Studio Killers debut album is dance pop at it's best


Studio Killers' big single "Ode To Bouncer" is the kind of ear crack that will bounce around your skull all day without escape.  When a band can mix a great beat with clever lyrics, that's normally ingredients for a massive hit and this is what Studio Killers have accomplished with this song.  There's no need to dissect it, just take a listen and get hooked for yourself.  The animation for the video is fantastic as well.  This Danish band has a bright future on the pop charts.  


Now, as far as the rest of their album,  it's all pretty strong dance ready music.  There might not be another song as strong or hooky as "Ode To Bouncer" but there are plenty of songs on here to make this worth purchasing and not cherry picking for the best songs on iTunes.  "Eros and Apollo" is their newest single and it's definitely the album's second strongest song.  Whoever is in charge of the band's releases, knows how to pick the right tracks.  There's something about the vocals to their music that puts it a step above the normal euro dance music.  There's almost a Erasure feel to it.


There's a lot on this album to like.  I highly recommend it for anyone that enjoys fun dance music.  Nothing too serious or mind blowing electronica happening here but sometimes it's about the toe tapping nature of it all.  Other songs like "Jenny" and "All Men Are Pigs" make this one of the year's best in it's respective genre.
