Pixelated palm trees blur into the background as your cherry red Lambo speeds into the sunset. That's the scene set in the video game world of PLUG-IN CITY, the latest foot soldiers from Modular Records' ‘80s dance dance revolution.

This heaving, seething Melbourne five-piece wield slinky bass lines, squelching synths and urgent flock-of vocals. Casey Rice's production is spot-on as always, with shimmering guitars, warm thick bass, and moody atmosphere. And while they've got some catchy pop hooks, the best bits on the PLUG-IN CITY EP are the occasional atonal chord change, or the off-kilter rhythm - the bits that make this more moody than MIAMI VICE.

Grab your Ray-Bans, it's gonna be a hot summer in PLUG-IN CITY. Which kicks ass over a cold winter in Strap-on County.
