Fashion - Blinded By The Dark

"We keep on pumping but the veins are dry"

Fashion are a new four-piece pop/rock band from Sweden that needs to be on your radar immediately. This song, in particular, has a surging dance energy and dramatic melody reminiscent of fellow Swedes Gravitonas work on their single, Kites. It's that perfect hybrid of rock, synth and pure pop that Scandinavian artists seem to do better than anyone else. It's cool and vaguely indie, but produced with such a meticulous sheen that it'd be hard for Top 40 radio to ignore. When the funk really comes in after the first chorus, resistance is futile. And although this (to me) is clearly the standout "single" of the bunch, the other songs they've got streaming on their facebook are pretty darn good as well.
