EMERGENCY: You need to listen to this album.
The Emergency, based in Melbourne, Australia, has been rubbing shoulders with super awesome electro-pop acts such as Cut Copy, The Presets, Architecture in Helsinki, A.R.E. Weapons, Glass Candy, and Midnight Juggernauts for quite some years now. More importantly, they've released plenty of that gooey, head-bobbing, body-movin', booty-shakin', synth-drenched music that everybody has been mega craving more of lately... but a few years ago in 2001ish! Super hipster status. It's like when Discovery covered and released Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" on their LP like 2 seconds before Michael Jackson passed away - except not that intense at all.
During the past few years, vocalist/keyboardist Milo and Morgan the gadgeteer have been in the studio cranking out some vinyl singles and remixes. Ubes cool! However, word on the street is that cassette tapes are making a comeback (vinyl's apparently too vintage now), so get on that Emergency!
Dreams That Money Can Buy is the duo's second studio album and features Sydney-based artist Catcall and Outrun's bassist Mark O'Keeffe. The new record was completely recorded and produced in their own studio allowing them the DIY creative license that may not have been available elsewhere.
Hit up their MySpace for more details on their various releases and new music!
