The Foxglove Hunt

Stop Heartbeat

[3.5/5]

From: Andie

Subject: Pretty in Pink High School Reunion

Body: Duckie, I can’t believe I found you on MySpace! Did you hear the news? They booked the Foxglove Hunt for our high school reunion! It’s a duo from Phoenix who used to be in other keyboard bands-have you ever heard of Joy Electric or Fine China? Anyway, the Foxglove Hunt sound exactly like the synth-pop acts we used to listen to, like the Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Spandau Ballet and New Order. Seriously, the band get the tiniest details right: Tinny drum machines, gothic sound effects, whispery synth blushes and melodramatic vocal swoons. The band even cover the Psychedelic Furs’ “Love My Way,” but with even more dreamy keyboards and melancholy emoting. I can’t wait to dance up a storm to these catchy songs at the reunion! Blaine and I will be there; would love to catch up! (COMMON WALL MEDIA) Annie Zaleski
