Crystal Fighters - Star Of Love

As with many artists these last couple of years, Crystal Fighters incorporate lots of different sounds and rhythms in each song, in the neverending quest for the freshest sound. You get the idea, then. Almost half of the songs are pop music in various shapes, with lots of studio work and an uplifting vibe running through. The other half is songs like "I Do This Everyday" and "I Love London" which are the gritty, experimental, trippy dance music that M.I.A. is so looking for to make, but can't. And "Swallow", that's a great song, lyrics, sound, vibe, idea. Good debut for the brits, though I don't actually get the idea of the album, as the songs sound too detached from one another.

Star Of Love is out October 4th, but you lucky reader can listen to it now here
