Caught in the Crossfire

Fresh from producing for Britney Spears on latest album Circus, Canadian electro pop group Let’s Go to War are back with Life We Live.This is to be the first single from new album Karmegeddon and it sets the record up perfectly with this hip hop infused party gem.

Although Let’s Go To War could be described broadly under various electronic subgenres, perhaps what makes this track work so well is its wide-ranging influences. Whether it’s the gritty Ed Banger inspired electronics, or the heavy sounding boom bap drum beat; it’s all coated in an Andrew WK-like party positivity that makes it perfect for the club.

Perhaps the bands recent remix work for the likes of The Whip and The Music has helped them re-connect with the dancefloor, yet there’s something natural and instinctive about the track which suggests that the two have never been far apart. Here’s hoping for more of the same when the full length drops in March.

Sleekly Brian.
