(DFA) CD
Better late than never with this one… LCD Soundsystem-pals The Juan Maclean return from their heavily underrated debut with a sharp left turn down the alley occupied by Human League. The Future Will Come is far more comfortable in its pop skin than Less Than Human, as evident with current single “One Day” – it’s the dancey love ballad for those who grew up on Depeche Mode, ABC & Human League. The dancefloor will still burn from the rest of this – “The Simple Life” is Italo-disco-pop glory, while “Happy House” is a 12 minute ode to house music, complete with piano riffs & great diva vocals from Nancy Whang. Believe me when I say this, it’s worth listening to the whole 12 minutes.
