Calling upon an era when pop songs and hooks had a secret cleverness about them, Hooray for Earth‘s “True Loves” incorporates a few tricks from 1980’s synth pop/new-wave playbook, while still sounding totally current. The hooks are molasses-y sweet and emotionally charged enough to make the cut of a John Hughes film ("Baby’s Day Out" notwithstanding), but can still throw their weight around on a playlist next to MGMT, Animal Collective, LCD Soundsystem or Passion Pit. Currently touring with Cymbal Eat Guitars in support of their sophomore album "True Loves" , the band will be abck in NYC with a show at the Bowery Ballroom on 10.27. – Read Chuck Davis interview with the band here.
