Ra Ra Riot – Beta Love (Barsuk records)
Clad with a damaged VHS video ala Bruno Mars recorded in a tv studio featuring some of the worst dancing you’ve ever seen, , this beat laden electro pop song fizzes with an almost sickly amount of optimistic cute, soaring violins and a gorgeous pop chorus. Ra Ra Riot, an American four-piece have a natty line in twee which on this showing, is highly desirable. 8/10
