The latest from these on-the-rise Brooklynites comes once again from both Rong AND DFA at the same time (talk about a good label deal), so if you haven't heard about these guys ilsten up. "Royal Family(1)" is a prime slice of modern dance rock goodness that pushes the boundaries and blurs the edges. Slightly dark, but definitely danceable and with a quirky, artsy vibe. "Grumpy(2)" ups the BPMs to a speedy electro tempo adding funky bass and energetic vocals in the mix for a hip dance bomb... I can see both of these being played at bars in Williamsburg for the rest of the summer and then some! Of course you get the remix action - one from Brothers(3) who turn in a chuggin' electro version of "Royal Family" and one from UK DJ legend Greg Wilson(4) who does a dubbed out disco take on "Grumpy."
