Black Light Dinner Party – Older Together
Live drums, a fuzzy bassline, a killer lead makes up this track from Black Light Dinner Party. This track is more in the electronic vein of Miike Snow, so in other words, this is a winner. Looking forward to hearing more from BLDP! For the time being you can follow them on Facebook.

Not so much a single as a total entertainment package, Datarock really are spoiling us. However if you’ve not got the greenbacks to pick up the physical release, feast your eyes on the vivid new video…
