You have to be wary of a band said to have formed to sell neon unicorn jewellery out of a souped-up ice-cream truck in NY. Hearts Revolution are as enigmatic and as self-mytholigsing as their close cousins, Crystal Castles, with whom they released a glow-in-the-dark vinyl collaboration. This single is a mash-up of vaguely melodic, robotic vocals with 4chan lyrics, predictable sub-Alice Practice clashy sampling and the abiding air of 90s disco workout music. The overall effect, with the cutesy lyrics (‘foxes and bunnies, fire and snow, we’re all just lost, don’t know which way to go’) and their unicorn-peddling providence, is less menacing than the usual vacant-faced electro darlings, but no more substantial, coming off as a remix of a remix of a song that possibly never existed. House music to blog to.
