Title: After two listens, you're hooked
Review: "The New Romance" will catch you offguard at first, but give it a couple of tries. If you're anything like me, you'll find it severely catchy and almost painfully addictive. The music's post-punk, yes, but poppier than say, Rainer Maria or Sleter-Kinney. Don't be taken aback, it works really well paired with Andrea Zollo's airy, minimalist vocals. The title track is sheer bliss, but the two gems here are the action-packed "Chemical, Chemical" and "This is Our Emergency", a lilting, poppier track. This album is so cool it doesn't really care if you dismiss it or not. Smart listeners will pick up on that.
