Think About Life
Havin My Baby the best track this Quebec four-pieces second full-length, Family effervescently incorporates a sped-up, chipmunk-style clip of Wham!s Everything She wants over frenetic keyboards, while Johanna opens with a groovy flute solo sample before breaking into big band horns. Its a lot of material to take in. But Think About Life adroitly ties it all in with their own throbbing bass solos, descanting vocals, poetically spirited lyrics (on Sweet Sixteen, they sing, Oh in the summer nights dancing in the gay clubs/All the magic was brewing, we slept late every day/Youre the pearl in my heart, the golden seashell in my dreams), and some fantastic four-on-the-floor beats. I doubt therell be a better dance party at the Crocodile this year. ERIN K. THOMPSON
