Hey Willpower
OK, it's guilty pleasure music, but so what? Hey Willpower make funky, electropop confections on their debut release, P.D.A. The band includes Will Schwartz of Imperial Teen, another band I consider a guilty pleasure, so I guess this isn't surprising, but still. When someone uses the lyric "party in my pants" with a straight face, it does give you momentary pause; however, in the tradition of bands like IQU and Cibo Matto, this is still pretty fun stuff, even if a little silly on occasion. The record's been out in Europe for a while; this new North American release includes a cover of the Architecture In Helsinki track, "Heart It Races."
