DAWN OF THE DEAD!!!

Well, really it's Does It Offend You, Yeah?, who I wrote about a while ago, but now I think I discussed the wrong song. As good as their upbeat dance songs are, "Dawn of the Dead" kicks like it's the late seventies/early eighties and New Order is the coolest shit around. It's a tight, well crafted pop song with forlorn vocals and not a penny spared on production. The chorus glows with a really nice keyboard part and the thin, electric sounding distortion on the guitar gives it a synthy feel. The drums are just perfect. They put this big reverb on the snare at just the right times and the symbols share space at the top of the mix with the guitar, so they don't consume, they only emphasize. It's awesome, awesome stuff.
