Annie could have been the queen of this whole electro-pop girl genre that has come to the forefront with Little Boots and La Roux but I guess she has bad luck, with being dropped from Vice cause she did poorly in North America.

This new tune is her usual bubblegum pop with a little touch of diet bloghaus banger. The pre-chorus vocal melody even reminds me of “Chewing Gum”. We shall see what else she has in store when her album drops next week.

Annie – I Don’t Like Your Band

I love how Krautrock this track sounds at first, The swirling synth swells, the pedaling bass line and the motoring drum part, Neu! and Kraftwerk would be proud. Then the track kicks into its full fledged disco, dance goodness. And then the bridge just filters out and melts away then trickles back into its full fidelity. I can’t wait for Mr. Falke’s reworking of the already catchy “Two Weeks” by Grizzly Bear. Cheers, Mr. Falke.

Annie is back with her Norwegian electropop goodness. Dance hipsters, dance. I can hear this track on repeat at every Urban Outfitters this summer along with the new Passion Pit single, “The Reeling”.
