The 80's Are Back! At Least In London . . .

More new music worth checking out today comes via London indie rockers, White Lies. To Lose My Life . . . was released in disc form today (tracks were previously available via digital download). These moody, synth rockers from London developed a sound more in sync with Harry McVeigh's purposeful voice after originally banding under a more poppy note as Fear of Flying.

The self-titled track recalls 80's synth pop with a modern indie feel much in the same manner as She Wants Revenge and Interpol. "A Place To Hide" features McVeigh's range more prominently, while "Unfinished Business" includes a church organ to frame the lyrical flow of the song. All the tracks on To Lose My Life . . . feel as if British indie rock has rediscovered its new wave/rave roots. "Farewell to the Fairground" combines old and new in the bouncy, yet rockin' sendoff message tune. Remember the dance music you can rock to? You have it here again with White Lies.
