I Just Wanna Get With You

Electro-pop seems to encompass a huge range of songs at the moment, everything from Lady Gaga to Little Boots, La Roux to Friendly Fires. Fenech Soler inevitably slot into the same convenient genre, synth heavy foot-stompers with deftly crafted vocal lines. This is pop for girls that dance like Debbie Harry without realising who she is; for boys that will never know their glitter make-up makes them look a little like Bowie. Yet it is also acute enough to be lapped up by the Vice reading hipster brigade.

The Cult Of Romance is a stirring mass of sharp synths, infectious and aggressive guitar squeals, all mixed together with tense vocals. It's an electro orgy, throw it all in the mix and hope no one feels bad in the morning, yet Fenech Soler have crafted something more than the sum of it's parts. They've managed to distil the best parts of the electro renaissance and shaped them into what is basically, a killer tune. With more material of this calibre behind them, this could well be their breakthrough year. B-side Airbrushed is a dirtier beast, a pulsing aggravated electronic scream dripping in airy vocals. A suitable flip side, but not a touch on the pop sensibilities of the single itself.
