So here’s one to shake off the mid-week blues. Electro pop duo Solar Heist have just released their sophomore EP Day Trip, a wildly emphatic five songs of the synth pop persuasion that invites dancefloor abandon. Its members, Jason Powers and Justin Karcich, are longtime friends who share a symbiotic creative relationship: Powers mostly gives the songs their conceptual treatment, while Karcich draws on his experience as a DJ to flesh out their compositional style.
Though no tour dates have been announced just yet, the band is currently preparing to take these songs into a live setting this summer and fall. Which, frankly, sounds like the perfect way to end that jolly day trip.
