thenewno2 - New album - thefearofmissingout

Hi All,

Beatles, Beatles, Beatles, Beatles. There we go, all gone (and google rank up).

This is thenewno2 with their new album "thefearofmissingout", and presumably space bars.

Thenewno2 are, from what I can make out, a poppy type dance music band. This stuff can easily be sampled and remixed by a bunch of unhappy DJs in small clubs just outside of Ibiza. I don't think professional DJs would bother, its great as it is, but falls short of the 45 minutes normal dance tunes require.

Their new single "Make it Home" is the only one that harks back into family history. It sounds very like late Beatles, but with a driving beat and piano riff that you wouldn't associate with the monsters of 60's rock and roll.

The album itself is dance driven, fast beats with slow lyrics splitting the difference. With driven bass beats and drums and lilting piano, you get a kind of dichotomous feeling. Like chilling out in the sun while having a small cat attacking your feet.

All in all, a great album. It'll be released on 17th Sept on H.O.T records.

Thanks for reading,
