Every so often over the past few years you’d hear a whisper about this new Brooklyn band featuring a couple of indie rock veterans. Supposedly they’d been practicing since 2006, but weren’t ready to play live yet. Then they finally did play and immediately a bootleg recording of that first show spread all over the web. In lieu of having anything recorded for people to hear, the band even put some of the songs on its MySpace page.

Dancing Heals is melodramatic popular song. Combining the youthful passion of soaring synths and crystal acoustics layered with the subtlety of red wine inebriation; the music lies somewhere between the thump of Arcade Fire and the delicacy of Nick Drake. It’s easy, inviting and layered for a thousand listens. The band was born in 2008 from a collection of seasoned Melbourne musicians. Having instruments ranging from electric and acoustic guitars, hammonds and synths, to live drums and samples, the songs take on their own depth without conforming to any one particular trend.
