DOWNLOAD the New Tesla Boy Single!
I know, I posted the video yesterday, but now you can download the new single from Russia’s Tesla Boy, “Thinking of You,” to listen to where ever you please! Thank the kind folks at Mullet Records for this one, and be sure to pick up the band’s new album, Modern Thrills.
NEW TESLA BOY!
Tesla Boy - Thinking of You
If you haven’t picked up the new Tesla Boy record, Modern Thrills, you’re missing out on some of the best new old music around. I featured the band’s EP, Tesla Boy, on here awhile back and was eagerly anticipating this record. Thankfully the album delivers on the retro, synth-laden, nu-disco that I loved about their EP.
The video above is the band’s new single, “Thinking of You.” While, the video is relatively uninspired and, well, boring, the track is stellar. Buy their record(s) so they’ll come tour in the states already.
MUSIC MONDAY
TESLA BOY - Runaway Man
Tesla Boy is what I’ve been waiting for, a throwback 80s electro pop band, with no problem embracing the over-the-top aesthetics that made the 80s the decade of excess. Tesla Boy is fun, sweaty, and relentless is their pursuit of making you dance.
This Russian trio manages to stand out from peers like Cut Copy or Ladyhawke by ditching the guitars and structuring their tracks more like DJ cuts than indie rock songs. There’s no sense of cool or nonchalance to be found, no attempts to blur genre lines, just a complete sense of three dudes having the time of their lives.
Tesla Boy is full of ear candy, nonstop dance beats, and huge hooks. I don’t even want to talk about it anymore. Just look at the band and their logo and know that it’s everything you’ve been looking for.
These tracks come from the band’s 2009 EP, Tesla Boy. Keep an eye out for the band’s debut full length due out this summer. Oh and watch this live video below. Party hard, my friends!
