Chromeo

Chromeo is the self-proclaimed "first band composed of a Jew and an Arab" which I think it pretty awesome. As one could assume from the title, the band is A. electronic (chrome), B. dramatic, 80s-like (romeo), C. somewhat unserious (dumb mash-up name).

I love synth right now. I really feel like music like this has a place in modern clubs. Check out Fancy Footwork for a taste of the new school of club music, and Momma's Boy to hear a true 80s tribute track.

Most of all, it is refreshing to have 80s tribute music that lacks the sort of seriousness and pretension that so invades the majority of other groups.

Enjoy.
