Pretty Good Dance Moves - PGDM EP

Genre electronica Publisher (self-release) External Links Pretty Good Dance Moves Website

Pretty Good Dance Moves calls both New York and Chicago home. The band uses a variety of electronic synth noise makers, drum machines, and guitars to create an indie brand of electronica that is hard to discredit. Their debut release, PGDM EP, will most definitely land the band a lucrative record deal and critical appraisal.

The sound of Pretty Good Dance Moves is unique for its lounge like feel, the way it creates not just an original sound but a palatable atmosphere. Most comparatively, the PGDM EP sounds closest to something from the Postal Service because of the way it blends honest lyrics with mild beats and static melodies.

Imagine yourself in a classy lounge surrounded by people you would consider familiar strangers. Casually refilling your favorite drink is a bartender who knows the perfect balance of sizzle and spice. This is the kind of feeling created by the album's track and zip code '60632'. 'Demons Dancing' is an atmospheric expedition with a subtle groove and tonic feel. Fueling the album's theme as a whole is the same serene like sound which beckons "We'll shed our demons dancing, Come on and dance with me".

The album's title track is probably one of it's best. 'PGDM' features a coda that declares "I could never understand you". The song goes on to lucidly discuss the conflict between persons unknown and the plainness that exists between such relationships. 'The Colour Blue' is probably the album's single. Leaning more towards an indie rock sound with electronic undertones, the song features a graceful array of symphonic noises and luminescent vocals. A love song done the right way, honest and through provoking, 'The Colour Blue' does not bank on over zealous emotional tirades to tell its story.

Pretty Good Dance Moves is a cast of characters who creates a witty sort of melting pot of electronica, indie, and pop music. It is not too much of one thing nor too little, it is simply a commendable balance of all. Although the PGDM EP lacks a huge radio appeal, this kind of stock only holds so much value anyway. Real music most often starts by the roots and the deeper Pretty Good Dance Moves digs, the higher they will be able to go with this music.
