Under Desire's Spell


Sounding like the synthesized child of John Hughes and Glass Candy, Montreal's Desire is making music that is surprising to no one, yet entertaining nonetheless.

The Canadian trio is unsurprising if only for the fact that they're one of the many 80s-electronic revivalists on Italians Do It Better, a label who's all but corned the noir-electro niche.

With sparse female vocals and keyboard led grooves, "Under Your Spell" is reminiscent of acts like Chromatics or Farah. What sets the song apart is the unique melancholy infatuation of lead singer known only on Myspace as Megan. That, and a vocal breakdown that references Outkast's "Ms. Jackson."
