Sydney’s Conics have long been on my radar. Since I caught them supporting Gold Fields back in 2012 they have been producing some amazing singles and snippets, to mixed success for a band at their stage. The single “This Moment” was a brilliant electro-pop tune that actually ripped through my playlist for at least a solid year. The latest effort “Burning Up” is a fantastic, catchy track, even if it does leave me thinking it potentially could have been done better by a Cut Copy or a Van She.
Don’t let that statement scare you off though. “Burning Up” is on point. It uses repetition in exactly the right places, leaving room for a cheeky chant if you’ve decided you’re that into it. It’s sly poppy enough to feature a few hooks here and there, and chorus fires with the confidence and musicianship you hear in some of the biggest electro-pop icons. They will surely be out with some more new material this year so head over to their Facebook page and keep a look out.
