THE DOUBLE - LOOSE IN THE AIR (LP)

NYC's The Double deliver their Matador debut, a worthy successor to 2004's 'Palm Fronds'. The massed Ace Tone/Vox/Casio keys and floating vocals have led some staff members to liken the sound to music as diverse as '60s British folk mixed with theatrical synth bands. But the spooky/paranoid vibes and insistent, inventive rhythms of the percussion build up a wall of sound more nervous and intense than the comparison might suggest. Irresistible pop melodies are laid on top. An indescribable and lovely mess.
