    It's fair to say that Hooray For Earth is a relative latecomer to the indie synth-rock party, but it certainly makes for an interesting guest

    With its infectious energy and gargantuan hooks, there's little doubt True Loves is going to turn more than a few heads.

    Heroux may yet have an album in him that doesn't basically sound like his favourite '80s music stapled together, but this ain't it.

    Hooray for Earth astound with a clever mix of pop, rock and synth - their debut LP is that good. Tracks from 3 to 5 are the core of the record. They show Noel Heroux and his bandmates as crafters of songs that are the missing link between what’s electronic and what’s organic. Same supports the idea that techno doesn’t have to be cheap and embarrassing. True Loves is a powerful experimental pop track that demands multiple listen (youtube the video now!). In short, Hooray for Earth do ’80s better than most ’80s bands. Anyone who knows what’s on the cover, please don’t keep me waiting.… Expand
