Club 8 “Dancing With The Mentally Ill”

Club 8 have embraced Western African and Latin rhythms on their latest album, mostly resulting in wispy Scandinavian pop with a festive, busy beat. “Dancing With The Mentally Ill” is the best track on the record, but also something of an exception to the general tone, going dark and lean where the rest shoot for sweet and perky. There’s a great sense of space in this track, and the shift into the chorus is far more dramatic than one could normally expect from this band, who typically err on the side of softness and subtlety. As it turns out, sexy and spooky suits them. Maybe it’s time for them to go a bit goth.
