LET ME LOVE YOU LIKE YOU'RE THE SHIT GIRL.




Now.
It's about time i started our 'Songs of the Summer' feature.
But before i do, i MUST share this band with you.

Sadly, a quick google tells me i'm 3 days behind Guardian Online.
Shame.

Apparently, BOY CRISIS have a massive A&R buzz around them at the moment, hardly surprising, given the quality production and fucking weird lyrics.

"My guess is that you might bless me with your Holy water just like you were the Pope baby".
Mmm.

However, Guardian Online seem to have an infinite amount of information which they've conjured from some sort of musical magic top hat.

Last.Fm can only tell me that "Boy Crisis is a quartet that lives in NYC - funky/edgy discoteque tracks" - MYSTERIOUZ!

One thing that i DON'T get is the MGMT comparisons. Considering how little i can find on Boy Crisis - these comparisons are splurged across everywhere that the bands name is mentioned. The band even call their management MGMT on their profile - wtf? Have i missed some massive connection here? Apart from both bands country of birth?

Quotes -
"File next to: The Normal, Tigercity, Fischerspooner, MGMT."
"The buzz: "Like MGMT, Boy Crisis make highly danceable electro-pop that's so brutally hip and 'now' that it hurts."

Last.Fm has their top similar artist down as MGMT.

Hell, MGMT are their top friend on the Myspak.

Hmph.

Who knows.

Here's a great song for you anyway!

*EDIT: I actually got around to reading the Guardian article. Lol. Turns out they went to the same college as MGMT. But still sound nothing like them. IMO anyway.*

the MGMT comparisons are annoying. they are nothing alike, but they are very good.
