There are moments in time when I wish the world of synth heavy campy pop had died in 1989. Then there are albums that come along and imagine old themes with such a fresh face that you can’t help but love both where we’ve been and where we’re all heading. Black Kids debut album, Partie Traumatic (amazon) (itunes), is one of those albums. From start to end, even when existentially singing from the point of view of their own body, the album is fun, quick, and ultimately dance inspiring.

The second track is the song that first introduced me to Black Kids in the form of a brilliant, yes brilliant, remix {which will be posted tomorrow as part of the next BOTR volume}. I also think the name of the song is quite hilarious {and yet tragic at the same time}. The entire album is quite nice though and flows well from track to track. Granted there are some more melodramatic melodies apparent on some songs, but overall the album has a general cavalier attitude toward life, relationships, and music.
