If you’ve read this blog for any length, you can probably guess that there’s not much music in my library labeled under Electronica/Dance. I’m way more comfortable at a dive bar than a club and I’ll take Johnny Cash over house music any day. Somehow, regardless of the genre that includes the word “electronica,” I’m addicted to The Battle Royale.
When I first listened to the album, it felt like I was struck by lightning. The first half is part electronic and part guitar-driven rock and roll, then halfway through, something strange happens. Wake Up Thunderbabe turns into acoustic indie-pop and they pull it off brilliantly.
This is versatility at its finest. Drive into work listening to the first half of the album with your morning cup of joe, then wind down your day with the second half. Listen to all the mp3’s below and you’ll get my drift - Seriously, don’t let “Racecar” turn you off if it’s not your thing. Just move down to “Let’s Leave” and don’t let the Electronica/Dance label fool you. The Battle Royale can’t be limited to any one genre.
