"This wigged-out Aussie duo — featuring Luke Steele of the Sleepy Jackson — have lots of straightforward pop chops, but they prefer to get wonky with cheesetastic, Eighties-flavored keyboards and nonsense rhymes like "Hotdog belt donut melt/Magpie knelt by itself." Their debut sounds like Europop on Special K: "We Are the People" could be MGMT, combining acoustic guitar, a disco beat and a high-register refrain that begins, "We are the people that rule the world." "Without You" evokes Labyrinth-era Bowie with its deep, quivering vocals and loopy keyboards. Welcome to the overripe Eighties." (rollingstone.com)
