Elevator Love Letter

Tanya Sweeney

Ah, this is just lovely. In a world of ready made careers and fake reality, this is real pop music made by real people – just like New Order and Human League used to make. With gorgeous summery vocals, shimmering keyboards, thrusting bass and the gentle strum of electric guitars, ‘Elevator Love Letter’ has an unavoidable ’80s feel, but not in some awful school disco nostalgia night sense. Classy, glamorous, deeply infectious and I bet they dress well too.
