I first encountered New York electropop duo Dangerous Muse this time last year, when I became slightly infatuated with an old track of theirs called 'The Rejection'.At the time, reliable sources (read: Wikipedia) claimed the release of their debut album was imminent and that they had worked with genius producers Bloodshy & Avant (two thirds of Miike Snow and responsible for Britney's best material).
Sure enough, a few months later a teaser trailer for the album's lead single 'I Want It All' surfaced. But then... nothing.
Rumour has it the pair were experiencing 'label issues' and a decision was made not to release 'I Want It All'. Now, almost seven months later, the track has materialised in its entirety, purportedly leaked on to the interweb by the band themselves.
It's an absolute gem of a pop-tune, laced with stabbing synths and underpinned by a wonderfully grubby bassline that perfectly complements Mike Furey's breathy vocal. Frankly, I can't really understand why Warner would shelve it.
Here's hoping we get to hear the full album at some point.
