Australia’s regularly been a arguable exporter of all things electro-pop — from Kylie as well as Dannii Minogue to Empire of a Sun as well as Cut Copy. Now it’s time for an additional action upon a margin of a dermatitis to get a little stateside lovin’: Sneaky Sound System.
The Sydney-based dance outfit got a begin behind in a early ’00s as a partnership in in between writer Angus McDonald as well as MC Daimon Downey. Years later, a dual met their group’s soon-to-be lead womanlike vocalist — Connie Mitchell, a fanciful disco diva with a powerhouse set of chops — when they found her singing in a park. She’s maybe improved well known as a forever some-more extreme “Miss Connie.”
Sneaky Sound System expelled “I Love It” in 2006, a pulsating disco balance which plays similar to a 21st-century refurbish to Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love.” The strain finished up hovering upon Australia’s ARIA Top 100 for some-more than 70 weeks, ruinous a jot down for longest run upon a chart… ever. The organisation went upon to recover their self-titled jot down after which year, spawning multiform some-more singles, together with “UFO,” a unusual visitor jam which prolonged predates Katy Perry’s “E.T.”
In 2008, a organisation expelled their plain follow-up, 2, ensuing in even some-more implausible singles together with “16,” “Kansas City” as well as a harmful break-up jam, “It’s Not My Problem.” And after Downey’s gentle depart behind in 2009, Sneaky Sound System have downsized to a twin in in between Miss Connie as well as McDonald.
Just dual years later, a dyad have returned with an implausible third strange college of music effort: From Here to Anywhere. From a musty ’70s disco drum lines upon “Friends,” to a buoyant ’80s beats of “Big,” to a cold ’90s bar receptive to advice of “Really Want to See You Again,” Sneaky’s ultimate preference is zero reduced of a cross-generational dance building smorgasbord, all since a smooth, sneaky gloss of 21st century production.
