Dutch Uncles Offer Quirky Dance Pop

Leave a comment

doubledutchSeems like Hot Chip‘s been rather quiet, so the next big thing for those that like nerdy dance music has to be Dutch Uncles.  They use some of the same touches, offering a main vocalist grooving over the top of gang vocals; it’s playful, which matches the musical approach of the group.  But, like my favorite dance music, I like the fact that there’s a prominent instrument featured here; you can hear the guitar knifing it’s way through the entirety of the track.  This tune will appear on the band’s new album, O Shudder, which will be added to an already packed February 24th via Memphis Industries.

Smooth Dancing with Dutch Uncles

ducthovensI wanted to post this song.  As I’m sitting here working, recapping the day, my old lady says “Is that Hot Chip?”  That sort of sums up the work that the new Dutch Uncles have released this week, though I think there’s a smoother polish to the craftsmanship of their electro-pop.  It’s not filled with these hit-you-over-the-head beats, but these subtle little electro pulses.  The group announced they’ll be releasing a new album, O’Shudder, via Memphis Industries on February 24th. Enjoy your easy-listening.
