Always chasing the Feed Me's Big Adventure dragon - trying to find that sweet spot where someone uses all those superfat synth piles and chippy-chop skitter-drops to make something thrilling, without tipping over into stadium-rave fratiness.
This hits it better than most: an idea-packed, good-fun record with all the best of the 80's revival sound. The stage is set with Kavinsky highway danger, M83 romance, and more screaming guitars and wailing saxes and tom scales than you could possibly need. Throw in some glitchy tricks and some Daft Punk robot-disco - I'll be damned it all works. Despite all the borrowing of borrowing, it pulls it off. A surprisingly cohesive, damned exciting listen, 4/5
