Single Review: Defend Moscow – Die Tonight (KIDS)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 22 June 2009
Norwegian five-piece Defend Moscow haven’t even been together a year yet and they’ve managed to follow up their sell-out debut single ‘Manifesto’ with a brilliant electro pop tune, ‘Die Tonight’. The playful bass intro has echoes of Late Of The Pier and Franz Ferdinand though the song has a much more lo-fi and raw quality to it. The mix of vocals between the strong Jon Beck and the angelic Sofie Storaas give levels to the song that ultimately make you want to instantly skip back to the beginning to hear it again. The B-side, ‘Sign Of Life’, is a bit more by-the-book and lets the single down a bit. But the remixes and the original track are so confident by themselves, this doesn’t detract from the fact that I am now very excited about the prospect of a Defend Moscow album. GM
