Neon Trees and Daft Punk

Today I have some music for you by the band Neon Trees. They recently made their way to Dallas a while ago, and it was quite the show. One of the things that I absolutely love about Neon Trees is that they have very energetic music that stays kind of consistent. They do experiment a little bit, but they also tend to stick with their specific style. While a lot of times we like to see evolution in an artist's musical style, Neon Trees has something special going on with their music. Neon Trees is a band that is caught in the modern synth pop but also with that groovy retro sound that really makes them stand out. Neon Trees really takes that 80's sound and makes it completely their own with that modern twist. A lot of people try to do this, but Neon Trees does it so seamlessly and effortlessly. I think that is one of the things that first got me into their music. There is always this groove factor. Even with this song we get that grooviness and that dance feel from the beginning, while also getting a huge component of actual rock band sounds. This is a group that started out pretty ballsy from the get go. When Neon Trees started making music, that whole disco and funk rock was not very popular. They definitely helped bring some of that to the mainstream music world, and have since kept that style and sound. This song has a wonderful pumped up sound to it and is one of those sing-a-long songs. I always find myself needing to sing to this song. I can try to not sing but it still happens! This song has so much energy and such a great energy that you can't escape. But I absolutely love it! Today's instrumental song is by Daft Punk. This is another artist who really nailed the retro groove. I mean, they are most known for pioneering that kind of sound! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
