    Ultimately though, whether robotic or human, binary or organic, it is Ra Ra Riot's gift for addictive, romantic songcraft that gives Beta Love its heart.

    Beta Love is the best of both worlds: surprisingly slick and danceable, while subtly amplifying their art-school charm.

    The band's decision to eschew their trademark orchestration in favour of a more synth-driven sound was, sadly, a mistake.
