Little Racer - Dancing (MP3)
It sounds like a cliche, but New York band Little Racer really were big in the UK before breaking through here in the States. Their 2010 debut single caught the attention of BBC Radio and London label Young and Lost Club, who continue to support the band on their new EP, Modern Accent, with Papercup Music here in the U.S.
By combining their love of British '80s pop with Brooklyn's surf-scene, Little Racer manage to get ahead of the pack. Frontman Elliot Michaud told CMJ Magazine, "We started out writing pop music and we still do; whether the songs are changing is purely from whatever is coming out of our brew."
There aren't any west coast shows on their schedule, but you can chase after Little Racer on Facebook and Twitter. And check out the video for the track "Dancing" below, directed by Alex Christenson:
