The Presets / This Boy's In Love (2008) [wow.]

/ / / / / BEST OF '08 CONTENDER


The Presets / This Boy's In Love (2008)
The Presets / This Boy's In Love (2008)

[ "This Boy's In Love" is the second single to surface from The Presets forthcoming May album Apocalypso and takes a departure from the more trendy, Ed Banger-esque lead single to a more synthpop approach. The single, with its unabashedly homoerotic short film, plays like a classically-trained homage to the Pet Shop Boys' entire career. It's every Disco album and the crux of Actually rolled into one. Lead vocalist Julian truly comes across as Neil Tennant in the heartbreak of it all. I have tickets to see them on June 4th and 5th in New York and cannot wait. This new single is completely making me anticipate the forthcoming album. ]

I STOLE THE KEYS TO THE SKIES
WE'LL LEAVE THIS PLACE FOR THE FINAL TIME
NO CRYING WORDS, NO GOODBYES
TONIGHT WE'RE BURNING ALL THE DARK TIMES

DROWN ALL THE FEARS THAT WE HAD
THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
THIS TIME FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE
'CAUSE BABY TONIGHT THE WORLD BELONGS TO YOU AND I

THIS BOY'S IN LOVE.

Hey Cin, Thanks for responding. I'm glad you are. Any Presets stuff resonate with you to pique your interest?

When I heard their first album Beams it was really special for me. Kind of like Kelis' Kaleidoscope or LRD's Darkdancer, it was an album that struck you at first listen and you knew that something different was happening.

Glad you're feeling it. I really like the synth vibe in it. I can imagine this on loud speakers already.

Thanks. The short film is so good in high def format that YouTube doesn't really do it proper justice. I hope it's included as a bonus feature encoded onto the disc. It's a very memorable vid.

The Jori Hulkkonen remix to this is great, too. Check that one out, definitely.

I just heard another leaked track called "A New Sky" and it's on some Orthodox Catholic chanting/otha ish. CRAZY track. They also performed a new track "Kicking and Screaming" last week live in London.
