It’s been around eight years since ’80s revivalism became cool, but the trend is still going strong. But hey, I’m not complaining—at least not so long I keep hearing songs as good as Austra’s “Beat and the Pulse.” It’s a catchy goth pop tune that envelops you for six glorious minutes of dancefloor-ready beats, ominous synths and ghostly, Knife-esque vocals.
Of course, there are other times I wish the ’80s would just go away.
Austra will release Feel It Break on April 17 via Paper Bag/Domino. Go to Exclaim! to read my album announcement story.
