The Limousines - Flaskaboozendancingshoes

Favorite lyrics: Otherwise a perfect night, if we're not dead before it ends.

This whole song is about living in the moment, and it sends out a kind of immortal high. The lyrics fuse a bitter reality with a sonic lightness, a soberness sided with recklessness, and it's perfected into a beat that makes you want to dance. It has a Shiny Toy Guns or Owl City feel, an electric voice paired with music you can float on. The frontman, Eric Victorino, used to be in a rock band and moved on to a more energetic pop sound with The Limousines other half, Giovanni Giusti. But it's not just electro-pop - it's not something you've heard a million times before. It has a kind of candid sound that you could listen to on a wooden record player. They seem to keep a smooth pop-rock studied voice, but with a lot of added caffeine and keyboard. Listening to them is like being on the edge of what music should be in the upcoming generation.
