Disco Inferno, "Second Language"
The article on the KEXP page refers to them as being part of the same genre as Joy Division, which is apt, but really I hear more of a likeness to The The and The Communards (and by extension Bronski Beat). My mind also recognizes a kinship to Shoegaze, but of course I tend to go into a trance when I think of Shoegaze, so I can't be sure. A band should be judged only against itself, though. "Second Language" is languid, rich and melodic. It's an example of the best of the unselfconscious 80's and 90's.
