sounds like they hit the mark and hit it pretty good.

These guys have been getting to this point since around 2010 which makes me believe that if a band just sticks together, they'll reach the summit.
