Hercules & Love Affair
Hercules & Love Affair
It’s DISCO, baby! A fantastical mash-up of decades and decades of dance music, nights-on-the-town, and New York City club culture, Hercules & Love Affair’s self-titled debut legitimizes all the synth-driven, drum-machine programmed, disco-dance revivalism that’s been gaining momentum over the last few years. It’s smart, it’s sexy, it’s provocative, it’s gay and it’s genius. This is about as good a dance record as anyone with taste could hope for in 2008 -- sort of makes you want to break out your “DISCO SUCKS” t-shirts, but only to be ironical.
