Over the course of "being a music blogger" lots of "bands" send you "music" in the hopes that you'll like their "innovative style" and "rich sound". They want you to "give their tunes a listen" because, their promoters promise, they're "the next best thing".
Some of the time this music is awful. Most of the time it's mediocre, and sometimes it's even pretty decent. But sometimes a track comes along that is just completely awesome. Music that is polished (not Polished), catchy, and interesting. Recently, one such track caught my ear.
The band is called Love Between Equals, and the track is Young Love. It's energetic, catchy, and sonically huge. Sure, it's a little bit repetitive, but it's repetitive in a good way. The kind that makes you want to start listening to it again as soon as it's over.
If The Faint, MSTRKRFT, and Daft Punk had a red-bull fueled one night stand, they would make Young Love.
I'm not saying Love Between Equals is going to go anywhere. The other songs at their (his?) myspace leave something to be desired (Fatbacks is decent), the use of autotune in contemporary music continues to bug me, and the production is a bit choppy and one-note at times. Love Between Equals may never make a label record, but they did make one freakin' banger track.
