Altered Zones

Olde English Spelling Bee just released Greatest Hits' debut 7" into the world via Soundcloud. That's right-- four songs spread over two 7" sides, 100% free, 100% MP3, 100% dance pop euphoria. Lead track "Danse Pop" dives right into what makes Greatest Hits great, melding pulverizing rhythms, singsong vocals, and a bouncing bass into one monster of a club jam. It kicks off muffled for a few seconds, like listening to a tape of songs you recorded off the radio when you were old enough to think it was actually a good idea. Then it takes off, greeting its ancestors with open arms, but at the same time gazing past them. "Danse Pop" updates a hyperactive and robotic electro sound of decades past by injecting a completely relatable, human, even romantic element. The only problem? It's over after 122 seconds.
