"The swagger in your shoulder"Welcome back, Vivek Shraya! His last album was one of the most refreshing indie releases of 2007. Now he's back with his new one, Keys & Machines, and it's more of the same disco/electro/pop concoction. I'm a huge fan of Shraya's vocals, which on some tracks remind me of George Michael, Jake Spears and (more recently) Tommy Sparks. Not only that, but I love the simplicity and catchiness of his songs. I Am A Bass Drum was the album track that stuck with me most instantly, an aggressive anthem filled with handclaps, electronic squiggles and a whole lot of attitude. It sounds like the brother to Tommy Sparks' I'm A Rope. Both amazing pop songs.
