I’m not against New Wave or ’80s dance/pop music, just the bad stuff. I was never a New Waver, I just liked some of the music. But this? Most of it’s shit.

Lo-fi/open-heart serenades that sound like they’re talking about you… Mortal in its form (four-track recordings?), Bright Eyes sound tragic yet relevant.
