the lab review

The Bravery had a hit a few years ago with "An Honest Mistake," and here they're preparing to take the world again with their new wave/power pop sound. "Slow Poison(1)" is a a pretty generic indie dance track, but catchy enough that it could see some mainstream success if it gets enough push. The real reason you're here, though, is to see what Drop The Lime's take on power pop(2) sounds like. DTL puts forward what is by far the most commercial, straight-laced track I've ever heard from him. That's not a bad thing though, cause I'm not sure I want to hear what happens when the Bravery singer's emo-warble gets combined with Drop The Lime's signature bassy-wobble. The icing on this one is the steel drum parts, which add a nice lightness to the track and make it an easy addition to any indie dance night's playlist. Pressed on a nifty looking transparent-orange 10", plays at 33.
