Eat to the Beat

Blondie

A frantic, neon-soaked rush of New York new wave. High-gloss production meets a restless, urban fatalism across twelve tracks of sophisticated power pop.

A high-energy, neon-lit rush through the city that balances pop perfection with a restless, fatalistic edge.

Moments Worth Listening For
The relentless, rolling drum fills that open 'Dreaming' and never seem to stop for breath.
The transition from the spacey, atmospheric intro of 'Atomic' into its driving, spaghetti-western-meets-disco bassline.
The sudden, jarring shift into the aggressive, almost theatrical shouting on the closing track 'Victor'.
