Last year’s Half Eaten by Dogs was a ridiculously solid effort from Cincinnati’s The Serfs; it warranted a brilliant tour through the EU throughout this November, and with that, the group are offering up a limited 7″ for their tour, with a few copies available in the States. “Paid in Full” is the A-side, and honestly, it reminds me of a more accessible version of The Knife; it’s got that same synthetic sound, but there’s something that feels friendly and like it’s perfectly built to soundtrack some futuristic show on Apple TV. But, just because they pull off a perfect club hit, doesn’t mean they can’t tether that to a more traditional rock ethos, like they do on the B-side, “Regen.” I love the descending guitar lines that run through this track, with the vocals matching that movement. This 7″ is out November 8th via Trouble In Mind, who of late have been on the forefront of the great melting pot between dance and indie rock (see Dummy, Naked Roommate, the Serfs, etc). EU tour dates can be found on the group’s Bandcamp Page.
